With the individually designed city tour you get a good insight into the various sights and can then decide which places you would like to visit again. Our guide - Agnes - really impressed us with her immense knowledge of the city and its history. We really enjoyed the tour with her. At this point, many thanks again!
Marilyn
The concert was absolutely beautiful! This was my 2nd time attending this concert in Budapest & remains a FAVE. The musicians are exceptional & the acoustics in St. Michael’s are tremendous. I highly recommend this event when visiting Budapest!
Catherine
Our favourite activity in Budapest! Tour guide was really informative. Such an interesting tour.
Christina
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!
Detlef

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.

Fannie was a fantastic guide. She was very personable and knowledgeable. She not only provided information on food and culture in Budapest, but also historical information and events. The restaurants were interesting and the food was delicious. We especially enjoyed the sausages and strudel! We were a private group of 6 people. One member had mobility difficulties. Fannie expertly guided us on trams and subways per our request.

Our guide Thomas was great. He made sure we felt comfortable on the segway before entering the city. Riding the segways was fun but the best part of the tour was that Thomas has great knowledge about the city and it's history. His enthusiasm was really contagious. He told us a lot of interesting things about the city and he took the time to answer all our questions. It was really noticeable that he studied to be a professional tour guide of Budapest.

Daniel Was a great guide with a lot of experience .He showed us the main sites in Budapest.We had plenty of time to stop for photos and the flask of tea and blankets were welcome.Having a tour by Tuk tuk is a good way to see all the main sites plus Daniel gave us lots of information about each location.I cannot rate him highly enough.
