Super Interesting

Published on Apr, 2023

I did this as a private tour. I was pleasantly surprised that the price for taking it privately was not ridiculously higher than if I joined an existing group as a single person. The tour was fascinating. Ferenc, the guide, was knowledgeable and really open to answering my questions and discussing the complex political issues that are raised through a tour like this. He also enriched the tour by giving me multiple perspectives on the issues, sometimes the perspectives of the different generations of his own family. The tour operator is a great little company that offers a highly personalised level of service. I booked four of their tours while I was in Budapest and was very glad I chose this company

Excellent tour - highly recommend

Published on Mar, 2023

Booked this tour for myself and my husband. It ended up just the two of us with the lovely Ferenc. We had a lovely walk around various areas of Budapest and learned a lot more around the history and political landscape of Hungary. Truly made our weekend break.

Historical tour in Budapest

Grand! I love learning about history, especially that of the countries I visit. Our tour guide was a darling, a very smart and professional one too! I did not know quite many things about Hungary which now all made sense as we saw the city.

My brother and I booked this tour and we had a great time. It was quite the walk but the tour guide made time pass by with much grace. The guide was very good and answered all our questions. Very nice tour!

Amazing Tour, Wonderful Company
