Good tour. Gladly again - Was a very nice tour. We liked it very much. There was a lot of background information and it was much better than expected. We would rebook a tour like this for any other city in the world

Exciting street Art & Ruin Bar - Our guide Victoria was originally from England but has lived here for over 25 years. .was a really interesting tour with a fabulous insight into the street murals & other art, many of which you would miss if just wandering around. Lots of interesting facts about life living in Hungary today. Worthwhile tour even if not that interested in art purely to appreciate how high the standard of living in UK is compared to Hungary & what life was like post communism & pandemic. Victoria was happy to share her personal experiences. Ended in famous ruin bar but shown the others too. A little tour and history of the ruin bars was given too which really made it special as we stayed for a drink after the tour. Well above expectations & highly recommended. An absolute must do whilst in Budapest

Budapest mit anderen Augen sehen - It was a very pleasant experience. We learned a lot by listening to the stories each street art object has to tell. It was very informative and we saw a part of daily live in Budapest we didn’t know before. Highly recommendable.

Excellent - Absolutely amazing. Victoria is so knowledgeable. Both myself and my 16 year old son loved it. It is amazing what you can find when you know where to look. We learned so much about Hungary in those couple of hours. There is such a thin line between the past and the present. We also thought that ‘recycling day’ is such a good idea. Ask your tour guide about it. 😊

Just excellent - Absolutely fantastic. Both myself and my 16 year old son loved it. Our tour guide Victoria was amazing, so knowledgeable. It’s amazing what you can find when you know where to look. We learnt so much about Hungary in those couple of hours. History and present are so thinly connected. In addition, we have found ‘recycling day’ such a good idea. We will leave it up to you to ask your tour guide about it.

Fun and informative! - Alexandria was fantastic! I really liked that she showed us corporate commissioned street art as well as graffiti. She also helped us understand more about Budapest and the Hungarian people and what they’ve been through. I definitely recommend this tour!

A different way to explore history and culture - This was so much more than I expected. Victoria has an amazing knowledge of history and blends this with links to Hungarian culture of today. A must do if you are looking for something different.
