Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We spent a great morning with Zsuzsi, she took us to some of the main sites, told us some history and made some good recommendations for us. She was enthusiastic, warm and professional."
"Our Culinary Kickstart Tour: Budapest with Anna was the perfect food introduction to the city. From the very beginning, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable but what truly made the experience stand out were the stories she shared along the way. They gave so much depth to each stop and made the tour feel personal rather than scripted. We began at the Great Market Hall, where we had our first bites of traditional snack foods and, with Anna’s help, picked out the best paprika to take home (which would have been overwhelming to do on our own). From there, we hopped on a tram to the Jewish Quarter, which added a local, everyday feel to the experience. Along the way, we enjoyed a delicious lineup of Hungarian flavors — a sausage with mustard, fresh bread, and pickled veggies paired with a Fritz, a traditional lángos that was absolutely worth the hype, and even fruit brandies made from pear and apricot. We ended with a chimney cake to take home, which was the perfect sweet finish. What really stood out was Anna’s adaptability. She was attentive to our pace and flexible with the schedule, making sure the experience felt relaxed and tailored to us. If you’re looking for a way to not only taste Budapest but truly understand it, this tour with Anna is an easy recommendation. It’s the kind of experience that sets the tone for the rest of your trip."
"We arranged a tour with Zsuzsi the first day we arrived. She is a great professional! We walked through main central landmarks, learned historic background. Zsuzsi listened to what are our interests are and very professionally advised on continuous self exploration of the city. My teenagers were extremely happy with her indulging and interactive storytelling! I highly recommend taking a tour with Zsuzsi! "
"Gabor is a real guest and it is hard to find somebody so well prepared and engaging. Definitely a great experience thank to him "
"We had a fantastic time with Gabor today in our visit to Sisi’s summer palace. We really appreciated Gabor’s hospitality, knowledge and conversation. His exposure to both US and international environments added perspective to his ability to explain the history of this area. He had an engaging personality so having a private tour added great value to the content of our conversation. We highly recommend both this tour and Gabor as a tour guide. "
"Spent four hours touring Budapest with Zsuzsi and glad we did! She was informative and a pleasure to be with. Her enthusiasm was easy to see and we would recommend her without hesitation. Thanks again!"
"Nicholas, was an engaging and helpful guide to our family in Budapest. Great local knowledge with cultural and political insights (especially given the momentous election)."
"We had just arrived in Budapest and our guide Réka kindly came to meet us at our hotel. She is a lovely English speaking student with an interest in history. We walked around and Réka pointed out historical buildings whilst giving us an opportunity to try different local foods at traditional restaurants. We started with Pöttyös, a snack treat from Réka’s childhood which reminded us a lot of something we have in Sweden too. Then we had traditional Goulash soup, Chicken Paprikash, stuffed cabbage, mixed vegetables and local beer. There was a lot of food as we then went on to have different cakes in a beautiful café and Lángos and Palinka shot. It was a great walk with happy chatty guide Réka. We highly recommend this tour to try out the tastes of Hungary in Budapest. "
"Reka took us on a great walk of the castle district. She was fun and engaging and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with her"
"Adam is very accommodating and knowledgeable. Our tour was perfectly paced, hit the highlights as requested, included some lesser known gems/view points, and he had amazing recommendations to share for after the tour. I would 100% book with Adam again. "
