An all-round successful city tour - Fortuna is a really nice and very competent guide. With their very entertaining way of telling, it never got boring on the approximately 2.5h long tour and we would recommend this tour to anyone coming to Budapest. The tips on restaurants, drinking water points and tourist traps were also worth gold.
