Fantastic guided tour walk with the incredibly knowledgeable Ingrid! Really enjoyed it and it gave me a huge amount of information about the city to orient myself for my stay. Ingrid's knowledge was most impressive and the route she planned was really interesting and varied. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful, hospitable tour guide who showed us around both towns and gave us plenty of time to explore. The pick up and drop off from the hotel was a great value add too!

You were an amazing guide Michael H! Your passion for the area really shone through. We had amazing time during our trip to Budapest and Bratislava. Thank you again Michael 🥰
