Very good, just not super well-indicated because there was no one to guide us as mentioned in the description, but it's easy enough to find on your own.

Our guide was beyind excellent. Her knowledge was not only detailed but it prlewenred in a highly interesting and engaging manner. We learnt so much about the history and trials and tribulations of the Basilica. Our guide also answered an enormous amount of questions, patiently clarifying or adding supplementary information. One of the best guides we ever experienced. Thank you.

Christine was a great tour guide and shared a lot of information. The drive through the city was wonderful, everything went smoothly and on time despite the rush hour traffic. It was a lot of fun and the advance organization was also very good.

Educational. Easy walking with short distance. Liked the historical points. Guide was soft spoken but nice. Called me on my cell phone when I was not at meeting point so I could join her and group which I appreciated. Enjoyed the elevator to top for panoramic view

It’s one of those places that’s much more impressive in person than in photos ❤️ St. Stephen’s Basilica is incredibly beautiful. From the outside, it’s majestic, but when you step inside, you simply don’t know where to look first. So many details, gold, marble, frescoes, and mosaics—it all looks very opulent and, at the same time, truly atmospheric. I especially loved the feeling inside—it’s somehow very peaceful and majestic at the same time. And if you go up to the observation deck, you’ll be treated to a gorgeous view of Budapest 😍 It’s definitely a must-see if you’re in Budapest. Even if you’re not really into churches or architecture, this one will definitely leave an impression. ✨
