Really had a great time! The tour was split up with one van for an Italian tour and one for English. Our guide (I forgot his name, Adam maybe? He was Romanian) was very knowledgeable. Enjoyed all of the spots, even though the overlook was super foggy and the basilica is under major construction. The lunch was extremely good- I expected so much worse. Make sure you dress warmly in the winter time- the outer locations were much colder and windier than Budapest was. Also, make sure you bring cash for bathroom stops (coins) and for a tip. Some of the vendors in places we stopped were cash only. My only minor complaint is I paid extra for the hotel pickup, not knowing where the tour started (it's at the Intercontinental Hotel). I was at the Marriot next door, and the "pickup" was one of the guides walking me over to the Intercontinental.

Unfortunately, the castle did not meet our expectations. In the different rooms you can hardly look at anything in peace, because there are just too many people (May). The garden isn't really spectacular either, but if you haven't collected enough steps on vacation, you can still take a longer walk there.

Segway tour was planned and executed really well by the tour agency. We were allocated Argen as out tour guide, who was really polite, helpful and agile in helping us us understand his culture. Argen was very friendly and helped us in navigating Budapest streets safely.

Just the two of us in the end so Andy turned into our private guide for a fascinating history lesson all about Budapest. Deffo take the e-bikes. Loved it

Our tour guide was quite knowledgeable and very friendly.
