    "We had a terrific afternoon with Eva. Eva is well versed in the history, and culture, and architecture of her city. A couple in our group had some mobility issue - no problem we used the tram, buses and underground. I don't think we left any stone unturned we visited so many spots important to Budapest and its history. Eva was informative and entertaining. We would highly recommend her and her services!"

    Outstanding Budapest tour

    "Zsuzsi was a wonderful guide for my morning in Budapest. She was so flexible and accommodating and got me to all the places I wanted to see. Besides being a lovely walking companion, she was a great source of history and background info about the city and Hungary. I would definitely recommend her if you're looking for a very enjoyable and customized experience."

    Incredibly educational tour!

    "I had an excellent experience with Gabor. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, particularly when it came to Hungarian history and the broader context of the Soviet era. What stood out most was his ability to connect complex historical events in a way that felt clear, engaging, and relevant, rather than overwhelming. He was also incredibly accommodating, tailoring parts of the tour to what I was most interested in seeing and learning about. It felt personal rather than scripted, which made the experience all the more meaningful. I came away with a much deeper appreciation of Hungary’s past and its place in European history. If you’re looking for a tour that goes beyond surface-level facts and really enriches your understanding, I highly recommend him!"

    Informativer Spaziergang durch Budapest

    "Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit mit Eva. Eva kennt Ihre Stadt und erklärt diese mit viel Begeisterung. Die Zeit verging viel zu schnell. Wir hätten noch viele weitere Stunden mit Eva durch Budapests Straßen gehen können. Die Tour empfehlen wir zu 100% weiter. "

    Castle District with Reka

    "Reka took us on a walk around the Castle District, including outside the Matthias Church, the Fishermens Bastion, and the Buda Castle. She is enthusiastic about her city and knows the history well. The tour was a good pace and gave us an opportunity to see the main sights on the Buda hill side. Thank you, Reka, for spending a morning with us."
