Experience the best of
Budapest with Withlocals

"Explained in fluent English his love for Budapest and particularly Buda. A great morning with him Thank you Nick Didi & John"

"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! 😄 "

"We have done many, many tours, some are better than others. So, we have a good sense of what a great tour is versus an okay tour. This 5 hour tour with Gabor ranks with the best we have done. Gabor grew up with a father who is extremely proud of his Hungarian homeland. His dad loves to study the history of the region and imparted that passion to Gabor. As expected, Gabor demonstrated a thorough expertise in history, and had no problem shifting to and from any period, from Roman times to modern history, as we walked through time in Budapest. Gabor is also highly adept at understanding and teaching architectural styles. This was an area we didn't expect to love, but Gabor is so knowledgeable, and so enthusiastic, that we found this part of the walk to be right up there with the historical aspect of the walk. While we didn't express an interest in art, and Gabor tailors the walk to your particular interests, he was able to slip in quite a bit of interesting artistic expression found in the streets. I am certain thousands of people pass by this art every day, and never knowing it exists. Thank goodness for Gabor, because we saw street art that was absolutely fascinating and fun. Another surprise for us was his intimate knowledge of the Jewish Quarter, along with hidden spots in that district that we never would have found without him. We did not expect to say this, but that district turned out to be our favorite part of the tour. The quarter is now a trendy and lively neighborhood, and through his network of friends, he is able to access areas that are generally closed off to the public. In fact, later that evening, we were able to return and "party" in a "ruins bar". He was able to show us the venue during the day and tell us what time to return in the evening to avoid lines. We had a great time and when we left later that night, the line extended for at least a block and a half. As we finished up the tour, he gave us more walking ideas for us to explore for after he left us. He gave us info on what we would see and how best to navigate the streets. And we took full advantage! To give you a sense of how devoted to and passionate he is about his beloved Budapest, We actually went overtime by about nearly an hour! I'm not suggesting he will do that every time, but if you show the enthusiasm and energy to do more, and if he has the time to spare, I get the sense he is more concerned about you loving the experience, then him getting back home to whatever he has to do. Lastly, Gabor is a true gentleman who walked us right to the Metro stop and escorted us down to the train to make sure that we were going in the right direction and could get to the unguided and unofficial part of our tour without trouble. As you can tell, we think the world of Gabor. And we think you will too! My bottom line message to you is if he is available, get him. You will not be disappointed! "

"Emoke did a sterling job in making a very rainy day into an interesting, informative and thoroughly enjoyable three hour trip around the amazing sights of Budapest. She was a star in very trying conditions."

"Really good experience as a first time visitor in Budapest. Booked the 5 hour tour and it was a nice experience. Zsofia took the time to show me round the city with quite a few delightful detours. Cabbage strudel in one of the markets, the beautiful library, the Paris passage and the ruin bar in the Jewish district. And she was so kind, waiting with me for a while to get a taxi. Zsofia has a very chill calm energy which worked very well. The hours went by so quickly and very enjoyable. Would recommend spending the day with Zsofia to show you round. "

"Nick gave my daughter and I a great and comprehensive tour of Budapest. Really appreciated his perspective. We did a full city tour -- which is a long day. Nick was always conscientious and checking in to make sure we were feeling okay. Would definitely recommend a tour with him."

"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. Nikki Baker"

"Our experience with Emoke was truly exceptional! She was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and made every moment of the tour engaging. 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!"
