Szücs F.

Sparty - The Ultimate Late-Night Spa Party Ticket

The beautiful surroundings and the fun atmosphere is let down by the men who were staring at and groping girls and furthermore the security guards who shrugged their shoulders when one girl complained about being groped. I would recommend anyone going to be careful attending these events and always go in a group.

Daniel was the most tour guide, who went above and beyond to to make our tour around Budapest very informative, and enjoyable. We were able to take regular stops en route to take photos. We were given valuable advice on places to eat/drink, sightseeing, etc. We would highly recommend Daniel to anyone travelling to this wonderful place. Carole & Christine

Castle District & Pest Driving Tour with Danube River Cruise

We booked a whole city tour the day before and thought that on this somewhat special tour we would delve a little deeper into history and see even more exciting places. Unfortunately that was not the case. In addition, we were of the opinion that the boat tour was part of the tour and you would go on board with the guide to get some insider information from the Danube and to ask certain questions. However, the boat tour takes place independently of the bus tour, at a time that you can choose from three options and where you have to go to the pier yourself. We did the boat trip in the evening which was beautiful !! Unfortunately, there is only a tape and no individual support. Pedro, our guide, was very funny, had a lot of insider information for us and made the tour varied. Nevertheless - for us - this tour was too similar to the City Tour - but the boat trip is highly recommended!

Day 1 in Budapest we did this with Daniel, was amazing! He gave us so much history of the city & was such a nice guy. He took us round everything on our own to do list we knew we had to see. Also emailed me a list of recommendation local restaurants & other places to see. Really gave us our bearings for walking around, I’d thoroughly recommend this.

Széchenyi Spa Full-Day Tour + bonus

Super easy & straight forward if you follow the steps: go to cashier 3, “Hungarian Koncert” as you present the tickets. We got the cabin which was great! I had read the review so packed the following: - swimming gear - flip flops - towels - sunscreen - water (you can refill it everywhere) Swimming cap only needed in the big pool with lanes so didn’t bother. Easiest way to access is with the Metro - my 12 year old was able to easily navigate it! It is a few min walk from the entrance to the baths! There is a reasonably priced cafe. If you want to get some loungers, go early! We arrived at 11 mid august so busy day but no loungers/ chairs. It is a really fun experience! Beautiful architecture, lots of different temperatures baths, super clean! Bonus: everyone we met there spoke English - not to be taken for granted in Budapest!

E-Bike Guided Tour and Castle Hill

The 3-hour e-bike tour took us to interesting sights on both sides of Budapest that we would have struggled to reach on foot. Our extremely attentive tour guide Andy told us the history of the individual sights in a very informative way. Overall, a very successful tour.
