Latest reviews from our guests

Richard took us around town as though we were visiting family. He made the history, [people and life of Hungry and Budapest come alive. He was patient with all our questions and genuinely interested in what we wished to learn rather than follow a scripted tour- can see why it is city 'unscripted'. Richard- thank you! You were amazing. Our 13 and 15 year old loved this as well and were touched by your stories and history. We certainly got to feel and experience the heart beat of this amazing city. THANK YOU!

What a spectacular way to experience Budapest! Richard was so knowledgable and he was so patient with all our questions. He navigated the tour on what we were interested in and what we were asking questions about. He was interested n what we wanted to learn about the city rather than just giving us a spell. He chatted to us about life, history and behind the scenes peaks of this amazing country of Hungry and city of Budapest. he made it all come alive, its people and culture so we felt a part of it. It was like being shown around town by your older brothers best friend. THANK YOU RICHARD! We had truely an amazing day!

Attila was a very good guide. He managed the tour to our requests and we saw some "off the beaten path" areas that really made the day !!

Balazs was a great guide. We covered lots of sites, the history and had plenty of steps to shelter from the sun. He also set me up perfectly for the rest of my stay, telling me about other places to visit and how to get there. Faultless.
