Amazing Tour and Tour Guide Experience! - This tour was amazing (we did a walking tour)! It was our last day in the city, so Anetta made sure we saw all the hot spots of Budapest that we hadn’t made it to yet. She was a very knowledgeable and personable guide (She’s also phenomenal at taking photos and pointing out the best views). We loved the experience and would highly recommend!

Fabulous walking tour of Budapest - Budapest is one of the most beautiful cities and so full of history, culture and amazing architecture. We couldn’t have had a better tour guide than Anetta to teach us so much and show us the most amazing areas of the city. It was an extremely hot day but Anetta was so full energy and excitement when explaining the sites we visited. She was a pleasure to be with and shared so many interesting facts and details. We were so pleased with our tour and highly recommend Anetta.

Beautiful City and Amazing Guide - What an Amazing tour of Budapest with Anneta! With her knowledge and history of the city made our tour incredible. She went out of her way to point out some hidden gems of the city as well the historical monuments. I would HIGHLY recommend taking her tour. This is a must to see the Buda and Pest side respectively. Anneta even went out of her way to help us with dinner reservations and a evening cruise. Thank you.

Amazing Tour! - Andrea, was amazing. She customized our tour to just the Pest side. Heroes Square gave us an overview of Hungary’s past through the many statues displayed. She was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. We saw some sights not normally seen by tourists. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody visiting Budapest for the first time!

Dynamic tour of Budapest - We had an excellent time touring Budapest. The tour was extensive and thorough. Andrea was friendly, informative and has great knowledge of Hungarian history. Indeed she lived through the dynamic history of Hungary and added an intelligent perspective based on this fact. We highly appreciated and recommend the tour. You won’t regret it.

Excellent host to show you the city - We hired Anetta to show our family of four an overview of Budapest. She was a fantastic host — full of knowledge that was both interesting to my husband and I and our 10 and 12 year olds. She took us to all of the main sights in both Buda and Pest, striking the right balance of time and information for each. I highly recommend her. Great way to quickly get an overview of the cities.

Culture, Architecture, History and Local Secrets! - Anetta knows Budapest inside and out. Spending the day with Anetta was full of stories and secret places we would never have found without her. We tasted Hungarian dishes, wine, and sweets; had photos with locals and visited a private museum. Our tours were tailored to the things that interested us and included history and local lore. We felt welcome and part of the city when we were with Anetta. If you want to really see the city and learn about the history and culture of this lovely place, I recommend booking with Anetta, you won't regret it!

A true professional who we would highly recommend. - Anetta filled our day and a half with the highlights of the city and her knowledge of the architecture, the history, and was second to none. Not only did she show us her city, she made bookings for us and went out of her way to make sure we accomplished a great deal in the short time we had.A fabulous guide and a wonderful person.

Beautiful Budapest - Excellent guide tour with Monika. She was very clear in explaining the history of Hungary and the historic sites we did in Budapest. Very recommendable to visit some major historic sites in a short time. We are leaving out the 5th star however : The visit to Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church were left out of which we don’t know the reason. We did however visit the Opera on the beautiful old metro line M1 Still the tour with Monika was mega interesting and we would definitely come back someday to Budapest to follow up on other suggestions from Monika.

Non event - After a 45 minute walk to the designated area our tour guide didn’t turn up, We then walked back to the hotel to follow up where our guide said she was away looking after a sick relative. At least we received a full refund.
