Great orientation to Budapest and Hungary - Excellent orientation to Budapest from a local historian. Alexia was a fabulous guide with insight into all of the main sights. Highly recommend her. She was flexible to our walking limitations. Alexia shared her country’s culture and educated us about Hungary.

Private tour that covered all the spots in one day - Our tour guide Alexandra was very knowledgeable with Budapest’s history. This 7 hour walking tour was not tiring at all. We made use of the city’s extensive transportation system. The tour was private. We covered all the spots in one day.

The tour and Zoli are a must if visiting Budapest. - Zoli was our guide for the day - would highly recommend that anyone doing this tour asks for him. Very knowledgeable not just of the history of Budapest but also of Hungary. Very easy to listen to and had a good sense of humour plus also being good company for the day. Got to see all the major sights and the information was to a level that prompted good interaction between us.
The tour and Zoli are a must if visiting Budapest.

Lovely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Budapest Experience - Our tour guide , Alexandra. was Exceptionally knowledgeable , kind & professional. She made this tour a memorable experience!
In one day we not just covered both Buda as well as Pest and but also got to know a lot about its history, architecture, heritage and culture.
Thanks to both Alexandra and a very smooth ride possible by our driver Mr. Thomas .
Would highly recommend the tour with both to our friends and family and fellow travelers.

Outstanding Tour Guide in Budapest - Outstanding tour. Our tour guide Zoli was fantastic. We have done many tours in other European cities and this was by far top 3. Zoli had so much knowledge to share and made the tour fun and not just dry facts.
