Great Tour - My tour of Budapest was great! My guide was very knowledgeable. She Provided a lot of details with specific facts and was shown hidden spots. My guide’s historical knowledge was impeccable. The lunch was delightful. And the boat ride was a great way to end the tour. I highly recommend this tour.

High energy and interesting tour!! - Zsofia (Sophia). Was a high energy positive personality and gave a great tour of Budapest. We spent the majority of time driving in her car to various places starting with Pest and then moving over to Budapest. She offered a detailed explanation at each site and gave us Hungarian lessons along the way. We stopped and walked at several locations including Heroes square and St Mathias church. You can tell she had done this for decades as she has a mental script of everything and continues to talk all through driving in the chaotic traffic in the city. Budapest has the most wonderful architecture and is an interesting mix of classic architecture from late 1800s/early 1900s along with communist era brutalist buildings in various stages of maintenance. As an American, the long history of the Hungarians and all the occupations such as the Romans, the Ottoman Turks, the Hapsburg dynasty, Austria Hungarian empire, the Nazis, the Soviets, the long period of communism and then the transition to capitalism is fascinating!! Zsofia is a true Hungarian and loves to talk about her country. Now is probably not for everyone as like I stated she is high energy and forward which would probably not work for some subdued, less adventurous Americans, but it worked for us!!

Enjoy the views and architecture. - There is a tremendous amount of walking (miles) of stairs and uneven surfaces. Well worth the trip with hundreds of years of history and folklore. Full day and ending at the Astronomical Clock which is not to be missed.
