Very interesting and informative tour. One of the many highlights of our Budapest trip. Our guide went into lots of detail and gave us a real insight into the background and culture of Budapest.

A thorough and thought provoking tour

Roz_E, Oct 2023

Very interesting to hear not just about buildings but also the current repercussions of the regimes on todays society. My only suggestion for improvement would be positioning on the street- ie not by a fountain where kids are screeching, or a smelly corner or in a thoroughfare. A minor point but worth mentioning.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Welcome to Budapest. 2 We are the second poorest country in europe. The tour covers 22 locations and monuments from the viii, vii, vi and v. Some locations like parliament square, liberty square, the basicalla are beautiful, others less so, but they remain of historical significance.

Interesting and informative

Amazing tour by an amazing guide

Victoria was an mazing guide, she captured our attention with her amazing style, clear speach, perfect English, and sense of humour. I was with my daughter who is thinking about studying history, she was very impressed as well. We highly recommend this tour and Victoria as the English guide, thank you.. Shwan & Samar 11 Apr 23
