More than a tour - Zsuzsa was so bright and knowledgeable. We talked about history, art, architecture, language and politics. Our trip to Budapest would not have been the same without this very special 3 hours we spent together. We saw layers of history and atmosphere that were hidden in plain site. It was so much more than just a tour of buildings. We can't recommend this experience highly enough.

Fascinating tours - I booked back to back tours - this one and Communist Budapest - with Kata as my guide. What a fabulous guide Kata is. She basically spoke for about seven hours straight - Kata was engaging, all of it was interesting, she never seemed to tire and I think I would have happily kept listening to her for the remainder of my time in Budapest. Very impressed.

Engaging tour of hidden gems in Budapest - We really enjoyed our tour with our guide, Kata! She was so knowledgeable about the architecture and history in Budapest. We really liked this tour because we got off of the beaten path and found some incredible architecture hidden in buildings we never would have seen on our own. Worth every penny!

Peacocks, sunflowers and Miss Arizona - A super snapshot of Art Nouveau in Budapest - Kata gave us a wonderful tour of the city. From the worker bees and the bee hives to the carnations, roses, forget-me-nots and tulips she had a fabulous depth of knowledge about the history of the city, the architects, designers and all the wonderful buildings we saw. She was so generous with her time and gave us good advice and tips on other places to visit. We highly recommend this tour. Thanks again Kata

Highest recommendation - Insight Cities is the best. My guide Kata's love of the topic just shone. She was so incredibly informative. And not just about art and architecture. She shared information about the city of Budapest, history, and politics. I had a great time and didn't want the tour to end.

An architecture tour to remember - We love architecture and took the Budapest Art Nouveau tour to get an in-depth look at some graet urban palaces. The tour was an absolute highlight of our trip to Europe. Just a dream to see the outside and the inside of the Postal Bank and Greshem Palace with a warm and informative guide like Kata. The biggest surprise to us was Budapest's stunning synagogue in art nouveau. I can only recommend it!

Amazing private tour - We set up our private Budapest Introduction tour with Insight Cities for our first day in Budapest and it was a treat. Our guide Andras was amazing. We learned an astonishing amount from him about the city's sites and history. We enjoyed his lively personality and attention to our special interests. It was the perfect way to land in a new city.
