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.

Lorinc was a wonderful guide. He listened to us and what our interests were, and tailored our experience accordingly. We never felt rushed, and he spent plenty of time explaining not only food information but local history. We would happily go on another tour with him.

It was so fun and educational to tour Pest with Angie. She made history come alive for us! We would highly recommend her.
