Amazing tour of St Stephen’s Basilica

The guide did a wonderful job explaining the history of the church as well as Hungarian history. The meeting was in front of the ticket office where she handled all of the tickets.

Amazing

Great experience! Tour was amazing and very informative. I think we could have stayed in there forever, but we had a later tour and they were closing!

Worth getting a guide. Spectacular design and architecture.

It's worth getting the guided tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the Basilica and the history surrounding it and the historical figures tied to it. Going up to the top dome and walking around gives spectacular views of the city.
