The result of this tour? We were so happy! The guides were so friendly and informative and they talked about their city with such passion and honesty that I really felt like I learnt a lot.

We had a few days to spend in Budapest so thought the walking tour was the best way to get orientated in the city. We made the right decision. Our guide was very knowledgable and extremely enthusiastic. The two "helpers" were always nearby to answer questions too. The guide talked very clearly and you could still hear well even from...

All the tours are excellent; clear and informative. You just could not pick this up yourself on your own. We have done every tour and they are superb. A must for any visit to Budapest; done early on your visit so you can go back again to see in more detail. WOW!!

I did the walking tour since I only had one day in Budapest and it was really the best thing to do. A group of lovely locals show you around the city, provide you with a shortcut through Hungary's history without boring the pants off you and in addition give you tipps where to go out, where to eat, but...

Have done many free walking tours and this one didn't disappoint. The large group was efficiently split into smaller ones which all took a different route so we were not bothered by overlapping explanations. Accents are a little on the heavy side, but hey, there's no way I could do any kind of tour in a foreign language so bravo!
