Exceptional small-group historical tour of the Pest side of Budapest. Tour guide provided a great historical tour of the area and was very informative. Tour consisted of a lot of walking, but it was very worthwhile. I highly recommend this tour. It's a much better experience than the cruise ship busload tours.

Steven “the tall” took us on quite a journey across the history and space of the Budapest waterfront and downtown area. The Bascilica, the financials, the previous grain exchange. All while relating the impacts of the invading powers and wars of the previous century. Statutes, building adoration depicting the beliefs, struggles and enduring drive of the Hungarian people. Lots of ground covered though.

Andrew did an excellent job of providing detailed history of the region and cities. We covered a very large area. There is much walking in the three hours but he kept the pace easy. Great tour!
