The BEST tour! - Our tour turned out to be a private tour since no one else had booked on the same day! Ferenc was an amazing guide!! He was so patient when we wanted to stop at different stalls, he wanted us to see what WE wanted. He provided lots of interesting information about Hungarian Christmas traditions and foods. Such a friendly guy, we felt as though we’d known him for a long time. Before the tour ended he gave us recommendations for a ruin bar, where to get langos, and more! Couldn’t be happier with this tour!!!

Great guide! Great city! - I booked through Trip Masters and lucked out with Laszlo "Leslie" who truly shared his city with us. He knew so much history and nuanced detail of his culture. He invited us to meet his city through his eyes. We met him at the opera house and set out on foot for a few hours. He was so relatable, made us feel so comfortable. We felt like fast friends. I loved this walking tour mostly because guide was so great! Highly recommended.

With Fanni, perfect !!! - We booked this event and were very lucky that we were only allowed to do the tour for two with Fanni. So we had more time and all questions and requests were fulfilled. We had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. Afterwards, Fanni even sent me recipes. There really is no better way to do a tour. Thank you very much and we would definitely take fanni as our guide again.

Very good moment in Budapest - Our guide (Odea) was fantastic. We had a very good moment, visiting the 2 different Christmas markets with all their specialities, but also walking into the streets and discovering the buildings. Odea teaches us all the history of Hungary and Budapest in details. I strongly recommend this experience.

One of the best Christmas markets - My favorite holiday is Christmas. Everyone knows this about me. Which explains why one of my hobbies is to visit Christmas markets all over the world! What I loved about this tour is that it really helped me indulge in the Christmas vibe of Budapest - which i think is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve visited in Europe. I enjoyed seeing colorful lights, pretty ornaments, freshly prepared food and the aroma of it all just urges you to keep discovering new flavours. I highly encourage everyone to do this tour by Budapest Urban Walks!

What a Christmas experience - In every Christmas market, you will always find something unique. There are Christmas markets around the world but they all offer something that makes them stand out. The Budapest Christmas Market was a harmonious combination of all sorts: food, baked goods, beautiful decorations, gifts, small trinkets. I experienced all that because of this tour by Budapest Urban Walks and I am grateful! Would do this again with them, no doubt!
