Super Interesting - Wow! Thank you so much for this tour, we really enjoyed it and the guide was super nice. We particularly enjoyed the description of medieval building construction methods, especially the angularity of the roof that was built purposefully to be decorated by beautiful fresco's. Super cool!

Great tour of history and architecture - Great tour of the (history of) architecture of Budapest. We loved to see hidden places in different parts of the town and understand now much better what it means to regain independence. Beata included aspects, that were interesting for every age group (opera, szimpla bar etc) and was able to adjust her tour to focus on parts of the city, that we’ve barely seen.
