Great Experience - We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, György Rashad Salamon, was super friendly and professional. The program was well customized to meet our needs and took us to amazing places and showed us how to get around the city by train and bus, which we really enjoyed. He is also very fluent in English, so you will not have any communication issues. He is very knowledgeable, which makes travelling with him a pleasant experience. We strongly recommend this tour for anyone coming to Budapest.

Excellent Walking Tour of Budapest Whether Solo or in a Small Group - I was traveling to Budapest solo for a few days and was in search of a tour that would accommodate 1 person (most tours require a minimum of 2 – 4 people). The tour offered by George Rashad met my needs as far as solo traveler and touching most of the highlights in the historical city of Budapest. George arrived at the hotel a few minutes early and after brief introductions, we were off on our tour. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the country, city and sharing the culture of the area.
We got to visit most of the main historical sites and attractions between walking and using public transportation (this was a big benefit as it allowed me to familiarize myself with the public transportation system). The way George shares historical facts and information is very engaging (I have been on tours where it is monotone and disengaging so I very much appreciated his interactive style). HE is also very flexible and will easily adjust the tour to include different aspects.
If you’re planning to visit Budapest and want to get a great overview of the country and city’s history and culture while seeing the main attractions of the historical city, I would highly recommend that you book a tour with George, whether you’re in a small group or solo.
