Getting to know Budapest
MaryJo_H, Mar 2026
Our tour guide Bea was a wealth of knowledge. Our mothers were born in Hungary and she answered a lot of our questions. The tour covered a lot of ground and we learned a lot about the city. Would highly recommend this tour to get to know the city.
Grand city with plenty to explore with a caveat
dr7u15, Jan 2026
Budapest is a beautiful, grand city with impressive architecture and plenty to explore. Walking around feels like stepping into history, and there’s no shortage of sights, food, or atmosphere. However, security cameras are extremely visible and widespread, which can feel distracting and a bit uncomfortable, especially when you’re trying to relax on vacation. It doesn’t completely ruin the experience, but it’s something sensitive visitors should be aware of.
Great experience

This walking tour was very relaxed and informative. Our guide, Dominic had a great sense of humor and his English skills were excellent. He loves his city and was able to share that joy with us. He gave us options for making our way across town.
