Monika is the best tour guide
Connolly_W, Jan 2026
Our tour guide, Monika, was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, friendly and interactive. We learned so much from her in such a short amount of time. We didn't feel rushed at all during any part of the tour, and it was a very relaxed pace. We also very much liked that the group was so small, only 5 of us.

Great tour, very helpful guide.

The guide was very knowledgable and organized. We were able to see all facets of the castle, and learn about the long and volatile history of Hungary. Despite the crowds we were able to hear and learn about how the castle played a role in Budapest history
