"Gabor is a terrific guide. Having lived in LA for 12 years Gabor is a perfect guide for Americans. Knowledgeable in history and architecture his Romanian Hungarian roots give him special insight into the region and its history. Very easy to understand. Full of good stories. And He was considerate of my 72 year old legs. Recommend him with enthusiasm and without hesitation. "

Andras was the best!
"We had an excellent time with Andras and learned so much about Budabest and Hungary's past and present. It was like touring the city with our best friend. From the very first contact from Andras he was responsive and very flexible and provided us with options to sell t on our own. He also made sure that we knew how to use the Metro to get to our activies we booked for the next day. You could tell how much Hungary meant to him. The only thing we wished was different was that we would have liked to have spent more time with Andras. We hope that if he ever makes it to Northern California, he will look us up. "
"We did a food tour with Beata, and she was absolutely fantastic. She took us to a wonderful mix of unique hidden gems and classic local spots, each offering delicious and authentic food. We had such an enjoyable time—Beata is incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and made the experience both fun and informative. Highly recommend!"
"We did The Highlights and Hidden Gems of Budapest tour.
Anna was absolutely incredible so giving of her time passionate and knowledgeable about her City of Budapest. Anna was informative held our interest but also made it fun and shared interesting facts and stories.
We will have wonderful memories.
We highly recommend Anna.
Thank you Anna!"
"We had the most wonderful afternoon with Andras, eating our way around Budapest. Andras was the perfect choice for us - we have an 18 year-old fascinated with history and politics so Andras’ knowledge and expertise was just what we’d hoped for. He made us feel like we were just friends he was showing around his city, and we were more than happy to be guided by him. Andras took us to the best spots and we loved every one - he even managed to get a picky 13 year old to try everything (almost). Thank you Andras! "
"We had such a great evening with Beata! She was so informative and fun plus she introduced us to so many delicious Hungarian dishes and beverages. We enjoyed our time with her so much!!"
"We had an incredible time on this walking tour of Budapest! From start to finish, our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the city. They brought the history and culture of Budapest to life with fascinating stories and insights that you just can’t get from a guidebook.
We explored hidden gems as well as iconic landmarks, and I appreciated how the pace was comfortable and the atmosphere super friendly. It felt more like walking around with a local friend than a formal tour.
Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Budapest – it gave me a much deeper appreciation of the city and made my trip unforgettable. Thank you for such a memorable day!"
"Andras met us at our hotel and was warm and friendly. He listened to what we’d seen the previous day, and adapted brilliantly to suit us and help us get the most out of the time we had with him. He was so full of great history and observations, as well as wonderful amusing anecdotes. We were full of questions, and he answered them all fully and thoughtfully. All 4 of us were blown away by the tour, and felt a little bereft and rudderless when he left! Absolutely wonderful, and we thoroughly recommend him!
Thankyou Andras! 😄
