Small group and knowledgeable guide
Published on Jun, 2024
It was a very small group and the tour guide was very careful to make sure we were in the shade and to walk at a pace that was good for everyone. She was very considerate indeed and have a great run down of the history of Budapest.
Great overview of central Budapest and Hungarian history
Published on Dec, 2023
Oliver was a friendly, knowledgeable guide who took the time to find out our interests and ensured the tour covered those, plus more. We covered a lot of ground in 2 hours, both in steps and in Hungarian history. Also given advice on where and what to eat/drink. 10/10.

Published on Sep, 2022
Such good value for such an amazing experience. Our tour guide was amazing, she was so informative, and really went above and beyond what we expected. She showed us all around Budapest, gave us so much information that was unbiased, clear, and really enlightening. She gave us so much information and was so helpful, I would definitely go again!
Knowledge transfer at the highest level with lots of fun
Published on Sep, 2020
The historical Pest tour guided by Adam was an impressive journey through Hungarian history and the development of Buda and Pest into one city Budapest. Because Adam lives and studied in Budapest he has enormous knowledge and is excellent at explaining historical, cultural and social developments. Adam also tells the legends around Budapest in a very entertaining way and he had an answer to all our questions.
I can really recommend the Pest Tour with Adam, he is a perfect guide!
Fascinating historical and cultural tour
Published on Aug, 2020
Adam is very knowledgeable, and the tour was incredible.
The tour was given although we were only three participants.
He explained details that made it fascinating.
Adam was born and lived in Budapest, so he experienced the historical happenings of the last 50 years and can talk about them in an objective way.
Highly recommended!
