Although you can also use this very clever, client oriented company to organize corporate events we only used them for a walking tour for the two of us. Before we left home we told them what our interests were and they ensured that we daw those things - several of which wouldn't have been on a traditional tour. We were picked up (on foot) at our hotel and walked through the residential area where our guide grew up and even saw her high school which was interesting. For long distances we hoped on trams or the subway. She took us to the Shoe Memorial along the Danube which was very moving. It's where the Nazis made Jews line up, remove their shoes and then they were shot in the back and fell into the Danube which carried their bodies away. We also went up the hill on the Buda side of the river and saw magnificent views from the Fisherman's Bastion and walked through some charming streets. I could go on and on but the basic thing is that this is a personalized, fun and informative experience that I highly recommend. Just be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes that can cushion your feet on cobblestones.

The best part of our trip was a 4 hour walking tour with Reka. It's really worth the money to be taken around town by an articulate and friendly local and have the city opened up for you. A great way to start a long weekend in town. You can tailor your trip, they ask you lots of questions before so that the tour suits you and the things you would like to do. We opted for art galleries, cafes and markets and had a great time - definitely we wouldn't have found these places without her.
There is no better way to get to know a city than to walk around it with a local. Our guide, Bogata, met us at the hotel and we walked and chatted to her for 4 hours. There were six of us and I had already been asked by email what our interests are and if there were any sights in particular we wanted to see. Budapest is a great city to explore and we got a real overview of Buda and Pest. We also had the best coffee and cake in a tiny cafe that we would not have ventured into without Bogata. I would highly recommend Underguide.
