Good trip to Budapest, pick up was timely and the journey took about 3 hrs. We then had a local tour guide take us around for 2 hours before letting us roam on our own for the next 2 hours. It isn't enough time to visit any of the attractions but was able to give walk around the key tourist areas of both parts of the river and get a good overview of the city. Driver spoke good English and was great.

Beautiful city and really deserves several days but if you only have one day, we’ll worth the drive. Guide was a little too chatty and went off on random tangents but still provided good insights and history on the city.

Great time with this tour. Our tour driver Lukas was on time. He was knowledgeable and very nice. I would recommend this tour. Lots of free time to explore on your own.

had a really great time with some really interesting history, the tour guide really knew his stuff and spoke perfect english.

I recommend! fun self-guided tour, you progress at your own pace!
