Interesting day in Budapest
Daniel was our guide and he was amazing!! With great explanations about hungarian history, food, architecture, folklore, and much more. We have visited the most important sights in Budapest, but he also led us into smaller alleys and streets to entertain us with urban legends. The history of Hungary was brought to life for us over the course of the day interlaced with discussions about university, night, and everyday life in Hungary. Very well done!
Response from the operator: Hi Sylvia! Thank you kindly for your time and effort for leaving this review! We are happy that you had fun on your tour! All the best,

+

+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
