We were really looking...

Alana_F, Apr 2025

We were really looking forward to seeing the ruin bars while we were in Budapest and we were really glad we decided on a private tour. Zolly was a great guide and took us to a bunch of really cool bars and to get really good langos. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn about the ruin bars and not just visit them.

Complete rip-off

Beth_S, Dec 2024

Zoltan was a fine tour guide. However, it was way too much money for what it was. We got a beer or a wine. One of my family members doesn’t drink beer or wine so I had to pay for a separate drink at each place. We then shared 3 langos between us. We wanted burgers. I estimated that they spent around 150 on the evening and it cost us 660. A complete rip-off. I would really like my money back.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Hi Beth, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sad to hear that you didn't like your Ruin Bar tour and that you feel you've been tricked out of your money. We do not offer burgers & cocktails on this tour because we believe that all our experiences should feature traditional Hungarian items so our guests can learn more abour our customs. However, we will definitely talk to your guide Zoltán and make sure he did his best to address your needs on the spot.

Great night out

Our guide Fanni was fantastic 👏 very informative, funny and interesting. We had a great evening visiting establishments that we definitely would never have discovered on our own! Thanks for a fabuoulous evening!

Best way to experience the Ruin Bars!

Ilene_P, Apr 2023

Simply the best way to explore the Ruin Bars! Our guide Ferenc was great in choosing three very different experiences for us, introduced us to local beers and provided a delicious snack. He was so easy to be with, informative and a great conversationalist. We highly enjoyed!

Excellent travel guide delivered exactly the experience we were hoping for
