Overview of your Budapest tour

Discover the beautiful Castle District, that has been elevated among the World Heritage Sites. Located on the 1, 6 mile long Castle Hill by the 13th century the area became the second capital of Hungary, so since then it has been surrounded by a fortified wall. In the Middle Ages wealthy citizens lived there and it played a central part in our history. Over the last 750 years the district has seen Hungarian, German, Turkish, Austrian and so many other people. Each and every building has a story to tell - and I will love sharing them with you. My tour is fully customizable with personal touch, humor and has inside information, plenty of history to bring this magnificent city to life. Whether the Royal Palace or the Matthias Church you will enjoy all the sites, not to forget the superb views. Come along with me to witness charming architecture!
