Excellent tour with a very knowledgeable guide. Group size was just right and there was no way I would have found out the information about the places without doing this type of tour. Length of tour was just right with mix of walking and public transport. I thought it was really good value for money

Everytime we visit a new city/country, we love booking a walking tour of the primary area we will largely be staying in order to learn the history and orient ourselves. This was one of the best walking tours we have ever done. Esther was amazing. She was organized, kept the tour moving, and we covered a LOT of ground with the help of the subway/metro and the bus public transportation system. You get to see Buda, as well as Pest, learn a lot about the origins to under the Soviet Union to present day, and eat delicious strudel - what's not to like? Highly recommend if it's your first time in Budapest.

Delightfully fun as well as informative tour of Budapest highlights. Tour guide was friendly and answered all our questions Enjoyed the small group format. The strudel shop was delightful and we tried a variety of flavors! The sites are viewed from the outside, no inside admissions are included, but metro rides are included. I highly recommend this tour’

Lots of history, and walking. The strudel restaurant was very good and a nice break. Petra was very informative and interesting. Got to see sites in both Buda and Pest.

What an amazing guide Anna is! We have the pleasure of being in her tour today and she was patient, friendly, and so knowledgeable! We loved the tour and the strudel stop was fantastic! It’s in a shop where you can watch them make strudel and warm up on a cold day and today was very very cold. This is a great intro tour - highly recommend at the beginning of your trip!

Greg was very knowledgeable about the city with great suggestions for everything! We adore his energy and it was an amazing start as we explored the city! The tour is well-structured with lots of landmarks covered. The walking was very manageable with sufficient time for pictures while Greg explained the history. Highly recommended!
