Great and engaging overview of Hungarian history, architecture, and events. Considerate route for participants balancing sights, information, and accessibility.

Our tour guy was very pleasant and knowledgeable which was important so we’ve learned a lot about the Hungarian’s rich history. He also helped us to find the best local food with reasonable costs and routes around town!

Great tour! I had done 3 different tours on 3 different days. This one was on the last day and filled in the blanks of the other tours. Focused on Pest and contemporary and city issues as well as giving historical background. The leader was a history lecturer at a local university and was very frank and informative.

Wow! Truly an incredible tour. We hit all of the main points (within walkable distance) and learned so much about Budapest’s rich history. He also provided some local recommendations for tourists when trying to navigate such a large city (food stops, public transit, etc) and was happy to field any questions we had along the way. This was one of the best walking tours I’ve been on. I would be fortunate to have a guide like him on any tour I do in any city. This is certainly a walk-heavy tour (probably covering 3-4km) so keep that in mind when booking. We also had to take stairs a few times throughout the experience.

Atilla was very informative and this was a great first day experience to get the lay of Pest. It’s amazing how much of the city you can experience in short amount of time. We now know which parts of the city we want to explore more.
