We spent an amazing day with George, exploring a huge variety of places in this incredible city. George was a great guide -- extremely knowledgeable, ready to customize the tour to our interests and abilities, and very friendly. I wish we'd done this tour on our first full day in Budapest because, in addition to orienting us to the city and providing a wealth of historical and cultural information, George was able to teach us how to get around on the easy and economical public transit system. This enabled us to see even more in a day than we'd dreamed possible, and would have been a great boost if we'd done the tour earlier in our trip! Thank you, George, for a wonderful day!

George kindly took us all over the city. We saw all the main sights, but more importantly we appreciated his local knowledge of Hungarian culture and history. He was pleasant and patient with our family. George's tour definitely made our stay in Budapest unforgettable.

Really enjoyed this tour. It hit all the iconic spots in Budapest and some of the less frequented ones as well. The tour was well planned and paced and covered a lot of ground. György is a great guide to work with. He was very helpful and went above and beyond what I expected. Very knowledgeable and friendly and fun to talk to. I would definitely recommend this tour and guide.
