They have everything, professional guides and amenities. - Our guide Sandra, made us a very pleasant tour, with many anecdotes and images that she had documented. You can tell that she likes her job, as she is a great professional and has many years of experience. Congratulations Sandra!!!

Friendly and fun, several Free Tour with them and all great - We did two free tours today, the imperial and Buda Castle, both with Sandra and we are very happy. This is our first time on a Free tour, it hasn’t seemed enjoyable, we have learned a lot of history from Budapest, and we have also laughed a lot. We were with two little ones and the 5-year-old has been attentive to everything Sandra told and loved it too. Tomorrow we'll do the Jewish Quarter. Thank you!!!

Essential if you want to understand part of the 20th century history of Budapest - A luxury tour: historical context and comparison with the present, a lot of rigor and anecdotes. Luz added some extra during the visit. Highly recommended. In the afternoon we finished the day with a visit to the Museum of Terror.
