BloodThirsty Hungary – Castle District Tour with Joe - We had the pleasure of experiencing this impressive tour on Friday the 13th – an unforgettable evening! Joe has presented the historical narratives about the defense of Hungary and the origin of the Dracula myth with extraordinary passion and depth. His performance was a real highlight culturally and in terms of content – like an open-air play in original locations. Each story seemed alive and authentic. You could feel that not only facts were conveyed here, but a real experience was created. Even a price twice as high would still be justified for this quality. Joe, you did a really great job – thank you for this special evening!

An all around incredible time, smooth and accessible, no faults :) - Just finished this tour with Joe about an hour ago and it was amazing. Joe was very knowledgeable and was able to explain that knowledge in a smooth and understandable way. He also took the time to make sure everyone was comfortable, finding places to sit and even offering am umbrella when it started to rain. Joe was also absolutely lovely to talk to, very personable and again presented all his facts and information incredibly well. Would highly recommend.

Highly recommended tour from 2 US tourists - Joe was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories and insights about Budapest’s past and present that really brought the city to life. Not only was he well-informed, but also genuinely friendly and approachable. He created a relaxed atmosphere, making it easy for everyone in the group to engage, ask questions, and feel included.
