It was great! I loved the personal tour and more intimate experience with a smaller group. Noémi was an excellent guide, and I enjoyed getting to hear her explanation of Hungarian history, as well as her own personal opinions on specific aspects of that history. When learning about history, there will always be times that we must apply our own discernment, and I appreciated Noémi’s perspective as both a historian and native of Budapest.

My dad loved the tour, he raved about it and felt he saw so much of Budapest. He really enjoyed the guide, he didn’t have cash to give a tip and asked me to give a tip via PayPal because he was so committed to giving him a tip because of how much he enjoyed it

Really interesting tour, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and finding out the history behind Hungary and Budapest really added to the enjoyment of our trip. The social stop for a coffee/mulled wine is a fabulous idea too, that really added to the tour. Would definitely recommend.
