“It was a nice way to see Bratislava. We didn’t have to worry about train times or parking. I had been concerned that one day wouldn’t be enough, but it was. George was very knowledgeable and interesting. We had a good day.”
Guided hike in Budapest’s Buda Hills from Széll Kálmán tér, through Normafa and two lookouts, with optional Hungarian lunch. Small group.
“Great guide. Share lots of knowledge about nature and you get to learn some fun facts. Amazing viewpoints with great panorama that you don't have to work too hard for. The walk is also suitable for kids and teenagers and for all fitness levels. I booked without lunch because it's not needed for the duration of the tour. Bring a water bottle because you can fill it up there. Lazlo has many more tours that can only be booked on his website. (of course without the 25% fee for this app). Find the organizer on Instagram if you need to get a first impression. I will book his other tours…”

We would do this again on our next visit.”

“Excellent tour to Vienna from Budapest. Solo tous with a guide can be awkward. But this tour was like spending a day with an old friend , who happened to be extremely knowledgeable about Budapest and Vienna. My guide, Tom S., was excellent. Great tour”
Private Budapest Danube Bend day tour with Esztergom, Visegrad, Szentendre, local lunch, hotel pickup, and a Danube cruise.
“This is a two part review. Nora, our guide was super as nothing was too much trouble to her. The tour without the return by river cruise represents a very overpriced tour. Our river return to Budapest was not possible (The pope’s visit was the given reason). We did receive a compensation offer of a night river tour of Budapest which we enjoyed. The lunch stop was good. The soup and dessert were very good. The key point though is the price of the tour which, I feel, was distinctly overpriced. If we had known that there was no return by river beforehand, we would have canceled. I think the…”

Budapest home-cooked Hungarian dinner with locals, 3 courses plus wine, hotel pickup, and private conversation in about 2 hours.
“We were picked up at our hotel by Atilla, the tour director, who took us to the private apartment of a young English-speaking Hungarian couple, both architects. We had a fascinating evening. Dinner was a "grandmother's recipe" and delicious. The couple was charming and gave us a real education on what it means to be young in Hungary today. Very informative and fun. These were real folks who let us into their homes and lives. Not to be missed.”
