Nora is the best! Has a passion for her city and culture - we loved every minute of it - loved how relaxing, yet full the trip was
It was an excellent experience.! Our guide, Susan was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. We will never forget this wonderful moment in our life.
Suzanne was great! On time to start and even made a little adjustment to show us some things not on the tour. She was knowledgeable and helpful in giving us advice on how to navigate the city if we wanted to revisit any of the places. Enjoyed the lunch, the sponge cake was delicious. The boat tour was relaxing. Thanks again! (Despite a grumpy member of our group)
Our guide was nice and knowledgeable. A few things would have improved our experience. Our guide did not use an audio vox. Even with our small group, we missed out on much of her commentary which was a disappointment. Since we were already on a Viking River Cruise and had commentary on the harbor on our cruise and during the private tour, the river cruise was not the best use of our time. Had we known more we would have worked with our guide to plan something else for that precious time in Budapest. We also felt a bit abruptly dropped off at the river cruise pier without sufficient guidance on how to board the river cruise boat.
My tour of Budapest was great! My guide was very knowledgeable. She Provided a lot of details with specific facts and was shown hidden spots. My guide’s historical knowledge was impeccable. The lunch was delightful. And the boat ride was a great way to end the tour. I highly recommend this tour.
Before writing a review I would like to know which restaurant we should have been taken to and what the menu should have been. We pay two people 560 € for the excursion. Please answer me.
Zsofia (Sophia). Was a high energy positive personality and gave a great tour of Budapest. We spent the majority of time driving in her car to various places starting with Pest and then moving over to Budapest. She offered a detailed explanation at each site and gave us Hungarian lessons along the way. We stopped and walked at several locations including Heroes square and St Mathias church. You can tell she had done this for decades as she has a mental script of everything and continues to talk all through driving in the chaotic traffic in the city. Budapest has the most wonderful architecture and is an interesting mix of classic architecture from late 1800s/early 1900s along with communist era brutalist buildings in various stages of maintenance. As an American, the long history of the Hungarians and all the occupations such as the Romans, the Ottoman Turks, the Hapsburg dynasty, Austria Hungarian empire, the Nazis, the Soviets, the long period of communism and then the transition to capitalism is fascinating!! Zsofia is a true Hungarian and loves to talk about her country. Now is probably not for everyone as like I stated she is high energy and forward which would probably not work for some subdued, less adventurous Americans, but it worked for us!!
Highlight of our trip to Budapest. Suzanna was lovely and informative. She knew way more than our guises in Vienna or Bratislava/ lives the city and gave many many many useful suggestions I will definitely recommend this tour to friends!!! And we will be back as so much to see and explore!
Great city tour of Budapest with Tamas as our guide. Drive to sites and short walks to really see the different parts of the 2 parts of the city. Tamas provided fascinating background and inside information. Awesome!
Susan’s incredible knowledge of the area’s history was wonderful. She showed us multiple areas of the city, explaining everything from the layout, background, and architecture as we went along.
