          A delightful tour with a charming guide, engaging conversations, and delicious food.
          Since the group tours were already booked out and I only had this one single day in Budapest, I decided to do a private tour for one person. Having slept too little on that day, I wasn't really ready for exchange with another person, so naturally, I was afraid that the tour might end up being awkward. Thankfully, I was wrong. My tour guide was a charming person who showed me around the city and hat lots of interesting things to tell. The two hours were full of interesting conversations about Hungarian cuisine, language and history. I loved the food selection and the the places where we had the food. Beware, though, that Bulgarian food is quite heavy, so make sure to have enough space for it.

          Ruined bar tour of Budapest with Eliz.
          We would highly recommend the ruins bar tour with our guide Eliz. She was very friendly and informative. We went to some bars that we would not have been able to find on our own, and learnt the history of the ruined bars. Janine and Nick

          egészségedre! Cheers to a great tour with Eliz!
          Eliz was an exceptional tour guide who made each of the wondeful ruin bars even more unique and engaging. She was brilliantly knowledgable about each location, liqour, wine and snack. She was very persobable and made the tour fantastically enjoyable. We reccommend this tour to everyone looking for a fun time in Budapest! egészségedre!

          Great fun!
          We had a really great fun tour! Eliz and Adam were very friendly and knowledge hosts and took us to great places with delicious food and great stories. Very relaxed; it felt like being out with friends, but special ones who knew a lot about the city and its culture. Lots of great tips for the rest of our trip too. Köszönöm!

          Great walking food tour!
          The guide was excellent and the local street food he introduced us to was delicious. He also provided great information about the history and sites in Budapest.

          Street Food is the best!
          Alice did a terrific job telling about the history of the districts that we visited. We learned about the origins of the food we sampled and she shared her own family history in making these foods at special times of year. While all of the food we sampled was delicious, I must say the iced coffee at The Strudel House was my favorite. This tour was great, bring your appetite. As a note I am not able to walk long distances and the amount we walked was very doable for me.

          Absolutely delightful
          We had a lovely time with our tour guide Bianka as we walked through the street trying traditional Hungarian delights , Langos, chimney cake, sausages and of course Strudel all delicious and generous portions. We could not have asked for a better tour and we were so full and couldn’t eat another thing. Highly recommend this tour

          Jewish Quarter tour
          A tour around the Jewish Quarter / Ruin Bars wasn’t on the top of my list when I planned to visit Budapest but I loved every second! Trying news bars and drinks (shout out to cherry beer!) was so much fun, especially led by Fanni! She is so knowledgeable and made the experience fun to meet new people and explore areas I hadn’t considered. She taught the history of the Jewish Quarter well and I loved learning about the history of such a beautiful country. Would 100% recommend!

          Fantastic afternoon!
          Scheduled a solo tour while visiting Budapest. Eliz was our guide and she was amazing. I am originally from Budapest but she educated me on my own culture! Was a fantastic way to spend the afternoon!

          Best tour of Budapest
          This tour was amazing! Our guide Ferenc customized the tour for us to add somethings that we requested and avoid places we had been. He was knowledgeable, interesting and genuinely cared about whether we were enjoying the tour. Lunch was delicious. We learned background and facts we would have never known walking around on our own. I highly recommend this tour.

          Great tour with the best tour guide.
          We had absolutely great time with Ferenc while walking through streets of Budapest. Ferenc has in-depth knowledge about Hungarian city. He kept us comfortable all along and had organised the program which suited us the best. The lunch is sumptuous and delicious. If opportunity given, we would be happy to do another tour with Ferenc.

          You have to see it to believe it!
          Definitely worth a visit! Not seen anything like it before. Tends to be a young crowd but when you see the place it makes sense to why. Open till late and generally a good vibe. One of the only places we re visited over our stay.

          Fabulous tour!!!!
          Ferenc took my husband and me on a fabulous tour of street food in Budapest. This was our first trip to Budapest and I wanted to see where and what locals ate. The food was DELICIOUS - everything we ate or drank was so good!! Ferenc was a fantastic guide!!! It was like spending several hours with a great friend who knew everything about Budapest! We loved EVERY MINUTE of this tour!! Highly recommend!

