Budapest at its best - Nelli knew how to show us Budapest from its best side. Food tour first in the market hall and then in the whole city. You could feel that she was welcome everywhere and you could try to your heart's content. She took us to places where tourists don't normally go, culturally, historically and culinary. And - what is very important - gypsy music is simply part of it. If you go to Budapest, then only with Nelli - her commitment and presence are simply great.

A great day trip from Budapest - I am not sure if this was the company through which we booked, but our guide Tamas was excellent door to door for 11 hours.
