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.

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.
