          Excellent tour with Chrtistine
          Christine provided an excellent tour of Budapest. We traveled to viewpoints on the Buda side of the Danube where we had spectacular views of the city. Christine gave us informative narration about Hungary's history as we visited the Royal Palace, the Parliament Building, the Jewish Quarter, the Great Synagogue, Matthia's Church, St. Stephen's Basilica, and other sites in Budapest. Christine is very personable; concerned about her country and city and a pleasure to be with. It was an excellent tour!

          Amazing Budapest and Guide
          Christine and La’szlo made for a perfect day in Budapest. Our family loved the history, personal stories, and the time together in this must see city. Pick up a chimney cake or two along the way.

          A great 3-hour private tour of Budapest with an awesome guide, A'Kov
          This private guided tour organized via Parizi Udvar Budapest Hotel concierge was amazing. Our guide, A'Kos was 'customer focus' and his knowledge of Budapest was outstanding - All our questions have been answered, whatever the subject addressed. Next time we return to Budapest, we will choose this guide again in order to discover other parts of the city as well as other parts of Hungary. Thanks A'Kos for this very nice journey.

          Whirlwind Best of Budapest
          Christine was our guide on a six hour whirlwind luxury van tour of Budapest for my wife and I, two of my wife’s siblings and their spouses. Christine was deeply knowledgeable about the history of the city, its arts and architecture. We hit all the highlights we wanted to - Mattias Church, St. Stephen’s Basilica, the Grand Synagogue, the Opera House and the view of Buda from the hills of Pest. We were fortunate enough during our tour to enjoy a brief recital at the Opera House, with beautiful arias from Madama Butterfly and other classic works. Fabulous insights from Christine and Laszlo, our driver, dropped us off for brief walks at each of our stops, and picked us up immediately at convenient stops. Great way to see the best of Budapest in a day.

          An amazing day in Vienna!
          We took a day tour from Budapest to Vienna. We loved our guide Christine and our driver Laszlo. Christine was so knowledgeable on the history of both Hungary and Austria. It was amazing how she knows all of the dates, places and players of all the events in the history of the area. It was so pleasant listening and talking with her during the drive to and from Vienna. The walk through Vienna was great. It was nice hearing about all of the history of the buildings and statues as well as the events that happened in the city. Laszlo was a great driver, very courteous and safe. We were in great hands the entire time.

          Stefan the tall man led us, with his driver Leslie, to Eger, 2 vineyards/tasting rooms and lunch. Engaging, knowledgeable, patient and smart is how we’d describe Stefan. Thoroughly enjoyed our day. Relaxing, informative and fun. Thank you Stefan!

          Szentendre… worth the visit!
          We made a 5 hours tour with lunch to Szentendre… very interesting city by the Danube at the outskirts of Budapest… full of history and nice shops… Kristina, our guide, very sympathetic and vibrant for Hungary… it was really a good choice… the lunch could be in a better place but this was not enough to jeopardize the excellent experience!

          Budapest tour
          Christine our guide and Gabor our driver were both wonderful. Christine toured us around the Pest side of Budapest which was our request. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Hungary and picked a number of interesting locations to explore. Gabor did a fantastic job of navigating us through the city which had a major parade the day we were there.

          Insightful and informative tour!
          Excellent and well thought out tour! The tour combines driving and walking to many of Budapest’s most significant and historical landmarks, buildings and museums. Our guide, Christine, added an insightful, in-depth and detailed historical context to each of our stops along the way . Dzgii, our driver navigated us safely through the busy streets of this beautiful city. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about Budapests rich history and heritage.

        The driver was excellent and very professional. The tour guide was knowledgeable about the city of Budapest

        You are driven to sites such as
        Vajdahunyad Castle
        Szechenyi Baths
        Over to Buda to the castle district
        Matthias Church
        Fisherman’s Bastion
        Hungarian Parliament Building

        If you want to go inside any of these buildings or to swim in the Szechenyi Baths it is extra to pay, and time is limited.

        Is it worth the high cost, I would say no. I would recommend taking a day to go around City Park and swim in Szechenyi Baths and another day to the Buda side of the city to see other attractions

        Dear markhI5752ZG, Thank you so much for sharing your opinion about your experiences with us. We are happy to hear that you were satisfied with your driver and tour guide. Entrance tickets are not included in our rates but it is possible to purchase those on the spot if required, however we recommend visiting museums/spas tour not on our city tour, to allow our tour guide to show you as much as possible. I sincerely hope you will choose our service again if you return to Hungary and we will have the opportunity to answer your expectations. Warm regards, Kata Gyevát Dobó

        Jósef our driver was clearly very knowledgeable and spoke at a high rate throughout the trip. Could have slowed down just a bit!!
        More of a concern was the very smart/luxurious Mercedes saloon - it really isn't a great car for sightseeing as you are constantly having to duck under the window lines to see anything. A posh "van"/SUV/MPV would have been much better. These cars are more for middle-eastern visitors I would guess.... who probably don't care much....
        So, overall not a high scoring trip - especially at the price....

        Budapest comes alive at night, though can be cold in winter. Taking the car up to the hold was perfect to see the city from an Ariel perspective in all its glory. It was fantastic to see the city transform from day, sunset to night. Our tour guide was friendly l, professional and knowledgeable about the city’s history. The car was comfy and driver highly professional even chipping in with sites to see. Great service great city highly recommend the tour !

        7 of us here on short stay in Budapest so we wanted to see as much as we could and get the history of city. Our guide Denise was amazing. She gave us so much information and history, answered all our questions, evening accomodating our request for coffee. The bus was luxurious and our driver (Ishan? ) so patient and courteous. It is a little expensive compared to hop on hop off or public try but we all agreed it was well worth it. Thank you

        This was an excellent tour of the city! Not having a car or our own transportation, Stephen and Akos were wonderful about showing us what seemed like every single site in the city. In addition to seeing all the sites, Stephen's knowledge was top notch as he explained the significance and history of every single stop. He answered all of our questions and really was so much fun to be around. This was our second day in a row with him as we had done the culinary tour the day before and we could not have been happier to have him show us the city. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to explore, learn, and see virtually every sight around!

        My mom and I had a wonderful time exploring Budapest with Stephen 'The Tall Man'.
        Stephen was extremely knowledgable about everything from politics to history to culture. He was genuinely passionate about Hungary and Budapest itself. He was also extremely accommodating always asking what we were interested in and if we were ready to move on, not to mention he was early so we did not have to wait. I highly recommend this tour for your first day or two in Budapest as a way to get to know the city and really understand some of the sights you would like to explore more in depth. The van was a luxury Mercedes and was always parked very close to where we finished seeing a site.

        We had a fantastic tour of Buda and Pest. Our tour guide Katalin was extremely knowledgeable about the city and country and gave us some great insights. During the 4 hour tour that went by in an instant we visited Heroes Monument, the park, St Stephens, Opera, Parliament, and the thermal baths, on the Pest side. We crossed over into Buda and enjoyed Castle Hill and St Matthias church. The views from nearby were spectacular. Our guide and driver expertly optimized our time and provided enough flexibility to expand any areas we were enjoying. We could not have asked for a better tour.
