This was a great full day tour, the guide ( Alexandra ) was superb with unlimited knowledge on every aspects of Budapest and made the whole day both full of facts but also was great fun. We genuinely probably know more about the Hungarian history than our own countries now due to this great tour.

Amazing tour, tour guide very knowledgeable, learnt a lot and had fun (even in the rain). As small group, had tour tailored for us

Our tour guide Dalia provided an amazing overview of the city -- both the Buda and Pest side. And she gave us a solid understanding of the history and current state of affairs, arts, and culture in the country. She picked a route that was efficient and reflected keeping us out of the rain as much as possible. (We were there just ahead of the recent horrible floods.) The day flew by as Dalia tailored the route and commentary to the things the four of us were most interested in. This full day tour laid the groundwork for us to explore Budapest on our own over the next four days where we felt like we really understood where to go for more detail and how to get there. Highly recommend Dalia!

Loved this trip and how well I was tsken care of during the full day. Aniko was amazing, knowledgeable, and very sweet! I would 100% recommend this tour to friends

We had a fantastic time with a great guide, Dalia, who was so personable, interesting, and wonderfully knowledgeable. She was fantastic. We mentioned a couple things we wanted to do, and she made it happen. We had a great driver who got us all around the city both Pest side and Buda side. We really accomplished an enormous amount of sightseeing in one day: St. Stephen's Basilica including a trip to the top, Andrassy Blvd., the Opera including going down into the subway and getting a lesson in how to use it, a tour of the Cental Market Hall, a trip to Hero's Square and a view of the Szechneyi Baths, Buda Castle and the Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church, and most of all, we got a full tour of the Dohany Street Synagogue. We even stopped to sample the famous chimney cakes. I highly recommend this tour, and we loved Dalia.

Our tour of Budapest was a fantastic day. A beautiful city made better by our experience with Alexandra. She was an absolute delight who had broad knowledge and a passion for her subject.

Sarah was an amazing guide! We had an amazing day seeing the sights and learning all about Budapest/Hungary. She was very informative while still being entertaining, friendly, and easy going. Couldn't recommend the tour more!

This tour will provide you a comprehensive tour of Budapest and is a great value. We got to see highlights of the Buda side and the Peat side. You will use public transportation when getting around town. In Buda you’ll use a bus and Pest you’ll use the original subway system. Would highly recommend this tour, just be aware that you will do a good amount of walking.

Alexandra was absolutely amazing! She is incredibly knowledgeable and conveys this info in a fun and interesting manner. All three of us, to include our 13 year old son, throughly enjoyed the tour. She piqued our interest in so many areas that we want to go home and further research on the history of Hungary. She was so easy to spend the day with too. She really made this trip memorable. It would be wonderful to have an Alexandra in every city we explore.

Nomi was very knowledgeable and personable. She explained everything in great detail, answered all our questions and was sensitive to the oppressive heat during our tour. She offered additional suggestions about other things to see, using the trams etc. She was a tremendous guide and we would recommend her highly! Paul Booth and Adele Cappucci Booth.

An excellent all-day tour and a wonderful way to see all the most famous parts and sights in the city. My tour guide, Noemi, spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable about all the locations. She also knew where to refill my water bottle at public taps as well as the all-important restrooms. One nice part of the tour was when she took me into the Buda Hilton (which is built around a medieval cloister.) I would not have known that this was open to the public, and it was also a little break for air-conditioning and a nice restroom. This tour has lots of walking, so wear comfortable shoes. We did ride the streetcar up Andrassy utca to Heroes Square and also at the end from Gellert Hill back to the central part of Pest. Overall, this was a great way to spend the day, and I highly recommend it.

Budapest is an absolute gorgeous city with so much history. We booked a full day, private city tour with Tourist Angel. Our guide was Dalia Csizmar and she did a fabulous job! Dahlia took the time to sit with us prior to the tour to give us a brief overview of the sights and the day. More importantly, she took the time to get an understanding of our interests and reworked the entire day to accommodate them. Dalia’s was incredibly personable; her English was excellent and her in-depth knowledge of the sites was amazing. She set a high bar of expectations for how we approach any further tours. This was a great tour with an amazing tour guide. We would highly recommend this tour.

Thank you to Alexandra who was our guide - so knowledgable about everything - we learned so much about the beautiful sights in Budapest but also about the country and culture. Would highly recommend this tour especially if you are here for a short time and want to cram a lot in. Thank you for a wonderful day.

Paul was our guide. He adapted the tour to our requests; he spoke English wonderfully; his knowledge of the area was excellent; he showed us out of way unique places instead of the main sites (which we had already seen). He was also very pleasant and enjoyable. Highly recommend Paul

Essential walking tour was an excellent service during our trip to Budapest. We were a group of 8 friends led on a very informative and interactive 3 hour walking tour by Orsi who was so nice to chat to during this tour. I would highly recommend Essential Walking Tours and in particular Orsi as your tour guide.
