Well worth it! - Great tour guide, very knowledgeable! Also, a great overview of the city of Budapest. Would have liked to see a little more of the Buda side.

Budapest trip - We were with 4 other people on a small coach which was very comfortable. The driver was excellent with his knowledge, information and the places he took us to. I would recommend this trip as we were able to go up to the palace etc in the mini bus otherwise you have to walk up. On time excellent service.

Fab city tour - Fab trip, very informative with 2 great guides. Really useful when you arrive in a city to find your way around, a bit confusing as everyone else was having a tour of the parliament building but that wasn’t an option when I booked ours ?

Awesome guide on a safe informative tour - The tour was excellent and touched all the main attractions we wanted to see. Our only regret was not booking the additional parliament tour. This tour stops at the parliament and you can take photos from outside, but the inside tour is separate. Our driver, Zsolt, was a very safe and cautious driver that kept us on time. Our guide, Anna, was the best. Her narration was not only informative but she had a great sense of humor and shared funny stories and jokes. Not sure if you can request a specific driver, but if so, I recommend Anna.

A great 4 day trip to Budapest - Really beautiful architecture in Budapest. The Hop on Hop off bus is worth doing for a fast orientation and lots of information. Certainly the night time boat trip on the Danube is a must to see the beautiful buildings enhanced by all the lights. I would recommend doing some walking around the city especially around the smaller streets. Lots of nice places to eat at reasonable prices.

Best tour in BUdapest with Eszter! - This was the best tour I had in Budapest! The tour guide Eszter was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and punctual. She made sure we got to see everything and gave us free time in the Castle area. I highly recommend this tour company. If you are looking to see Budapest and understand the history, this is a must. Ask for Eszter!

Mini bus tour of city - In theory, it's an ideal way to see the sites of the city. However, the vehicle was cramped, fast, and not a lot of photo opportunities. The guide was clear and knowledgeable, but I wouldn't say it was worth the fee in all honesty. The communication from the company was top class as they had to change the date due to the national holiday in Hungary.

Good, not great - You get a decent overview of the city, and it’s great to be on an air conditioned bus in the summer. It was a bit of information overload, but I understand most people want that. I wish the tour description mentioned that you get off the bus and walk around three times - once at Fisherman’s Bastion for 60 minutes, once at Heroes’ Square for 30 minutes, and finally at the end of the tour at the Hungarian Parliament for 30 minutes. The description should also mention it’s a brisk 5 block walk to get to the Hungarian Parliament. We were traveling with one older person, and that brisk walk at peak daytime heat was a bit much for her. Decent tour nonetheless.

Average, somewhat disappointing - Our tour guide seemed rushed throughout. She spoke fast, very softly, no microphone or whispers, and her English was heavily accented. We understood about half of what she said. She walked very fast, not a sightseeing pace. She did not invite questions. We were left at the Parliament, not at the office where we started the tour. This was not explained beforehand, so we walked much further to get back to our hotel.

Should be giving some discount for missed pre-booked tour - We have booked this tour in advance but my son was down with Viral going on in budapest. On the day of tour in morning also i have left message to tour operator that we can't make it and if they can re-schedule us or books us in some private tour ( we will pay the difference). One of their operator says yes this can be done and asked for wait till couple of hrs. They booked me to other private tour with full price and didn't give any discount/adjustment for the ~126 $ which was pre-paid. Our reason was not a lame excuse but genuine one and i have doctor record to share also.
