Gabor was, excellent!! He... - Gabor was, excellent!! He was very knowledgeable and really listened to what we were interested in and tailored our tour to make sure we saw and learned so much. He was very organized and efficient with our time. At no point did we ever feel rushed, but what we got to see and do far exceeded our expectations for a half-day tour. Would highly recommend!!

3 great, entertaining and interesting hours with Tiberiu and a little more - highly recommended!! - We met Tiberiu at Heroes' Square and were greeted very nicely with Budapest specialties. Then the tour began: very interesting and informative, much easier thanks to his perfect German. We then worked our way towards the parliament, always hearing new and interesting information and conversations, which also gave us small insights into Hungarian society and everyday life. It was dark by now, but that didn't spoil the whole thing: a very special atmosphere emanated from the illuminated buildings! We then took the bus to Buda Castle. Here we were pretty much alone and had a phenomenal view of the whole illuminated city. Tiberiu knows his way around really well and told us everything we needed to know. We were very happy that he accepted our invitation to a final dinner, we ended up in a very tasty vegan restaurant: a new experience for all of us. All in all, a very successful tour: far too short 3 hours with a very friendly guide in a great city - we would gladly do it again anytime

Great learning experience! - We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Andras. He is knowledgeable, genuine, and very accommodating to our interests. It’s a very comfortable 3 hour walk and learning experience so we feel to much closer to the city of Budapest. This is the kind of experience that makes us want to come back!

Good experience but guide needs to take control of content - Obviously fact finding, history of Budapest. It was great to have a small group. However, the guide didn’t take control. He kept saying it’s up to us. We’re not the experts though. Sometimes was difficult to understand.
