Nora provided great insight into the history and culture of the city in an interesting lively manner. She made sure that my family and friends were comfortable during the tour and even changed her plans on the spot to accommodate my mother who couldn’t climb stairs and drove her to the top of the hill to see St. Matthias church. Thank you so much for a great tour!”
Danube Bend cruise from Budapest to Visegrád with royal palaces, pálinka tasting, street food, canopy trail options, round trip in 11 hours.
“visegrad is actually a really great destination however the “cruise” is more akin to a ferry ride. Despite being a six hour return trip the onboard audio is for a different trip, the onboard cafe/bar did not open so there is no chance of a hot drink nor water, there is no information about the toilets nor onboard safety, and the joyless crew barely speak, so do not provide any information about the journey nor the destination.”
Hotel pickup, a tailored private guide, Budapest’s top sights, Széchenyi Baths, lunch and dessert, and a Metro pass in one day.
“The tour was amazing. We had been to Budapest before and had thought we had seen the main attractions but the guide showed us soo much more. So many interesting sites near the main attractions. We also got to see the wonderfully decorated foyers of the opera house and the city baths.”

“There's nothing on the website when I booked this tour that says it's a walking tour I repeat walking tour I put in 9 and 1/2 Mi today and there was nothing in the website that said this was essentially a walking tour all over budapest. It was a great tour and we saw nice things and my guide Zoltan was terrific and the lunch was great but the walking was unexpected. The only Transportation was by Subway and tram which were fine and Sultan navigated and paid for that just fine. Another thing to be aware of is that there is no admission to any of the sites. There…”
