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!
