Have done many free walking tours and this one didn't disappoint. The large group was efficiently split into smaller ones which all took a different route so we were not bothered by overlapping explanations. Accents are a little on the heavy side, but hey, there's no way I could do any kind of tour in a foreign language so bravo! More

A great way to get an overview of the city from a local. Good insight into the history of Budapest and as mentioned in previous posts, some very helpful tips on where to go/what not to see, how not to get ripped off by taxi's, etc. Only did the general tour, but would have liked to do the others as...

Did the general walking tour with André/Endré/Andrew, who was a good, friendly guide. Nice to get a sort of general overview of the city, particularly (of course) going across Chain Bridge and up Castle Hill. The tour felt slightly long for the amount which we saw - considering how big Budapest is, I suppose that's inevitable - but you can't... More

We did all three tours i.e. General, Communist and Jewish. The guides were highly knowledgeable and passionate. They shared personal experiences and recommendations. While in Bucharest, we tried out their version of free walking tour and the Budapest one trumps them. If you have only two days in Budapest, the General tour is a must because, you'll get an excellent... More

I was extremely impressed with this tour! Our guide (I think his name was Andrei) was really enthusiastic, knew a lot about all the historic sites and he was happy to answer all our questions. Not related to the tour, but I also liked his humour and his sexy Hungarian accent - I will definitely join the tour again if... More
