Tour Important Information
Unfortunately visiting the Panorama tower is still not suitable for wheelchair users. To reach the Panorama terrace there are 2 elevators: a bigger one in the lower part and a smaller one in the upper part of the building; instead of using the second smaller elevator you may climb about 150 steps to reach the top of the dome, in case there are too many people waiting for the elevator
But the church itself is is accessible with a wheelchair as well, please let me know in this case we can visit only the beautiful interior of the Basilica and the price will be lower.
The church is closed on some special occasions like wedding ceremonies Please wear clothes appropriate for a church (no sleeveless tops, short skirts or shorts); men should uncover their heads It is forbidden to eat, drink, or smoke in the church area

“Chesky Krumlov”
Excellent guide. Pick up was a little late but he apologized and we were on our way. Nice that they gave us a little break in the middle of the drive. Quite a few stairs to climb at the site - hard on my bad knee- but the guide was patient. Beautiful location and such interesting stories about the history and people who lived there over the centuries. Would highly recommend this tour. Well done!!

Dear Susan, Thank you so much for your kind review! It sounds like part of this lovely feedback might be from another tour you took, but I’m still so happy we had the chance to meet here in Budapest. You were such warm and kind people, and it was a joy to spend time together. I’m glad your trip went so well, and I hope to see you again one day for more adventures in our beautiful city! Warm regards, Monika

“Outstanding experience with Monica”
Monic communicated well ahead of the tour, picked us up from the hotel right on time and spent well over an our above and beyond the time frame we have agreed on. Monica is a wealth of information and she shared it kindly and sensitively and with enthusiasm that made the tour just completely pleasant. She offered us a tour that covered all the sites we wanted to visit, yet was exceptionally flexible willing to take changes to the itinerary at any time during the day. She is clearly an expert in the history, economics and culture of Budapest and we recommend her wholeheartedly.
