 "The best part of this tour for me was the insights that Daniel was able and willing to share. While it was a history tour, Daniel's knowledge about his country far exceeded any simple history and the ability to meet and speak with a Hungarian made the tour so much better."

"Nandor is the guy to ask about everything and I am sure he will have a story for it! We had a great tour, he walked us through Buda Castle and told many interesting things about Hungarian history and culture. We even didn’t notice that it has been for more than 3 hours. Highly recommended!"

 "Barika was my guide - and we instantly bonded! We had a great time on our tour, sharing personal stories, but also immersing ourselves in the deep history of the Buda Castle, Fisherman's Bastion, and hidden secret surprises that I can't reveal. We also had the opportunity to stop for a delicious refreshment and relax in the sun."
