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 family had a wonderful tour of beautiful Budapest with Yulia. You can't really go to a city like this without getting the history and I don't think there's a better way to do it than a walking tour. Yulia went at our pace (which was important because we were with our nine year old) and was sure to cover the highlights we wanted to see. But wear your walking shoes, you will cover a lot of ground!

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.
