Barbara was our guide and she was just perfect. First she found out what we would like to see and what we could tolerate on such a hot day. Then she took us at a reasonable pace through the city, stopping at various spots with wonderful insights. Barbara clearly loves her country and her city and we really appreciated the time she spent with us. We would certainly book again with Taste Hungary on our next visit and, hopefully, spend more time with the wonderful wines of Hungary.

My tour guide was Endre - charming, cheerful, punctual, well-travelled and with ridiculously good English. The private tours are customisable - we customised mine so much that the four hour tour took nearly six fascinating and enjoyable hours. We also “customised” coffee and cake into Villányi Franc!
You’ll cover a lot of ground on this tour but it’s not physically demanding thanks to clever tactical use of public transport.
Endre was particularly good at highlighting the subtle details and history that one would otherwise miss - particularly how the different epochs are represented in the architecture (often even within the same building).
