Hi! I’m Julia, a passionate local host in Budapest who loves sharing the city’s rich history and unique atmosphere. What fascinates me most is how Budapest was formed from Buda, Pest, and Óbuda, and you can still feel their distinct characters today. I’ve been creating personalized private tours since moving here, combining my love for walking the city, exploring its cozy cafés, and relaxing in its famous thermal baths. Whether you’re discovering the grandeur of Buda Castle Hill, wandering through the lively Jewish District, or admiring Kolodko’s hidden statues, I’ll show you Budapest through a local’s eyes, where every bridge, view, and story connects you to the city’s vibrant soul.

My reviews

The walking tour gave me an opportunity to see this beautiful city up close. The city seems well planned out where it gives you many areas for pedestrians to walk in areas to just enjoy the view and the beauty. A lovely city. The mini statues were nice touch to learn about the artist, Mihály Kolodko. It’s such a fun addition to the tour to try to find these mini statues throughout the city. Thank you, Julia I learned about the history, culture and the charm of Budapest. I hope to come back and spend more time.

Tom is a treasure in every way. His in depth knowledge of history both local and historical was a condensed course of study. His kindness and generosity was appreciated by our boys and us. He is fun, witty, careful, and just human. We would book a tour with him any time and surely will if and when we return to London.

Nic was a wonderful & knowledgeable guide for CDMX. He speaks many languages & is passionate about the city’s history. We would very highly recommend him as your guide for this beautiful city.

This was a great way to explore Hong Kong as a first time visitor. Dennis has great knowledge of the city, not just the main features but some more out of the way places. We were able to share insights into history, architecture, politics and Dennis's speciality - food. I certainly got to see and understand HK far better than I would have done on my own. Not only that, but Dennis kept in contact following the tour with helpful hints for travel, destinations, etc. One word of advice for potential clients: this is a walking tour and everywhere is uphill! We covered some 10 miles in the 8 hours we had together - you need to have stamina and decent walking shoes. Once you understand that, you will have a great tour of the city.
