We were 15 minutes early, searched for 1 1/2 hrs and could not find any Viator sign for the Tour. We asked for a refund and was refused. Very , very disappointed!

Monica is a wonderful tour guide. She tells us how it is and does not make up stories. She guided us through the Matthias Church and leads us away from the crowd. We were able to see the whole Castle area pointing out historic and relevant sites. She led us down to the Castle garden and the Danube River. And she took us to the bus stop and helped us get our tickets.
Too bad that Buda Castle has a lot of reconstruction work going on. But all in all, we were pleased with our tour.
