Very friendly guide. Picked us up at prearranged destination and chatted to us for the whole trip. Very informative about the history of the area and answered any questions we asked. Chairlift was a very enjoyable 15 minutes up but twice as good coming back down where you could see the whole city. The tower itself, after a short walk was an experience on its own. A great 360 view, taking in the city and then the hills out towards slovakia. I would highly recommend, great to break the week up and get away from the hustle and bustle of pest.

We couldn't ask for a better guide, she was friendly, very knowledgeable, and passionate about the history of Budapest. It was very pleasant to listen to stories that made the history come alive, especially as she added a personal anecdotes. Thanks for a very memorable and enjoyable day.
