Great tour given by Andy. She gave us a full overview of the city with details that we do not find in any travel guide. We had a great time and we recommend doing this tour early into your trip.

My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic walking tour of Budapest with our guide, Louisa. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip! Louisa is truly exceptional. We loved that the group size was small, making the experience feel comfortable and personal. She possesses a profound knowledge of the city, providing a wealth of information about all the major sights, history, and local culture. What made the tour special were the charming tidbits and local insights she shared. Louisa was incredibly generous with her time, ensuring that every single question we had was answered thoroughly. She made the history of Budapest come alive! If you're looking for an informative, personal, and engaging tour experience, I highly recommend taking this tour and asking for Louisa!

Very good intro to the city. Probably would skip the strudel next time. Great historical perspective from Greg. Very personable and knowledgeable. Good introduction to use of public transportation.

Anna navigated us through Budapest - we walked, took a tram, a bus, and the metro. Anna explained everything as we went along. Very knowledgeable about the area and its history. The strudel stop was delicious. Anna really knows the city, things that you wouldn’t find in book. She was also helpful with information to get us back to the hotel. Also, where to get things that we asked her about.

Such a great tour. Our guide Greg was so knowledgeable , passionate about his country and it's history. We could never have known about the background to the lcoAtions we visited without him. Plus being taken on the underground allow us to see how easy and safe it was . Superb morning and thoroughly recommend. The strudel house stop was added bonus

Excellent tour with a very knowledgeable guide. Group size was just right and there was no way I would have found out the information about the places without doing this type of tour. Length of tour was just right with mix of walking and public transport. I thought it was really good value for money

Everytime we visit a new city/country, we love booking a walking tour of the primary area we will largely be staying in order to learn the history and orient ourselves. This was one of the best walking tours we have ever done. Esther was amazing. She was organized, kept the tour moving, and we covered a LOT of ground with the help of the subway/metro and the bus public transportation system. You get to see Buda, as well as Pest, learn a lot about the origins to under the Soviet Union to present day, and eat delicious strudel - what's not to like? Highly recommend if it's your first time in Budapest.
