Budapest after sunset is even more beautiful (if that is possible!). When specific buildings, or parts of buildings, are illuminated, they look very different than in daylight.

“George was an excellent guide. He was extremely personable and welcomed all questions. He had an in-depth knowledge of the area and you could tell he genuinely loved being a tour guide. He showed us some fantastic hidden gems in the Jewish Quarter. A tour me and my partner really enjoyed and I would highly recommend! 10/10. Thanks George” (Jewish Quarter Tour)
“I went with 10 friends, and we all had an amazing time! George was so passionate and hilarious. Such an entertaining tour; 10/10 would recommend everyone to do this tour with George.” (Budapest Sunset Tour)
“George was a brilliant guide who very kindly took us around the city even though we were the only two people booked on the tour that day. Although we covered a lot of ground, the pace was perfect, we saw plenty of sights, and George shared lots of interesting history, anecdotes, and recommendations for our time in Budapest. We would highly recommend this tour!” (Best of Budapest Tour)
“George is an excellent tour guide who gave us sufficient time to explore the city, never rushing to move to the next location and coming up with interesting recommendations of restaurants, thermal baths, etc. He is highly knowledgeable and never shies away from sharing an additional detail so that the tourists can get the complete picture of the regional context of the times that the stories are set in. I’ve done 3 walking tours in Budapest and by far I found this to be the best. Highly recommended!” (Best of Budapest Tour)
“George was an exceptional guide! He loves the city and gave us the needed background to understand the history of the neighborhood and the meaning of each point of interest. A lot of cultural and social tips as well. It was one of the best tours I have been to. I give George my highest recommendation.” (Jewish Quarter Tour)
“I chose this walking tour simply because it was an evening walking tour as during the day the weather was unbearably hot. However, George happened to be the best tour guide I have ever met. He is a very interesting person with an immense amount of knowledge of Budapest and history in general. He makes the tour very personalized, has the knowledge to answer all your questions and he simply loves this city. I would recommend his evening walking tour to everyone. And I’d also like to add, this city is just beautiful in the evening with all the city lights, and it’s also much more comfortable to walk for a long time and listen to its history and interesting bits about it.” (Budapest Sunset Tour)
