Balazs was a terrific guide giving us a great orientation to his city and taking us to all the places we requested. Very knowledgable and helpful showing us also how to use the public transit system for our next few days in Budapest.

We highly recommend booking a private tour! Not only does your tour guide have extensive knowledge of the history and culture of the city, but you’ll now have a contact on the ground who can provide information and insights that you just won’t find in travel guides or brochures. Our tour guide, Angies was terrific! She not only knows the city but loves this city! We learned so much about Budapest from her! And she was a joy to be with! I highly recommend this tour!
