Experience Budapest
Beyond the Guidebooks

This was a wonderful experience with the short amount of time we had. Our guide was a wrath of information. We learned so much about Budapest culture, politics and the city. I would definitely. Book a tour with our guide on my return. Perfect English.

Nos tuvo paciencia para explicar cada detalle y a la vez nos mostró todo lo más importante, nos hizo muy agradable la visita sin duda alguna. Muy recomendable, y quedamos muy agradecidos con el.

Amazing tour with Balazs! His indepth knowledge of Budapest- the city, people, history and architecture was a highlight of our visit to Budapest. I would highly recommend!

Balazs was terrific! A wealth of information and very personable. He was patient with our myriad of questions and painted an incredible, easy to understand history of Hungary with a broad brush that ties everything together.

Krisztian was a great guide. He knew so much about the history as well as everything current, and wnjoyed making conversation. He introduced us to good food and drink, and really helped make our short visit to Budapest eventful. At the end of our tour, he even took time to help get us into a busy restaurant so we could continue our night. He showed us some amazing views and we got many excellent photos!

Great tour,, tried a wide range of foods and Kristian showed us neighborhoods we wouldn't otherwise have seen.

Krisztian Wimmer is an excellent tour guide. Born and loves locally to Budapest he was fullnof historical knowledge & was so much fun to spend an afternoon with. We cant recommend him highly enough. Thank you Krisztian for all of your knowledge, company and fun spirit. Hope we can come back & see you again soon!

Kristzian met us at our hotel. After asking us what we were interested in doing, he decided that a tour of the Food Market was what we would do. As we walked to the market, he told us about the history of the area we were in. At the market, we toured the first floor filled with local foods and alcohol. On the second floor, we decided to try some traditional Hungarian dishes that were very good. We left the market and traveled by public transportation to a pastry shop where we had pastry and lemonade. We concluded the tour with Kristzian sharing additional information about his city.

Richard set a pace that was comfortable for us. We started with the Jewish corner then did a large circle back to our hotel. He also took us to a great street that had many Hungarian food options. We saw the many highlights that are part of the Pest side of Budapest. He gave us great suggestions for seeing the other side.

Every place we visited had so much history and our tour guide, Richard, shared such valuable information about each one. It was a great experience to be guided by a local and we highly recommend this walking tour to learn about the highlights so you can then explore based on your interests. The visit to the market and the Parliament were my favorites.

Richard was flexible, informative, and entertaining as he lead eight of us on a 4 hour private tour. We had proposed an ambitious tour through the Jewish Quarters to City Park and back. However, as we approached City Park and began to flag, he adjusted our plan so that instead of walking back to the hotel we took the underground, which he had told use we should experience, back to city center and closer to our Hotel. Our party peppered Richard with questions and discussions about how Budapest compared to other cities, the origins of the Hungarian language and the Ottoman influences on Budapest. As a history teacher Richard kept the conversation going with interesting insights. We had a physicist amongst use who was ecstatic to hear that Edward Teller went to High School nearby and oohed and awed over the plague on the school listing other Noble laureate scientists who attended the school. Richard knew all the names and the history of the school and scientists. As usual with Viator, arranging the tour, communicating with Richard before hand to customize the tour and meeting up with and being dropped off at the hotel went smoothly and easily.

Lorinc is a great tour guide and is knowledge about Hungarian and international history. It was a small and private tour with only our family. We had more of a conversational discussion rather than with a typical tour. It focused toward our questions and interests. Lorinc recommended good local foods and restaurants. It was a very enjoyable experience. Thank you.

Lorinc was a wonderful guide. He listened to us and what our interests were, and tailored our experience accordingly. We never felt rushed, and he spent plenty of time explaining not only food information but local history. We would happily go on another tour with him.

La verdad que es una maravilla muy grande y vistoso, puedes encontrar de todo. Cómodo y turístico. No le faltan detalles a ninguna parada sin duda es uno de los lugares que hay que visitar sin falta, estamos encantados de haberlo visitado. The truth is that it's a very large and colorful wonder, where you can find everything. Comfortable and touristy. No stop lacks details; it's definitely one of the places you must visit. We're delighted to have visited it.

We had a delightful experience exploring Budapest and tasting some typical dishes. He was interesting and so knowledgeable. He was very interested in making sure we had the experience we expected, and made sure to pace our tour in a way that worked for everyone. We would happily have him guide us again!

Ange was incredibly knowledgeable and flexible with respect to our interests. Great experience!

We enjoyed our time with Angie and the excellent tour.

It was a great walking tour as it was tailored specifically to our needs. Ange Sandorfi was very knowledgeable and an experienced guide and spoke very good English. We saw so much of Budapest that we would not have seen if we hadn't take this tour. I highly recommend this tour.

Angie was very informed on history, she walk to many areas that you would not have seen with out her showing you. Took us to areas that we asked to see.

Agnes was an exceptional tour guide. She was knowledgeable and built the tour to our preferences, which we gave via a survey ahead of meeting her.

Agnes was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable of the history and current status of Buda/Pest and Hungary as a whole. She tailored the tour to what we wanted to see, which was Pest side only, and covered it all in the 4 hours we reserved. We recommend requesting Agnes and will seek her out when we return to explore the Buda side.

This was a well-led walk through some of Budapest’s lively neighborhoods. Guide Agnes quickly adapted her plans to match up with my interests, making it a very personalized experience. We sampled food, discussed local art, culture and history, and all in a relaxed way. This is a great way to experience a city for the first time.

I was pleased with how quickly Agnes got acquainted with me so she could craft a unique and personally valuable tour of essential highlights —not just with food but with visual arts, historical background and things unique to Budapest. It was a relaxing and tasty way to experience a lot of the city in a short time.

He really cared what we wanted to say. He was very knowledgeable on the history of Budapest and my husband really enjoyed that. If you’re in Budapest, I would highly recommend you do it tour with Sandro.

Sandor was a great walking tour guide. He was accommodating with my itinerary and provided helpful tips and routes for the day.

We literally only had 5 hours so rather than wonder round on our own not really know where we were going or looking at we decided to do the tour. So glad we did. We got to see what we needed, understood what it was, got to ask questions and chat about other things and best of all it was just us, no large groups of others. Would definitely recommend. Our guide Sándor was very knowledgeable.

Very nice tour and he took us to a fantastic strudel shop!

Maria was a fantastic host, very friendly and considerate and very accommodating. She was really eager to show us as much as possible, and also happy to go at our own pace and ready to help us with anything we needed. Like having an old friend in the city to take you around!

Attila was a very good guide. He managed the tour to our requests and we saw some "off the beaten path" areas that really made the day !!
