Our guide was amazing. She gave us a proposed itinerary at the beginning but we had already seen some of those places so she totally changed the planned itinerary according to our interests. She was still so informative about all the places we visited even though non of it was planned. What a treat!!

What you learn in 3 hours, you would never find out in a weekend trip of sightseeing. Wear comfortable shoes as it's a LOT of walking & some is on uneven surfaces. Also you may opt to climb the 100+ steps from Danube to Buda Castle District. Worth it to have the one to one experience.
