“We had an outstanding experience on the underground cave tour beneath Buda Castle, and it was made truly memorable by our guide, Vicky. The caves themselves are fascinating — a winding network of atmospheric tunnels and chambers rich in history, mystery, and natural formation.

Her storytelling was clear and captivating, blending historical facts with local insight and just the right touch of humour. She made sure everyone felt...”

Tour Buda Castle Hill with a local guide, seeing Matthias Church, Fisherman’s Bastion, royal sites, war history, and Danube views.

“Great! Rita was wonderful and very informative. Kept us all engaged and provided snippets of details we wouldn’t have known without having done the tour. She was really good with the advice at the start of the tour and her patience as we all caught up was untouched! Hilly, so I appreciate entirely why people dropped out and I do think there should be more indication other than saying may not suit over 95 years… more maybe not suit for people who don’t like stairs 😂 Koszonom Rita!”
