It was cold and rainy and Gabriel did his best to keep us comfortable plus show us some sites past by the group tours. Like the diver statue and the moon rover.
Wonderful day trip. Excellent guide and comfortable travel. Perfect amount of historical info provided by the guide.
Way more than I expected! Gabriel was very knowledgeable and guided us through the day. And because of his license we were able to skip the lines. We would not have been able to see what we did without him and our time constraints.
Gabriel was a wonderful knowledgeable guide who communicated us very well in advance of our arrival and help customize our full day in Budapest. Would highly recommend him for any future needs, he spoke very good English for us.
We had a wonderful time yesterday with our guide, Gabriel. His love for Budapest and Hungary was infectious! We really enjoyed our trip and time with him. He shared so many information on Budapest’s history and culture. I really recommend this tour to anyone who is coming to Budapest. Thank you Gabriel for making our visit in Budapest unforgettable!
We had a wonderful day yesterday with Gabriel. His love for the country and city was infectious! He is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend everyone to book this tour if you want to explore the city and hear about the history of Budapest as well as Hungary. Thank you so much Gabriel for showing us the beauty of Budapest!
Gabriel was an excellent guide. He was very informative regarding Hungarian history and current life. The tour definitely helps you understand Budapest and was adjustable to our wishes. I would highly recommend.
Gabriel was wonderful. Knowledgeable and kind and fun. We really enjoyed every moment and he also did things that were not super obvious and every guide knows. Loved it!
Highly recommend to first timers to Budapest or those who don’t speak Hungarian - there were so many historical points of interest that we would have missed because lack of prominent signage. Gabriel was super informative and able to pack a lot of historical and practical information into a relatively short period of time. Great way to cover a lot of ground, since Budapest is quite large. Completely customizable. Super comfortable ride. Thanks Gabriel!
Melinda was excellent, brand new Mercedes van, well designed itinerary, we explored Budapest in 8 hours, everything was perfect. The Italian speaking guide was very professional and adorable.
Excellent experience that I would recommend to everyone who plan a short trip in Buda. Our guide Dora was so professional, knowledgeable, patient, polite throughout the 8 hours trip. He has made Budapest a wonderful experience for us and well presented the city.
Gábriel is a great and knowledgable guide. He arrived promptly to pick us up with a clean comfortable car. We enjoyed our day with him very much.
Amazing tour! Gabor was an incredible guide, with lots of knowledge, kind and makes the day totally worth it. We loved every second of it!
Gabor provided an extremely comprehensive and memorable full day tour of major sites on the Buda and Pest sides, we loved it. He has deep knowledge of Budapest, Hungarian history and culture, and a talent for explaining it simply in a relatable style. I peppered him with questions throughout the day, about Hungarian history, society, food etc. and learned so much. Also appreciated were the special accommodations. To spare us from the heat wave Gabor kept the car's AC going continuously, and stayed attentive to my mom's mobility challenges, matching our modest walking pace and bringing the car to get us when parked distantly. The tour was absolutely worth it, we couldn't have covered so much territory independently, nor appreciated it all to the same degree. At the end of the tour he marked down a number of solid restaurant and other site recommendations on our map, which we followed for the remainder of our stay in Budapest.
Communication before the tour was great and we got quick replies to our questions. Gabor was the best driver and Ferenc was a great and very knowlegeable tourguide. We had a wonderful tour in a very nice, spacious clean and airconditioned car. We had a whole day tour and saw most of the highlights from the outside. We were very lucky to have the most excellent weather so all together we had the most lovely and memorable day. Thank you Gabor and Ferenc, we absolute can recommend you.
We were a family of four but from three corners of the earth (USA, Hong Kong and Sri Lanka). Dora is very knowledgeable about places and history, throughly pleasant, took us to all the right places and speaks impeccable English. We recommend him stroingly. However we do not think highly of the restraunts he recommends - too pricy or a ripoff. (Professor Kumar David, Hong Kong)
A perfectly planned tour that allowed us to enjoy Budapest in a short time (8 hours). We visited the must see places accompanied by a charming and knowledgeable good looking Hungarian man. He provided tons of interesting information and he took us to a nice restaurant for a Hungarian lunch. Book with him and you will have a wonderful day!
My wife and I visited Budapest for the second time in two years last Dec. The first trip was a short day long excursion from Vienna in 2017. We did a day long tour with Gabor, and he was so knowledgeable (he was born and raised in Budapest) about the city's rich history, both the good and bad. He made sure to show us so many different aspects of the city and shared some of his personal experiences of living in it during the communist era and afterward. Hearing about what life was like during that difficult time and immediately after gave us so much more perspective on the places he was showing us. After that experience, we knew we wanted to return for a longer stay, and when we booked another trip a year later, Gabor was the first person we contacted. This time we had several days, so we opted for a half-day tour to see all the sights we hadn't on the last trip, and we also booked the four hour wine tour with him the following day. Gabor delivered great tours again. We were able to see some of the sights we didn't have time for the year before, including the Dohány Synagogue, which is the largest in Europe and a must see. The wine tour was also wonderful. We had no idea that Hungary had such good wine, but they really do (and that is coming from a couple of wine snobs). He was able to arrange the tour two days after Christmas, which was hard to do as most people are still on holiday. It felt like saying goodbye to an old friend at the end of our last tour. He is such a knowledgable and kind tour guide and an all around great person. You cannot ask for better! Highly recommend him to anyone visiting Budapest as he is our favorite tour guide in the world!
We were only one day in Budapest. How lucky we were to take this one day city tour. We learned a lot and had lots of fun with our Guide. Highly recommended. Thanks a lot Gabor!
