Hi! I’m Ágnes, your fun local host here in Budapest. Whether you’re into art, music, or food, there’s always something happening—festivals, exhibitions, concerts, and so much more. If you’re a foodie, I’ve got plenty of recommendations! As a vegan, I’ve explored all the best plant-based spots in the city, but don’t worry if you’re not vegan—I can show you amazing places that cater to every palate. I also love relaxing in a ruin bar with some local street food, soaking up the atmosphere. Plus, with my background in culture and the arts, whether you're interested in art galleries, live performances, or hidden local gems, I’ve got you covered. I’m easygoing and open-minded, and I love meeting new people and sharing the best of my city with them. Let’s explore Budapest together, dive into its rich history, and enjoy all the fantastic experiences this vibrant city has to offer!

My reviews
-
Agnes was an exceptional tour guide. She was knowledgeable and built the tour to our preferences, which we gave via a survey ahead of meeting her.

Agnes was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable of the history and current status of Buda/Pest and Hungary as a whole. She tailored the tour to what we wanted to see, which was Pest side only, and covered it all in the 4 hours we reserved. We recommend requesting Agnes and will seek her out when we return to explore the Buda side.

This was a well-led walk through some of Budapest’s lively neighborhoods. Guide Agnes quickly adapted her plans to match up with my interests, making it a very personalized experience. We sampled food, discussed local art, culture and history, and all in a relaxed way. This is a great way to experience a city for the first time.

I was pleased with how quickly Agnes got acquainted with me so she could craft a unique and personally valuable tour of essential highlights —not just with food but with visual arts, historical background and things unique to Budapest. It was a relaxing and tasty way to experience a lot of the city in a short time.
