Our tour guide Arash was excellent. He presented historical information with quizzes and pop culture references and made the tour very worthwhile. We learnt a lot about Hungarian history from him! Would highly recommend.

The guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the walk very interesting. It gave us a good overview of the city and helped us learn our way around and also gave us ideas on other things she suggested we visit.

Excellent introduction to landmark moments of local history, and also a good way to remember the highlights of Hungarian and European history relevant to the objectives seen during the tour.

Way more than what we expected. Not only did we enjoy the beautiful sights and history of Budapest, we also had so much fun riding the segways! Worth every cent.

Great tour for a high-level overview of the city's culture and history.
