Great tour for the first timer in Budapest - This is my first time in Budapest and the tour is perfect for knowing the city and learning its history. My guide Szofia is the best not only she is born and grows up here but she always has some story to tell you at each street/site/building/statue. It feels that the names, events, and stories are her own treasures. BTW, she knows every corner of the street and will get you to the right spot for photos. The tour includes lunch and boat trip. The Hungarian food is so good and I cannot even finish it! BTW, we ran into a very special military ceremony event at the Millennium park. Thank you Szofia for a very nice full day tour.

Simply Outstanding! - My husband and I thought this tour with Stephen as our driver/guide to be the best we've taken anywhere in the world!. Stephen was courteous, friendly, very knowledgeable and very professional. While providing background and history at each stop, he insured we had time to explore on our own and offered us plenty of time for photos. The tour included major sites in both Buda and Pest, lunch at a lovely restaurant, entrance fees to St. Mathias and a 1-hour boat tour on the Danube. This tour provided great value for the money and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to new travelers or seasoned veterans.

Fantastic tour with great guide! - Our tour guide Szofia was excellent. She was very knowledgeable about the beautiful city of Budapest and took her time to explain all the history and interesting facts about each aspect of the tour. Lunch was included and although my daughter is both vegetarian and has a gluten free diet, her needs were met and confirmed during the booking process. I can highly recommend this tour.

Great tour…great guide - This was a good day in the company of Thomas our guide for the day. Thomas is very knowledgeable and very straightforward in his delivery style with clear and good English. We had an interesting and full day. I did not like being asked to sign to say I was happy with everything and that it was as described as we were not getting dropped off at our hotel. We were happy but ended up paying 8250 HF (ripped off by taxi)…learning curve for what was not the first attempt. …still happy with tour and Thomas who made it for us
