Great tour but no logical order - Easy to access tour and very informative. Only bad thing was it wasn't in a particular order and we were back and forth across Buda Castle. Would have been better in a consise order.

Interesting - Well made and simple to use audio guide. Many interesting information about the various monuments present. At the time of purchase it was not clear if the inputs were included and the information received was initially inaccurate. It is necessary to specify better that the visit of the interior of the castle and the church is not planned.

Not recommended: PB exhaust Audioguide - AUDIO GUIDE ACCESS PROBLEMS - Despite having followed the instructions to the letter and even after contacting via wapp Viator we were unable to access the audio guide. Viator did not solve the pb but only sent us back to TouringBee who only solved it after several hours when we had already finished our tour. NOT RECOMMENDED

Very very poor - This was not a good experience, we did manage ge to locate the starting point of Vienna Gate. Sign posts to the location were non existent. We tried thr link we were given to the app for help but it did not recognise our booking reference so we never .managed to use the walking audio guide. It was a waste of money!

Frustrating hot afternoon in Budapest - Took Uber to recommend starting point. Could not download the app needed for this self directed tour. It was 97 degree. After trying to make things work for 25 minutes we gave up and caught a bus back to our hotel. Total waste of time and money
