English guided walk through Buda Castle courtyards and the restored St. Stephen's Hall, with city views, headsets, and royal stories.

“Rosie was a great tour guide. She explained a lot about history, tales, she was funny and friendly. We liked the experience a lot and we are happy we participated. The Buda Castle is for sure a place that needs that kind of tour and someone to give you information that mostly locals know about. Like myths and tales, not just history and facts.”
