We truly recommend this excellent tour of such a beautiful city with a first class guide. We visited all the important places of interest and were given plenty of time to walk around the lovely Heroes' Square and especially the very impressive castle where we even had time for a coffee break which is unusual on most city tours. We really enjoyed this experience and it represented great value for money.
great tour of Budapest on foot,we had Louis who has a great knowledge of the city's history and architecture you get the felling he would do this job for free, he loves his city.sorry we could not give him a tip we had a high value note only and found it difficult to swoop even for souvenirs they don't have enough change, Louis even paid our metro fare to and from hero's square even though its included in the tour would have given it back to him thanks for a great tour.
We were picked up at our hotel and taken a few minutes drive to the tour bus, large minibus, very comfortable. The guide spoke in Spanish and English to suit all passengers, detailed description and good knowledge of her city and history. Toured Pest side first, viewing key buildings and then stopped for photos talk and viewed Schenenyi baths at Heroes Square. Then across the Danube at Erzsebet bridge to Buda side and after talk and viewing Royal castle time for photostop at Fishermans Bastion. A long stop then at Gellert hill viewpoint, maybe too long, would've liked time to look around Gellert hotel and thermal bath whilst on Buda side. Back across Chain bridge and back to base to find way back to hotel. Very enjoyable and good introduction to Budapest at the beginning of holiday to find way around and choose places to revisit.
A very good tour! There were only two of us, but we got the best of the city, Heroes Square, the big churches, a walk up Castle Hill, a real feel for Budapest, and the afternoon free to go and explore inside what you have seen on your own, very good!
I think the only part of this tour that I would do again would be the visit to Parliament. I would probably skip the city tour part or do it on my own. Our guide was very rude whenever anyone asked questions, and his English was so poor that it was nearly impossible to understand him. We were given very little time at the places we stopped, so it was always rush, rush, rush. What's worse, we were never given the chance to use the restroom during the entire tour, and it lasted the better part of five hours, not the "3-3.5" that we thought it would. We went on the tour with our 5-month-old baby, and we ended up having to change his diaper while standing behind a bush at Heroes Square. I'm giving this 2 stars for the Parliament House visit only. The rest just was not worth it.
On the day we went on this tour there was a public transport strike. We missed out on Heroes Square, but the guide offered to take us to Parliament House instead. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and we really enjoyed this introduction to Budapest.
