    Balazs was the ultimate tour guide. So passionate and knowledgeable about Budapest—the history, culture and current day events. I highly recommend him. He will go above and beyond to accommodate you. Thank you! Thank you!!

    Agnes tailored the tour to our liking, and went to a bookstore/cafe and gave us time within the Bohemian part of Budapest to explore. She knew a lot of historical context and was able to provide a local's perspective on the ruin bars, advent, and more. She was not offended when we chose to cut the tour a little short so we could have lunch by the church and walk the market.

    A 4 hr walking tour learning about history and seeing historical sights and city sights. Our guide got in touch with us before the tour to discuss our interests. We liked he did that.

    Richard was an amazing host. We had to work around a sore knee and he accommodated. Amazing experience so fun hitting the Ruin Bars and hearing the history. We had dinner at a traditional Hungarian restaurant that was delicious. So much knowledge.
