Our guide, Greg, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Budapest, its history, the Hungarian people, the culture. He took the time to answer all of our questions and made the time fly by. We enjoyed learning & laughing over delicious strudels/coffee at a local restaurant, as well as throughout this walking tour. Would highly recommend this tour & Greg the tour guide!!

An intimate and enriching way to discover Budapest, thanks to Andi’s patient, pedagogical approach and her ability to adapt the tour to my needs, along with valuable local insights.

What a fantastic tour. Bellagio, our guide and that’s not how his Hungarian name is spelled; however he said it’s pronounced like that, was a charm and very knowledgeable, and hilarious. We had a small group of 7 which was nice. I’m glad I did this tour since I got to see a good portion of the landmarks and learn so much history about them. Someone commented in these reviews that they didn’t care for the strudel shop. I strongly disagree. Nice location and in a back room only for us. Great strudels and company with the other tourists. All of it was great! Do it!!! Also, we took the subway and busses to get to further places. The tour guide took care of everything with tickets.

Luisa was a fabulous guide, very knowledgeable, gave you the detail and then you could ask more questions if you wanted to go deeper. The strudel was a great time to sit and recharge before the next part of the tour.

Wonderful tour. Our tour guide was Petra and she was very knowledgeable. We took our time in each area and the amount of walking was not that bad as we used public transportation to reach farther distances. Would highly recommend
