5.00If you haven’t considered a guided tour, then please give this one a go. Buda is beautiful and we were capably guided around it by the ever patient and knowledgable Sophia. We learned a lot about Hungarian history and culture amidst some stunning buildings and townscapes.
Fabulous experience, loved Budapest.
