Hi, I’m Balazs, your local host in the heart of Budapest! From the historical buildings that whisper stories of the past to the lively trams gliding alongside the Danube, Budapest never fails to amaze me. Whether it’s strolling through local markets, climbing up Buda Castle, or soaking in a different thermal bath each day, I love every moment spent exploring this city. Hungarian cuisine is one of my passions—there’s nothing quite like indulging in a strudel or a hearty local dish at a cozy spot. I also enjoy the city’s vibrant culture, from its iconic ruin pubs to hidden coffee houses, each with its unique charm. With a deep love for history, architecture, and Budapest’s unique vibe, I know the center and its neighborhoods like the back of my hand. Let’s discover the city’s treasures together and make your visit truly unforgettable!

    Balazs was a terrific guide giving us a great orientation to his city and taking us to all the places we requested. Very knowledgable and helpful showing us also how to use the public transit system for our next few days in Budapest.

    The tour was amazing. Our Guide Balazs was very knowledgeable, and really customized the tour based on our interests. If you have a short trip to Budapest planned and want an impactful experience go with this tour. Highly recommended! Only downside was on our confirmation the meeting place was different then that given to the guide. So make sure you connect with guide before your tour starts.
