A must do in Budapest

Family anecdotes on part of Budapest's history gave good insight of what it was like for some people in the city at that time. Personable guide - kept our attention throughout.

Un salto nel passato

Brigitte è stata la nostra guida di oggi. Gentile, sorridente, molto preparata, ha risposto a tutte le nostre domande. Veramente un bel tour. Ha saputo ovviare con una sosta provvidenziale al chiuso ad un piccolo acquazzone. 5stelle
