Our guide Noémi was absolutely brilliant - a local historian who customized the private tour entirely to our interests. She began with a history overview lesson which put everything into context as she showed the different sites, she had picture aids to show, and she was extremely knowledgable with lots of gems of great stories. She made comprehensible the very complex history of Budapest in a way that was sensible and clear. She answered all our questions about day-to-day life. This is truly one of the best tours anywhere in the world we've experienced!

Exceptional small-group historical tour of the Pest side of Budapest. Tour guide provided a great historical tour of the area and was very informative. Tour consisted of a lot of walking, but it was very worthwhile. I highly recommend this tour. It's a much better experience than the cruise ship busload tours.

Steven “the tall” took us on quite a journey across the history and space of the Budapest waterfront and downtown area. The Bascilica, the financials, the previous grain exchange. All while relating the impacts of the invading powers and wars of the previous century. Statutes, building adoration depicting the beliefs, struggles and enduring drive of the Hungarian people. Lots of ground covered though.

Andrew did an excellent job of providing detailed history of the region and cities. We covered a very large area. There is much walking in the three hours but he kept the pace easy. Great tour!

Great tour with Greg around the Castle District. Greg took us to the highlights and also to a few places we didn’t see any other tourists or groups that were really interesting. His personal experiences in the area really came through and provided a greater appreciation for the area.

Had a great tour of Pest in the company of Daniel, a very knowledgeable guide. With just 2 in the group we could walk and talk and got to see most of the city.
