Budapest in a nutshell - We enjoyed a fantastic introduction to Budapest with Kristina and Peter. We were picked up from our hotel in a very comfortable vehicle and managed to pop by many of the main attractions in the city. Christina has a wealth of historical knowledge making the tour so special. Thank you!

Review for Dora – Budapest Tour Guide - My experience with Dora in Budapest was absolutely outstanding. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems, and her passion for sharing that knowledge truly shines through. You can tell she has years of experience—every story she told felt authentic and engaging, and she knew how to make each stop come to life. Dora was also very personable and attentive, making sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and involved. She tailored the tour perfectly to our interests and answered every question with impressive detail. I left with a much deeper appreciation for Budapest thanks to her expertise and enthusiasm. If you’re visiting Budapest and want a guide who’s both professional and genuinely passionate about what she does, I can’t recommend Dora highly enough!

Enriching tour of Budapest. - We had a wonderful day touring Budapest with a friendly and very knowledgeable guide Kriszdina and friendly driver Rakan. Kriszdina is passionate about the vast history of Hungary and Budapest. We enjoyed visiting beautiful building and explanation of the architecture. Highly recommend both.

See review - Trip was very nice and gave you a very good view of Budapest and the sites. The trip was 3 hours on a tour bus with 3 stops. The second included a good amount of walking but wasn’t overly exerting. The tour was also not a huge group, only about a dozen people.. The guide Attila was very good and very knowledgeable and informative. He also spoke multiple languages. After the bus portion, there was a short walk to the boat ride. It was a very scenic ride on the Danube and was pleasant. The ride was less than an hour and was not with the guide from the bus so there was no narration from the boat operators, so while the sites were nice, if we had not had Attila’s very good information from the tour, we would not have known what most of the sites were. I would recommend any tour in Budapest with Attila as the guide, but the company was also good as the tour ran on time.

Would do it again! - Attila our guide was amazing. He speaks 6 languages, has a wonderful sense of humor, and is extremely knowledgeable about Hungarian, and other world history. Our group had 16 guests, including USA, Czech Republic, Israel, Australia, and Italy. I would recommend this tour to anyone in a minute, especially with Attila as the guide!

The country and places... - The country and places were beautiful. From my experience on previous tours I’ve been on, this one felt short. The guide’s job is to make everyone feel included, but as a solo traveler, I felt left out since the guide always gravitated toward the larger group.

Disappointing tour guide - Tour guide was not easy to understand and spoke too fast. Never gave updates on districts. Also there were two German speakers on the bus, who also spoke English along with the rest of the bus but unfortunately the majority of her narrative was in German and she focused all her time with one passenger. Also we had a stop at the Hilton in Buda and walked through and sat in the lounge where she had a long chat with the passenger mentioned above, which gave us very little time to walk around the castle grounds and no opportunity to take photos of the Danube and parliament building. When I asked for some time she said you can take photos from the bus???
