Great Introduction to The Danube - Not sure if others cancelled but my husband & I had our guide all to ourselves! We saw all the key locations on castle hill and our guide explained everything to a T. It was a long time ago (May 2018) and I can’t remember our guide’s name. But she was outstanding. It was a great introduction to Budapest and a great pre-cruise day!

Fantastic! - We had an excellent tour with Ferenc. In addition to showing us the sights in the castle district, his knowledge of Hungarian history and the background he provided on the area enhanced our overall experience. We highly recommend this tour.

Great tour, excellent guide. - Karoly was an excellent guide. He was extremely well informed and gave us a fantastic tour. It’s well worth using a guide as you get so much more out of your visit. He gave us good tips for places to see and eat during our weekend.

Still visiting him in the usual way due to the official visit of a senior leader, the tar - Even with the inconvenience of not being able to visit it in the usual way due to the official visit of a senior leader, the afternoon was magnificent. When there is little time and a lot to see, I consider it a great advantage to turn to this group of professionals. Detailed and entertaining explanations. I will keep them in mind for future trips.

Great views from the top of Buda - Our guide Fanni was very knowledgeable and did a great job on our tour. It was a relaxed pace and we were fortunate to observe the cherry blossoms. The cake shop was yummy. Fanni picked us up at our boat and got us back after a fact filled tour.
