Informative introduction to Budapest
Gillian_E
, Jul 2022
I had a guide to myself - Elizabeth was very informative. and knows the city extremely well. it was very evident that she, and Francis, our driver, were invested in my welfare and enjoyment. This was a great way to acclimatise myself with the layout of key parts of Budapest. The castle area was very interesting with great views.

What a great tour! Attila was informative, engaging, and friendly. The van was comfortable. We learned a lot about the city which we then applied to an “on our own” trip the next day.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
Thank you very much for choosing us to discover the city and also thank you for this superb rating you have left on TripAdvisor. I hope that you returned home with amazing experiences and we would be your chosen for your next tour in Budapest also.

I felt so privileged to almost had this as a private tour (only person). Much appreciated the tour still went ahead in this case. Stephen (aka the tall man)is very knowledgeable about almost every corner of the city and have answers to all my questions. It was really an enjoyable afternoon as first timer in Budapest. Thank you Stephen!

Not worse the money and the time.

The tour started 15 minutes later and finished 15 minutes earlier. It was in 2 languages - English and German instead of English. As a result the tour guide shorten his description of the visited sites for both groups. The next day we took the different tour and the new guide was surprised how little we were told on the previous one. I can’t blame the guide he was quite good but the planning and execution of the tour by agency or operator is very bad!
Response from Host , Mar 2022
Dear Mikhail_G,
Thank you for taking the time to bring this matter to our attention. Next time, we will put more emphasis on emphasizing that our tours are available in two languages, so we can sell them to you at a much better price. Your feedback is important to us to improve our service so we can deliver a better experience next time.
Therefore, allow me, if you are still in Budapest, to invite you to a similar Budapest City Sightseeing Half-Day Tour of course for free, from which you can see that it was a unique and non-recurring impression of us.
Kind Regards,
EUrama Tours Team

I was the only person that turned up for this tour at the time I booked and I was pleasantly astonished that it went ahead. I had my own personal tour guide for the afternoon! Laszlo was extremely friendly and full of knowledge and I'm very grateful that he proceeded with the tour with only one person on board! The sights were beautiful and he was very patient as I stopped to take pictures along the way and even took some pictures with me in them for me. I learned a lot about both Pest and Buda and the castle district and Fisherman's Bastion were just beautiful. Thank you to the two Laszlo's (tour guide and driver) for making my trip special :) This was my first ever solo trip abroad and I felt very at ease. From Karen (Ireland)

This was a large group bus tour. Ours was in English and also in Spanish which did make it a a little tricky to follow along sometimes. We did get off the bus for a few walk around a which was very nice. Our English guide didn’t have a flag, umbrella or sign to follow along but did manage to keep track of our large group pretty well. Time was given for photos and lots of background information was offered. Overall very good.

Unsere Stadtführerin Ingrid hat die ganze Zeit der Tour ihr Wissen über Budapest weiter gegeben. Es war hervorragend und auf alle Fälle weiter zu empfehlen. Man hat in 3 Stunden die wichtigsten Punkte gesehen.

If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
