    Great way to see Budapest, enjoy local food, wine and music. We highly recommend this evening. It was a little pricey but worth it.

    Absolutely lovely experience, very good guide. I would recommend this tour as one of most interesting tours we made during our stay in Budapest. After House of music one can enjoy beautifull park surrounding the House.

    We are probably not typical visitors on this tour. But I love art and was so interested in ETs knowledge about how street art and stickers evolve. He explores what it is (and isn’t) and whose property it is. He was funny, informative and responsible for what he was sharing and how.
    I can see how every tour is slightly different as the streets and his visitors change. If you know a lot about this I’m sure you’d get even more from it. I would really recommend such a different view of the city. Downpipes have never grabbed my attention so much! And I’ve done exploring to do. If you are in ‘Dull men’s club, the banana only had a slight mention.. this tour is so much more than that. And save the ruin bar and most of your city exploration for after this tour. It’ll give you fresh eyes. Thanks ET.

    Hands down the most enjoyable and truly informative experience I’ve had in Budapest. No boring facts you could read in a book. Instead a delightful journey through history to present time through the eyes of various street artists. If you take one tour while in Budapest, make this it. It’s also a very intimate tour with no more than eight, so you really have a chance to ask questions and get to know the city.

    We really enjoyed this informative and fun tour. Our guide Zsanett was great and ensured everyone was happy during the tour. She shared a lot of information and anecdotes of the area. My 11-year-old didn't get bored at all.

    We were fortunate enough to do an Art Nouveau walking tour with Suzy throughout Budapest. Suzy is knowledgeable and thoughtful. She has extensive knowledge about Budapest’s architecture and history and took us to many lesser known sites. She was also mindful of the heat and made sure that we were appropriately shaded and walking at a comfortable pace. I would highly recommend Suzy for a walking tour for anyone who is visiting Budapest. I booked through Viator and found it was very reasonably priced. Thank you again, Suzy!

    Petra gave us an incredible insight into parts of Budapest that we would not have found on our own. Petra’s knowledge about culture and history was outstanding. We were totally engaged every step of the way. We highly recommend this tour with Petra. Our only regret is that we didnt do the tour sooner so that we could revisit some of the local design shops. Thank you so much Petra .

    Andras was a fantastic guide. Insight Cities is the best. Andras shared so much information about Budapest and Hungarian history. We even got into linguistics. He is incredibly knowledgable and a great conversationalist. We started Gerbaud and ended in a little cafe in the Jewish quarter.

    Petra was wonderful from the start of our communications to the day itself. She even tailored the day around our request. It was like going shopping with a friend. She picks you up and drives you to shops on both the Buda side and the Pest side. There were areas I would have never seen on my own especially on the Buda side. My daughter and I got some great outfits and I got a very unique purse that I love. The day ended with me feeling like I had made a new friend, like I really lived in Budapest for a day, and like it was Christmas except I got what I really wanted. It was a very happy day and a treasured memory. Go to Budapest, it s a beautiful city with warm people and take this tour and feel like a local and reward yourself with gifts.
