As we head towards the Basilica, I will briefly discuss its history and its connection to Hungarian history and language, sharing some intriguing facts about the Hungarian language.
- Deak Ferenc Square - Here, I will explain the public transportation system, the districts, the layout of the Party district, and point out the Airport Bus pick-up and drop-off points.

Additional Information
A perfect way to learn about the history of Budapest, especially the Jewish / Party district, get a general understanding of the city while socializing with other travelers and have few drinks served to you on the way! Come join Me for a night out in Budapest. :) A truly Fantastic combination of history and beer ( and a surprise shot)! The three/four spots we are going to visit are very unique and I will give you many more tips for places to check out after for both food and drinks. The last stop is spectacular and you could spend all night there. Great adventure for groups, just as much as for individual travelers.
- For travelers under 18 years old, they will not receive any alcoholic beverage as the legal drinking age is 18 in Hungary. We replace the drinks for them with non alcoholic drinks.

Excellent introduction to Budapest's culture, history, nightlife, and food - A group of us arranged for the Ruin Pub Walking tour with Jeanette the night of our arrival as we had never been to Budapest before. What an ideal way to become familiarized with a new city! Jeanette is professional, witty, kind and knows so many details about her city (architecture, history, public transportation, popular events, food, culture). Her English is excellent. After our Walking Tour, which took us to a few unique pubs, Jeanette recommended a wonderful nearby restaurant with traditional Hungarian food which I'm sure we never would have considered without her help. I highly recommend Jeanette as a guide in Budapest.
