Overview

A perfect way to learn about the history of Budapest, especially the Jewish / Party district, get a general understanding of the city while socializing with other travelers and have few drinks served to you on the way! Come join Me for a night out in Budapest. :) A truly Fantastic combination of history and beer ( and a surprise shot)! The three/four spots we are going to visit are very unique and I will give you many more tips for places to check out after for both food and drinks. The last stop is spectacular and you could spend all night there. Great adventure for groups, just as much as for individual travelers.
