I was fortunate to be the only customer on the tour this day. Raymond was the guide. He was very friendly and welcoming, very informative and very interesting. His knowledge was excellent and added to my understanding of the history of Pest. I can say without doubt the tour added to the enjoyment of my stay.

Greg was a great guide. Very knowledgeable about all of the sights he brought me to see and true to his word, condensed 1000s of years of history into 10 mins. Was able to have good discussions with him about a lot of things and got to see Pest on a deeper level. 10/10 would recommend.

This was an excellent, informative tour of the Pest part of the city taking in many spectacular sights and landmarks. Our guide, Greg, was very knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer questions, and the tour went at a suitable pace that ensured we covered everything intended without feeling too rushed. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone arriving in Budapest to help get your bearings or for anyone passing through on limited time as it's a good way to see and learn a lot about the city in a short time.
