It was nice, map is not 100% accurate. We missed one spot as couldn't find it at all. Use a lot of battery so sadly couldn't find it

Fin promenad genom Budapest.

Mats_F, Mar 2025

Kul o lärorik promenad genom Budapest ca 5.5 km. Vackra byggnader o monument man annars skulle ha missat. Gick tillsammans med mina 3 barnbarn(15 år)som även dom tyckte detta var toppen. Rekommenderas!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Stort tack för din fina recension! Vi är så glada att du och dina barnbarn hade en rolig och lärorik promenad genom Budapest. Det är precis vad vi hoppas på – att upptäcka vackra platser man annars kanske skulle missa, och ha kul tillsammans under tiden. Tack för rekommendationen, och vi hoppas få följa med er på fler äventyr framöver!

Super

Charlotte_D, Feb 2020

superbe expérience qui ressemble beaucoup au terraventura en France. Seul petit hic pour la traduction qui n’est pas en français ! Cela nous aurait un peu arranger sur certains mots historiques 😊

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Hey Charlotte, thanks for choosing Questo to explore Budapest. We'll translate the quest in French very soon. Hope to see you soon exploring another city with us:)
