Fantastic tour! - The walking tour with Karol was fantastic! He asked us right at the beginning what we were most interested in hearing about, and tailored the information to our preferences. The sites themselves are "must-sees", the beauty and splendor of the architecture alone is breathtaking. Walking the streets of Buda is like stepping back in time. Karol was friendly and knowledgeable, and made this tour a real highlight on our trip to Budapest.

great guide and great tour - Our tour guide, Daniel was very knowledgeable and a great partner to walk around with. He suited the tour for our needs and talked more about the history and medieval times in Hungary, as we were interested in. The tour included a stop at a local Cafe where we tried a Hungarian cake and a coffee. We were well tired by the end of the tour and took a taxi back to the hotel from the fishermen's bastion. This was definitely what we were looking for.

Great tour focused on our needs. - This was the first tour we took upon our arrival to Budapest. Our tour guide, Judith, met us at our hotel and showed us how to use the public transportation system (so useful). The tour was a wonderful overview of the important sights to be seen in Budapest. Lastly, she took us to the Market Place and indicated which food stand sold an authentic Hungarian meal. She also pointed out some exclusive Hungarian items in the Market.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour! - Our guide Danny was personable and very knowledgeable. The Royal Palace, Matthias Church and Fishermans Bastion were impressive on their own, and there were spectacular views of the Pest side of the city. There was a lot of territory to cover and Danny was very patient with me because I was not moving well. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Private walking tour - We had such a wonderful private tour of Budapest with Sabor. He was so knowledgeable sharing all the history of Budapest. It was such a relaxed calm way of exploring all over. Sabor was was very friendly and easy to chat with. We especially enjoyed our coffee and traditional pastry in a wee out of the way coffee shop with him.

Great tour guide makes a difference - The tour itself was fine but we had not realized that so much of the “castle” was just remnants of former castles that are being rebuilt or were turned into other things. What we really liked was out your guide, Denye (spelling?). He was extremely engaging and had interesting stories about everything we saw. He even brought us into a grocery store to give us a primer on paprika and Hungarian wine and spirits. He made what could have just been an average tour a very good one.

Awesome tour of Buda castle - Laszlo was an excellent tour guide! He gave a wonderful tour of the Buda castle complex to our family of four. His commentary was lively and interesting. Highly recommend this private tour for an in depth tour of the Buda side of Budapest. The entire tour is a walking tour, no transportation is needed or provided.

Okay - It was adequate but nothing special. Our guide was hard to understand which may have been a combination of her inability to project her voice and her accent. Not sure it was worth the price we paid.
