An amazing tour of most of the highlights of Budapest in about 4.5 hours. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable offering a lot of linsights about life in Budapest. I would have liked shoes on the Danube included in the tour as it was fairly close to the Parliament Buildings. Balint the tour guide was fantastic.

The walking tour was fabulous! Esther (our guide) shared a fountain of historical knowledge and was very caring. Experiencing rides on the different types of transport added to the experience. The strudel stop was extra special. Esther made sure we had a table booked and we had share plates of the different savoury/sweet strudels along with coffee or tea.

This tour was well worth it. Small group made it more pleasant to navigate the city. We were able experience taking the subway and bus to see the sights. Greg was full of knowledge from architecture, history and culture. The pit stop of strudel and a drink was super yummy and a welcome rest. Highly recommend Absolute Tours with Greg.

Lucky to have the guide with just the two of us. First rate experience with an extremely knowledgeable and personable guide. Really enjoyed the pace and using public transportation. Strudel stop was perfect break.

What an amazing tour! Our guide Esther was absolutely the best—so knowledgeable about the culture and history. She made sure everyone in the group was comfortable and went above and beyond by making sure we knew how to get back and where to find the best places to eat. Truly unforgettable!

Louisa was an incredible tour guide. We had only two other people in our group (a mother and daughter), so had plenty of opportunity to ask questions and really learn about the amazing city. We hit all the high points and also came away with a list of places we wanted to come back to the next day to explore in more depth. The strudel was OUTSTANDING (I'm still thinking about it!)
