A wonderful cycle around Pest.
"Gabor was a wonderful host on our cycle tour in Budapest. He interacted well with us and was able to provide us with interesting information that he knew would appeal to us. His knowledge of the area is excellent. Thanks! "
"Nicholas is a great guide! He took my grumpy 12 year old son and got him to enjoy learning about Hungarian history. He included funny anecdotes as well as important dates while showing us some beautiful sites. Even got our son to ride the subway! Thank you very much Nick, we will be back! You missed one of the best bits after the tour ended, where the boys could not remember where they parked the car for an hour. It was all good in the end, they made it home.😊
We highly recommend Nick to every one!"
"If you want a thoughtful, very articulate, comprehensively bi-lingual (Hungarian/English) tour guide Nicholas is your man. He cares deeply about Hungary, yet he does not shrink from explaining some of the very sad chapters in its complex past. He is simply an excellent guide and a fascinating conversationalist. We thoroughly recommend him."

Exceptional Budapest experience witg Gabor
"My friend and I wanted a walking tour to experience Budapest, its past present and more. Gábor is such a cool and knowledgeable person that he tailored the tour to fit our needs. We ended up traveling the length and breadth of Budapest through his eyes, talking about history, culture and architecture of this spectacular Central European city! "
"Nicholas met us at the train station and then we used public transport and walking to see the highlights of Budapest. Although a Budapest resident his entire life, Nicholas speaks flawless English due to having an English father. Nicholas not only shows the top spots but also included a visit to the last remaining part of the Jewish Ghetto from WW2. He also introduced us to real Hungarian food. A top notch guide. Recommended highly."
"We did the 3 hour private walking tour and were extremely,y pleased! András was terrific, showed us everything we were wanting to see and provided a lot of very useful information for the rest of our stay. He was very personable, exceptionally knowledgeable and his English was excellent, very easy to understand "
"Gabor is a very experienced guide with a vast amount of knowledge about history, architecture and politics. We know the city quite well but he still has found a way to tailor the tour to our interests and entertain us with a lot of stories we hadn’t heard of before. "
