The tour was amazing. Our Guide Balazs was very knowledgeable, and really customized the tour based on our interests. If you have a short trip to Budapest planned and want an impactful experience go with this tour. Highly recommended! Only downside was on our confirmation the meeting place was different then that given to the guide. So make sure you connect with guide before your tour starts.

Angie is such an amazing tour guide. She took time to learn what interested me and tailored the tour to be just right. She offered options to local cuisine and we basically walked throughout Budapest. I loved it and learned so much!

Private tours by a local are souch better than a group tour. Krisztian really tailored the tour to our interests. He was engaging and quite friendly. He even helped us take some photos at the different sight. He also shared some of the hidden gems of Budapest.
