“
A great city, full of warm and friendly people who are geared up for tourists. We were only there for a few days but the enthusiasm of our tour guide was first class – she went out of her way to make sure that we experienced as much as possible and walked us to places when we no longer had the coach. Budapest has such a rich history that it is impossible not to learn a little more than just your subject.
