This was a wonderful way to see some of the main attractions of the city. Our guide Orsi was terrific; extremely knowledgeable & friendly and I would recommend her in a heartbeat! While it is a 3 hour walking tour, the pace and terrain is easygoing. I would not hesitate to use them again for another tour :)

Great tour with lots of sights along with super guide, Andi.

This tour is very good & informative. We were able to see things that we otherwise would have missed. The ride on the metro & the visit to the bath house was a treat. Our guide, Andi, was fun and very knowledgeable about the history of Hungary. The stop at the coffee shop was a special treat too. I would highly recommend this tour.

learnt much about Budapest in a small group

It was definitely a good choice joing the Walking tour. We were four people so a small group. I had the chance to get know other people and chat. Our guide Evelin cared for everbody. We had a lots of useful Information about the history of Hungary and hints during the tour. It was perfect for someone who was travelling alone and has a short stay in Budapest. For the ones who had more time it was definitely a perfect start to discover Budapest. Even we had lunch in a traditonal strudel restaurant what was included in price. If I come back to Budapest with my family or friends I will definitely repeat it.
