Hi, I'm Sándor, a local writer deeply in love with Budapest. I have published five books, including one on the famous Hungarian ‘pálinka’. Now I'm looking to share my knowledge with you in a more personalized way. I always know where the best jazz is played - and in Budapest, it's never in the big concert halls. I can show you the coziest hidden wine bars, and tell you everything about the best local artisan wines. If you're more into the craft beer revolution, you are also in the right place in Hungary's capital. My main interests are in science history, sports, music, movies, literature, and languages. I hold a degree in cross-cultural communications. My approach is connecting the dots from past to present, showing you the people and events changing the world and our contemporary life. When it comes to the best stories, you should always trust the guy with grey hair. When it comes to the best food and drinks, you should always trust the guy with the big tummy. This latter didn't fit on the picture :-)

    We had a great time traveling with Sandor to see Szentendre. He is very knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommend him.

    Sandor was an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable. He took us through non-touristy as well as popular streets and sights of Budapest, and introduced us to must-try Hungarian food and drinks in quaint cafes and bars, all the while sharing with us insights, stories and anecdotes which made the walking tour that much more interesting and enjoyable. We saw and experienced so much more of Budapest with Sandor than we would have otherwise. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
