Hello, I'm Richard, a local host in the magnificent city of Budapest. I am fortunate enough to live in a city where the influences of West and East meet on the Danube River, and I am constantly in awe of its beauty and diversity. I have a deep appreciation for the art scenes and social life of Budapest, particularly in its bars. As a knowledgeable local, I am particularly familiar with the Jewish Quarter and the 5th District in Pest Center, and I am a true expert on the intricacies and charm of this area. Whether you're interested in exploring the rich cultural heritage of Budapest or simply want to experience the city's vibrant social scene, I am here to provide you with an informed and memorable experience. So come join me on a journey through the heart of this truly remarkable city.

Richard worked very hard to give us a unique few hours seeing Budapest. It was very pleasant and we learned a lot.

Richard set a pace that was comfortable for us. We started with the Jewish corner then did a large circle back to our hotel. He also took us to a great street that had many Hungarian food options. We saw the many highlights that are part of the Pest side of Budapest. He gave us great suggestions for seeing the other side.

Every place we visited had so much history and our tour guide, Richard, shared such valuable information about each one. It was a great experience to be guided by a local and we highly recommend this walking tour to learn about the highlights so you can then explore based on your interests. The visit to the market and the Parliament were my favorites.
