A beautiful way to see... - A beautiful way to see the entire city and other regions of Budapest. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. It is a bit of a hike to the top after the chairlift but it’s definitely worth it!!

I sent my son on this... - I sent my son on this chairlift experience. When he got to the meeting point, the guide was there but none of the other patrons. The guide, Victor, kindly offered to take my son around the city, free of charge and take him to a later chairlift with the 12:30 group. As my son was traveling alone, he accepted. He had nothing but wonderful things to say about Victor the guide. Victor showed him sights in the city he might not have seen otherwise. He told him history of Budapest and interesting facts. My son said the day could not have been better. The chairlift experience was top notch! Victor easily could have canceled my son's reservation or told him to come back at 12:30, but he went far out of his way on his own time. Unbelievable kindness! I wish there were more than just 5 stars. This experience made my son's stay in Budapest amazing!

Elizabeth Tower - This event was great! The guide provided great details about the meeting location and specifics to be aware of related to the booking prior to the event date. The chair lift was fun, and there's about a 10-minute walk after the top of the chair lift before you arrive at the Elizabeth Tower lookout point.

Heights looking over Budapest. - Fantastic little trip, from Budapest. Great views from the top, worth the steep walk, just take your time, if you have health conditions or struggle. Victor, our guide allowed as much time as needed, nice chat about things to know about the area. Well worth it.

Perfect end to an amazing city break - Absolutely breathtaking views and a beautiful experience. After a few busy days in the hustle and bustle of Budapest this excursion was a tranquil delight. Our guide Victor was a fountain of knowledge and very friendly. Definitely recommend the earlier time when it’s hot as the heat can be quite extreme. It is a bit of a hike for 10 minutes but take it nice and slow because it’s definitely worth the view from the top of the castle.