        Tour is too long under the current situation. Could not see the palace or much of anything on the Buda side due to construction. Went to the cathedral and briefly walked around and saw the president’s house….that’s about it there. Our tour didn’t go to the markets, nor some of the places in the description. We walked about 8 miles on a 91 degree day plus took trams and underground. There was too much walking and not enough stops with discussion. Most people could not have handled the walking. We seemed to zig zag a lot in the Pest area. Only went inside two churches, which we had to pay for, and the lobby of the Opera…..otherwise we walked by and looked at a lot of the important buildings. We walked forever to get to Heroes Square and to look at that castle for 10 minutes. Our guide, while pleasant, was not forthcoming and we had to ask him constantly about information as to what we are looking at, life in Budapest and Hungary-basically what a tour guide should be mentioning during a private tour. Lots of quiet on our 7 hours of walking. Visited a coffee house which was fine and sampled two desserts and coffee. Lunch was bare bones….2 sausages, bread and water which the guide ordered. We would have expected a sampler of Hungarian food and some wine in a quaint spot in the city center.

        We were two couples traveling through Budapest independently for three days before joining an organizaed river tour and we wanted a full day private tour of Budapest. Budapest Urban Walks was terrific every step of the way, from organizing to confirmation. They’re the best!!

        The guide that we had was Norburg, who was everything that one would want in a guide…friendly, professional, knowledgable, fun and entertaining! He structured the tour based upon what we wanted to see and how long we wanted to be out. And I finding the comments from one of the previous reviews about being “too long of a tour”. Well…it’s a private tour!! If you’re tired, let your guide know and they’ll stop the tour…duh!! Comments like that are right up there with “loved the cruise but the ocean was too wet”!

        And while a longer day, we did get to cover everything that we wanted to see. It gave us terrific insight about where we would like to go back to and visit more in depth, as this is Budapest and plenty to do!

        Defintely, when we return to Budapest, we will only be booking with Budapest Urban Walks…they’re the only way to see Budapest. Ask for Norburg!!

        Ferenc was the best tour guide I’ve ever had. Local food, local places, adapted to whatever we wanted to do, which was see everything and hike 12 miles in the process…though he would have tailored it to anything we wanted to do. Extremely thorough knowledge of English, history, onion smashing, and both Buda and Pest. Highly recommend.

        Enjoyed our day with Fanni. She very enthusiastically showed us around both sides of the Danube and we saw many beautiful sites and learned some history of Budapest along the way. We both walked and took public transportation.

        The tour was excellently tailor made, just properly adjusted to our hotel location as well as any needs and wishes we had. The pace, the stories told, the Ferenc's history knowledge made it absolutely interesting. The tour took 8 hours and we even didn't notice how the time passed. Amazingly, in the end we didn't feel neither tired nor hungry. Were feeling just a joy of the city tour of a type we never had before.

        I did a lot of research prior to this group trip last year and this tour crossed out everything on my list. We went to one side of Budapest, saw the basilica and the parliament, crossed the famous chain bridge and saw the castle area. It was quite well-organized and we had very nice Hungarian food too. Sending regards to our tour guide who was very professional and helpful.

        Had a wonderful day seeing the sites in Budapest. My guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the city and culture of Budapest. I also really enjoyed the stops for a Hungarian Pastry and traditional lunch. We walked between most of the sites, but also took the subway and bus for the longer stretches which was interesting. I highly recommend the full day tour as there is so much to see in Budapest.

        My colleague and I spent an amazing day with Urban Walks to explore Budapest on the Budapest Greatest Hits tour. Adrienn met us at our hotel and showed us many beautiful sites of Budapest for the next 7 hours. We mainly walked and took the tram on 2 occasions to get to the next area of interest. Adrienn is very knowledgeable and friendly. Her English language skills are excellent and she taught us a lot about this awesome city. We stopped for lunch at a local bakery and tasted some of the delicious local cakes. We ended the day at a restaurant where we had goulash and a beer. The 7 hours were easy going and passed in a breeze.
        I can highly recommend this tour if you want to see and learn a lot about Budapest in a limited amount of time and in a very personalized and leisurely way.
