Very interesting historical walk

Published on Jan, 2025

The tour guide was very knowledgeable. He took us through a potted history of Hungary before commencing the walk itself. We stopped at various points while he explained about these spots. Very courteous and highly recommended.

Must do walking tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide was on-time very knowledgeable and open to questions. As a first timer in Budepest it was brilliant.

Dalia really knew her stuff - a great guide
