Julia led a fantastic walking tour that showcased Budapest’s rich history and iconic spots. It was delightful to discover those charming little sculptures scattered throughout the city. Her stories about each landmark were both captivating and informative, making learning about Budapest a breeze. The pace was manageable, though it did start to wear on us after two hours. She also introduced us to the city’s public transport, including the bus and the adorable yellow subway. I believe the fare was included, but I might have overlooked that in the tour details. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

A good first day overview of Budapest. Enjoyed walking around the sites. We took the subway to the other side of the river and this made later navigating the public transportation system must easier. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and interesting.
