Great tour! Very authentic view of the city with interesting historical facts and context all along the way. Miklos is a excellent guide who is local, knows all the ins and outs of the city, and made it a really unique experience. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Budapest who is looking for something personalized and not commercial.

Daniel met me at the hotel promptly. His English very good, no problem at all. Very energetic young man and shows his love in his country unapologetically. I got insight from locals that would be impossible to understand from a guide book. I’d recommend them if you are in Budapest for the first time.
