I have used Fungarian services twice and I can really recommend them. This time I went with my daughter (11 years old) and Balázs organsied a specialized tour for her. I can really recommend using Fungarian also for children, Balázs was a truly excellent guide and my daughter really got to learn and have fun at the same time. And for a second time Miklós put together a special program for me. If you want something more than a stardadized tour, I recommend Fungarian.

My husband and I had a two person wine tasting (given to me as a birthday gift) and we had an AMAZING experience! Because of the COVID situation, private tasting are be offered at the group price and so we had the entire place to ourselves.

Our family of four with two teenage boys loved being run around Budapest by our friendly and knowledgeable guide Annie. Bikes were sturdy and well maintained and after a little trial ride we were ready to discover Budapest. We did the full “all inclusive” 3 hour tour which extended to almost 4 hours. There was so much to learn at each stop on the route and that time just flew away! Annie being the most cultured and classy young woman told us after 3 hours had passed that there was still 2 stops we could make and asked if it was ok we continued (that it would not interfere with our dinner plans). Of course we wanted to do the final stops! It was not asked for any additional money but of course we compensated for the extra time. It was the most worthwhile guided tour ever! Great fun specially for the boys! Beats sitting on a bus! Thank you Annie and E-Magine Tours!
