"Dear Eva,it was an entertaining, very informative trip through Budapest that we were able to join for a few hours. Great guide – Dietmar"

"This tour completely shifted how we saw Budapest. Gabor was incredibly knowledgeable, but what made the experience stand out was how naturally he shared that knowledge through stories that made each street, mural, and hidden corner feel alive rather than just “another stop.” He was warm, easy to talk to, and very attentive to our pace and interests. Nothing felt rushed or scripted. Instead, it felt like exploring the city with someone who genuinely cares about helping you experience it, not just see it. Walking through the Jewish Quarter, we discovered a side of Budapest we never would have found on our own. But more than the places themselves, it was the context Gabor gave—the history, the culture, the local stories—that made everything meaningful. If you want to go beyond the typical tourist experience and actually connect with the city, this tour with Gabor is absolutely worth it."

"My Tour with Ivan could not have been better and definitely made a difference in my first visit to Budapest. He was warm, engaging, authentic and knowledgeable, but most importantly he was passionate about history. The tour I booked was for three hours and he ended up spending nearly 5 hours with me. I highly recommend!"

"Irene is amazing. Definitely book her tour, you will not be disappointed."

"We had a wonderful and interesting day with Eva in Budapest. We really enjoyed the historical sights with excellent facts and comments from our warm and welcoming host. We got all our questions answered and all the time we needed on the different locations, partly walking and partly guided through the tram/subway/bus system of Budapest. Thank you so much for helping us making the most of our short stay, Eva!"

"For our first time in Budapest we chose to have Eva as our guide and it was a great decision! Eva is knowledgeable, accommodating, very nice, and was able to really make our experience special. We worked together on the places in Budapest we should go to, and in the days leading to our trip she helped us book a few attractions that weren’t included in the guide, as well as restaurant recommendations for delicious local food. Thank you so much!!!"

"We enjoed the time with Eva very much. We saw a lot of interesting areas, learnt a lot about people and City and got very helpful information. Perfect start to our stay. Thanks Eva."

"Highly recommend the tour with Ivan. Learned a lot about history and how the cold war has impacted contemporary Hungarian history. Ivan has also shared comprehensive research and privately-held pictures from the 1956 uprising. "

"My husband and I both really enjoyed this experience. And my husband does not usually like tours or anything to do with tourist things as we come from a very touristy town ourselves. Zsofia showed us some really cool spots, told us some cool stuff, let my daughter paint her nails, helped us drag our daughter and her stroller on a pub crawl. Which isn’t for everyone but she didn’t seem to blink an eye. Was very appreciated as traveling with a young one is difficult sometimes but we still want to get in some fun for mom & dad. Highly recommend for beer lovers or even someone that wants to be shown a very cool night out in Budapest! Thanks Zsofia. in boca lupo!! Un bacio "

"If you are fortunate enough to engage Ivan for the Budapest Cold War Tour you will certainly be delighted. Our intention during our visit to Budapest was to develop a better understanding of the life of the average Budapest resident through the changes of WWII, Soviet occupation, the 1956 uprising and the subsequent 'cold war'. Our guide, Ivan, brought so many insights that can only be brought by a local. He customized our tour to include the topics we were most interested in. The city's monuments and buildings took on a greater meaning as we added history to each site. We left the tour feeling truly educated. Highly recommended for anyone who would like to be transported to the not so distant past of Budapest's darker history as well as Hungary's relationship to the modern world."
