Balazs was a terrific guide! He was on time meeting us at our hotel and showed us the jewish quarter and parts of Budapest we had not already seen. He was knowledgeable and kept the tour upbeat.

My wife and I were very pleased with Krisztian’s guided tour of Budapest. He set the tour event in motion with an advanced welcoming introductory text. He was waiting for us at the meeting point of the walking tour. He asked for our tour expectations and our desired pace. He was super friendly, easy to converse with and very knowledgeable of the area history. We highly recommend Krisztian for private walking tours.

We found hiring a private tour on the first day of our trip is very informative. A good tour guide sets the pace for the entire trip. Our guide Krysztian from City Unscripted exceeded our ecpectations

I enjoyed the three-hour private tour with Julia. She was very knowledgeable and easy to chat with. She was also flexible with what we covered over that time. A great way to get to know the city.
