Best tour of Budapest - This tour was amazing! Our guide Ferenc customized the tour for us to add somethings that we requested and avoid places we had been. He was knowledgeable, interesting and genuinely cared about whether we were enjoying the tour. Lunch was delicious. We learned background and facts we would have never known walking around on our own. I highly recommend this tour.

Great tour with the best tour guide. - We had absolutely great time with Ferenc while walking through streets of Budapest. Ferenc has in-depth knowledge about Hungarian city. He kept us comfortable all along and had organised the program which suited us the best. The lunch is sumptuous and delicious. If opportunity given, we would be happy to do another tour with Ferenc.

Outstanding Tour, wow! - This was a great experience! I'll start with a shout out to our tour guide Rebecca who was simply amazing, super knowledgeable, and with a great sense of humor. She knows her history and architecture! We really lucked out as we were the only two on the day tour we had booked, so we pretty much had her all to ourselves and she was totally up for conversation and all of our questions. Lunch at a local restaurant was included and it was outstanding! One thing to note, this is a full day 7 hour walking tour. The terrain is not difficult and you'll cover just about everything but I'll be honest, it's a long day!

101 things you have to do - The guide went out of his way to show me all the things I was interested in seeing. He even stayed with me and helped me in a shop with my mobile phone in a shop after the tour. He spent an hour or two with me after the tour time was up

Budapest walking tour - Our tour guide Fanny was excellent and took us all over town. By the time we finished we had a great foundation on the entire country of Hungary and Budapest. This tour is highly recommended for those that can handle a significant amount of walking.

Great tour lead by an exceptional guide. - This tour was one of the best tours to see Budapest. Fanni, our tour guide was exceptional in all ways. Extremely knowledge and well educated about the city’s history.
This was an all day walking tour which took us to both sides of the river covering all the important neighborhoods, monuments and castles. Fanni’s English is impeccable and she was able to answer all of our questions using historical maps etc. on her iPad to demonstrate the historical significance of each location. She was polite, friendly and personable. I would highly recommend requesting Fanni as your tour guide to explore the beautiful Budapest.
