    A magical tour and Miklos personalized our experience.

    Miklos was our guide. He brought his historical knowledge and excellent skills in engaging us in the tour. We would not easily have found some of the gems we were shown nor would we have appreciated the details in the same way without Miklos stories. I highly recommend the various cultural experiences he offers. Even in a heat wave! Thank you.

    Very interesting tour.

    We really enjoyed our tour with Barna. He helped us to understand a lot more about Hungarian history and we saw a good range of Art Nouveau buildings. Thanks very much.
