A meaningful and moving tour

This was a very moving and meaningful tour experience. The guide, Daura, had much to share with us as a woman deeply rooted in her community and heritage. She not only shared much but asked the group great questions that had us all sharing and learning from eachother. I would highly recommend it!

Best tour in Budapest. And the guide outstanding

This is a wonderful tour and is really worth doing. It was especially enjoyable due to a knowledge and engaging tour guide, Benjamin. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour one of the best we have ever been on. He explained things well, made them come alive and was happy to field questions and explain further. All in all, a great tour
