Throughout the day she ensured to keep us engaged with lots of information and trivia. The bus was very comfortable and we had some tasty preset lunch as well. The tour was well paced and not rushed so we could enjoy the different halts. Would definitely recommend it if you have a spare day in Budapest”

She was so kind to us, and went the extra mile to drop us at St. Stephen's so we would not miss the organ concert at 5:00 PM. She is a great tour guide, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend spending the day with her.”
