Great views from the top of Buda

Our guide Fanni was very knowledgeable and did a great job on our tour. It was a relaxed pace and we were fortunate to observe the cherry blossoms. The cake shop was yummy. Fanni picked us up at our boat and got us back after a fact filled tour.
Great tour

Our tour guide, Esmet picked us up promptly at 9 o’clock at our hotel and walked us through our neighborhood, pointing out various sites and giving us hints about what sites we might want to visit as well as good food recommendations on popular local delights. She directed us to retro Langos, which was delicious, and then to the First Strudel House of Budapest for some different strudel. You can see them making it and offer several varieties Traveled up to Buddha castle, and she took us throughout the grounds, explaining everything, very knowledgeable about the history of Budapest. Our tour culminated at a typical coffeehouse, where she ordered coffee and cakes for us, and then departed. The cakes were phenomenal as was our tour guide. We would recommend her highly! Hope you’re lucky enough to get her!
Fantastic Castle Tour in Budapest!

Leslie was beyond and I mean beyond knowledgeable. He was also very funny and a pleasure to be around. He made this day a memorable one for sure.
Fanni-tastic!

In a word, Fanni was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and thorough with her explanations ot the somewhat complicated Hungarian history. Also very personable. Just the right combination of history and personality. Highly recommended.
Fantastic

We had a wonderful morning touring the castle area with Ferencz. We really enjoyed talking with him and learning about the area. He was very knowledgeable and patient with us and all of our questions. We liked his bakery choice and felt very happy we had booked the tour. Can def recommend!
Great Guide

Ferencz was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable and friendly. He was also able to adjust on the fly: when we told him we'd already toured St. Stephens -- a large part of any castle district tours -- he focused more on the things we hadn't seen and on Hungarian history. Ask for him if you can.
Good Tour with a Great Guide

Our guide, Odea, picked us up at our hotel on time. She was extremely friendly and took good care of us during the trip. She was explained clearly the history of the castle area. We highly recommend her to anyone who would like to tour around the lovely city Budapest. Philip and Lisa
Amazing Tour!

My twin sister and I had a wonderful time on this tour! Our guide, Rajmund, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We loved learning about Hungarian customs and history. :) The tour included Buda Castle, the Palace, Fisherman's Bastion, and Matthias Church, all of which was amazing! We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting a thorough and fun experience of Budapest! :D
