“Brilliant. Tamas was fantastic - charming, articulate, funny, knowledgeable and engaging. He clearly loves his city and that feeling is passed to the group. The wine and strudel tasting was a great treat. We only had a day to see Budapest and he covered a huge variety of information - made our day and we will definitely return and hire him again for one of the private tours - worth every penny and then some!”

“I can't say enough great things about Katlin Boldizsar, owner and operator of Wonderguides. I almost did not show uo because I was tired of the Christmas markets after arriving from Vienna the day before. This tour was SO much more than a Christmas market tour. Katlain gave me an extensive history inside the St. Stephans Basilica. This is beautiful structure with so much history. She has a history degree, and her grandmother taught history. I'm a history buff and she loaded me with all the history that I could absorb. We did some tastings in the Christmas market and did some more exploring in the city. I highly recommend…”
