This experience gave me and my boyfriend the opportunity to see thing in Budapest we could not have found on our own. There is loads of art, music, theatre and a whole boheme scene still alive that we were totally unaware of and we found incredibly! Our local host Krisztina gave us the key to connect with this and we also got loads of good tips for our last day in the city.

We had an amazing experience with our guide, Ange, during our trip to Budapest! Ange took us to some incredible spots, showcasing not only the popular attractions but also hidden gems off the beaten path. Her deep knowledge of the city's rich history truly brought Budapest to life, offering insights we would never have learned otherwise. She made sure the tour was both engaging and informative, with a personal touch that made the day even more enjoyable. We highly recommend Ange for anyone looking to explore Budapest.

Excellent food choices. We certainly felt like we were eating like a local. The historical stops between tastings were both relevant and interesting to us. Great time all around.
