Traveler Reviews

We were met at our hotel by Adam on time. We took the subway to the Parlament building then walked to the river. When we came back to the Parlament building all of the christmas lights were on like he planned it. He had us on time to see the lighted trolley go by. We toured a few Christmas markets and Adam was very informative on everything he showed us. We were very happy with Adam and his tour and would recommend him highly.

I had a great time during this amazing Chrismas tour with the organisers. Our guide was very friendly and so knowledgeable. He took us to the most beautiful places in Budapest. The tour also included a mulled wine tasting which was fabulous. I also got to see some other points of interest which I was not expecting, hidden gems that only the locals know about. Overall the tour was much better than our expectations, thanks guys, I highly recommend it!
