Lovely afternoon in Budapest - Bridget was delightful. We gave her a real challenge as we had separately booked tours of most of what she normally shows people. But she rose to the occasion and gave us a more in-depth visit to places not already on our schedule. We had a very enjoyable afternoon.

Heartfelt, Insightful, and So Memorable - We had the most amazing experience with Anita from Budapest Locals! As a travel advisor, I’m always on the lookout for passionate, knowledgeable guides—and Anita exceeded every expectation. I came in knowing very little about Hungary, but left with a deeper understanding and a real curiosity to keep learning (I'm halfway through The Invisible Bridge based on her recommendation!). Anita shared Budapest’s history and culture with honesty and heart—covering the beautiful, the complex, and everything in between. She was also incredibly thoughtful about our mobility needs, checking in often and adjusting the pace without ever making us feel rushed. She went above and beyond, even following up with local recipes I can't wait to try. It felt less like a tour and more like spending the day with a local friend. I’ll absolutely be booking my clients with Budapest Locals in the future—they're in great hands with Anita!

Budapest Locals - We took the private tour with Anita from Budapest Locals. She was fantastic. She took us to see all the spots and we concentrated on the Pest side for our tour today so we could take our time and learn about each site in depth. Highly recommended!!!

A Must-Do Tour! - Anita was our tour guide and she was so amazing! She met us at our hotel because we were running behind and then we proceeded to walk all over the Pest side, with her also pointing out some good things to see on the Buda side later. Anita brought a paper map of Budapest with her and wrote down dinner recommendations, sites, logistics, and more. We only had two days in Budapest so this helped us immensely in making sure we got the most out of it. Definitely take part in this tour if you have the time, and I would recommend doing it on the first day you're there. Well worth the money!
