"Zsofia calmly introduced us to the heart of the Pest side of the city whilst providing some key history to put things into context.....we even found some local food sampling which we wouldn't have on our own!!
Highly recommend "
"Beata was an amazing guide. We booked a 3 hour your way tour and it was perfect. She listened to our wants and tailored everything to our needs. She noticed all the things we got excited over and found more of these sites to share with us. She was polite and very informative without giving us so many dates we wouldn’t remember. I highly recommend this tour! Thanks Beata for the perfect day.

Emoke’s passion for Budapest’s history and culture shone through in every story and recommendations. She went above and beyond to make sure our experience was tailored to our interests, and we left with a deeper appreciation for the city and history of Hungary.
The tour was well-organized, and we felt like we were exploring Budapest with a friend who genuinely cared about our experience. We highly recommend Emoke to anyone looking for a unique, insightful, and enjoyable way to discover this beautiful city!"

A great tour with a great guide!
"We loved our tour with Gabor. He was super easy to communicate with ahead of time and even re-arranged his schedule to fit us in on New Year's Eve! He's such a natural tour guide and you could clearly see that we weren't just on a tour that he had delivered a hundred times before, he was tweaking it "on-the-fly" to match our interests. He's got a wealth of knowledge and we would definitely book him again on a future trip to Budapest. Thank you so much, Gabor!"
"My mother and I booked a tour with Zsofia our first afternoon in Budapest. We loved all of our stops and the wonderful overview of the city. Zsofia gave us fantastic recommendations for the rest of our stay and we went back to central market the next day to have a little more sausage and cabbage strudel :) Cannot recommend enough."
"Together with Szofia we went onto an exciting walk around Budapest.
The tour was very well organized and perfectly tailored to my taste, despite the fact that multiple places were still closed due to the holiday season.
Szofia is a true local, not only well versed in the history of Budapest and Hungary but also very much involved into the modern life of a city and genuinely passionate in describing it.
We went together through more than a thousand years history of Budapest, starting from Hunns, crossing the Medieval, Imperial, and Soviet epochs, and coming up to the ruin pubs and the modern gentrification trends of today.
Not to forget the beauty of Danube and the little hidden gems such as a local street food or a sudden deja-vu feeling triggered by suddenly stumbling at a place I've seen in a spy movie, apparently shot in Budapest.
Thank you Szofia!"
"Istvan was a friendly and flexible guide. As we hadn't seen the Castle Hill (Buda) side of the city, Istvan was willing to change his usual tour to suit and it was informative and entertaining. I did ask how many rivets were in the chain bridge, which he didn't know, but he promised to find out as homework 😁. Great tour with a lovely guy."
"Tibi was an excellent guide. My original guide got sick and had to cancel, I was able to book Tibi for a food tasting in the Jewish area last minute. He worked with my schedule and we had a lovely time wondering around, eating and learning about this historical area of Budapest. I would highly recommend him and would book with him again the next time my travels take me to this beautiful city. "
