Great Tour w/ Petra - We had a great time exploring the Buda Castle District with Petra. She was friendly, easygoing, and really knew her stuff. She shared lots of interesting history and stories without ever making it feel like a history lesson.
Petra kept the tour fun and relaxed, answered all of our questions, and pointed out things we definitely would have missed walking around on our own.
The Castle District is a beautiful part of Budapest and well worth seeing. Having Petra show us around made it even better.
Definitely recommend this tour, and Petra was fantastic!
