Our guide took the time to really explain Budapest without rushing us and made good use of her ipad to show images from history that contrast the city today. The tour was very worthwhile.

We couldn't have asked for a better start to our trip than the Downtown Pest tour with Ballint. Great guide, informed, good company, small group made it easy to have conversations not just a lecture. We knew we made the right choice in 10 minutes flat. We only wished we had a chance to take his communist tour too.
