“Rosie was a great tour guide. She explained a lot about history, tales, she was funny and friendly. We liked the experience a lot and we are happy we participated. The Buda Castle is for sure a place that needs that kind of tour and someone to give you information that mostly locals know about. Like myths and tales, not just history and facts.”

“Pietr was an amazing storyteller and an excellent guide. It was only his 5th tour of all time but it was very well done. He made sure we were entertained all the time with many stops to tells us interesting facts and spooky tales while also making sure everybody was safe in the budapeste snow. Very good experience overall. Be aware you have to climb stair all the way to the top of the castle but we were givwn plenty of time to do so.”
