Religious masterpiece with fantastic city views.

St Stephen's Basilica was a bit of a highlight attraction whilst visiting Budapest. The church itself is pretty impressive architecturally and physically from the outside but hits a bullseye for spectacle once you step inside. Quite eye popping internal decor and finishing displaying highest level craftmanship. Definetely worth paying the little extra to visit the top viewing area and luckily there is small elevator access to upper levels. Wonderful views over and 360 degree over the city. We opted to walk the spiral stairs down (less crowded waiting for lift).

The skip the line aspect...

The skip the line aspect of this tour was great. It was a good tour and the tour guide seemed very knowledgeable.

It’s okay

It was fine - the guide was very nice but nothing really special - information was very basic - value not worth the price
