Highly Recommended!! Ask for Angies When Visiting Budapest!! - We highly recommend booking a private tour! Not only does your tour guide have extensive knowledge of the history and culture of the city, but you’ll now have a contact on the ground who can provide information and insights that you just won’t find in travel guides or brochures. Our tour guide, Angies was terrific! She not only knows the city but loves this city! We learned so much about Budapest from her! And she was a joy to be with! I highly recommend this tour!

Made the most of 1 day in Budapest! - My walking tour with Agnes exceeded my expectations. It was a great balance between history, culture, and her own experiences, which is what I indicated my preference was. She was thoughtful about making the most of my time because I was only in Budapest for one day. Overall, it was a great introduction to the city and I was able to see and experience more than I ever could have on my own. I would absolutely recommend Agnes to anyone looking for a personalized tour!

Amazing private walking tour - The tour was amazing. Our Guide Balazs was very knowledgeable, and really customized the tour based on our interests. If you have a short trip to Budapest planned and want an impactful experience go with this tour. Highly recommended! Only downside was on our confirmation the meeting place was different then that given to the guide. So make sure you connect with guide before your tour starts.

Book a private tour guide - Private tours by a local are souch better than a group tour. Krisztian really tailored the tour to our interests. He was engaging and quite friendly. He even helped us take some photos at the different sight. He also shared some of the hidden gems of Budapest.
