Dalia was a wonderful tour guide with a wealth of knowledge- she is very patient ( not easy dealing with a little one one as part of your crew) . She was able to incorporate facts that would interest a child in our tour. She is quite personable and very professional! Thank you Dalia, for the crash course In the Hungarian history 😁😁😁😁

Niomi was beautiful guide. She shared her immense knowledge of Buda and Pest with my daughter and myself. She was passionate about the cuisine and taught us about some National dishes. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her.

Very good tour with a friendly, knowledgeable guide, Dahlia. Dahlia started our tour by asking what we might like to focus on -- history, architecture, arts -- then tailored her tour to include those things. It was very windy and cold when we toured (late December), so even warm rest stops were included! The tour was peppered with local lore as well as personal reflections and provided an excellent introduction to Buda and Pest!

We really enjoyed this walking tour because not only was it a private tour (to our surprise), but it hit all the highlights of Budapest. Our guide was Naomi and she was very thorough and knowledgeable about the places we visited. She was very kind and patient because we had our toddler in a stroller with us as well. Our kiddo managed to lose one of his mittens and she took the time to try and locate it for us. Overall, a must do!

Our guide Dalia is just wonderful.. it is our first day in Budapest; but she carefully explain the history and key events of each place we visited; but kindly offer information eg how to use the train, where does it go, what else you can see. We also ask her as to good hungarian restaurants which she offered a few to try. She is informative, patient and comfortable to be with...Enjoy the walk and the discussion with her tremendously. Thank you for the tour.
