What you'll do

Beautiful Budapest, you make it so easy to fall in love with you. Especially if it’s your first trip here, you’ll be weak at the knees. So to orientate yourself, discover the best ways to get around, and learn a local trick or two about where you could visit (and when, and how, and what will I eat while I’m there), join one of our local Budapest hosts.

You can pick their brains and ask 101 questions as you explore a pocket of the city together - along the way you’ll see some iconic sights like Buda Castle and the Hungarian Parliament Building, stop for a coffee and Chimney Cake or a beer, and get the scoop on making the most of your time in Budapest.

Our host just can’t wait to share their home city with you and it will only be a matter of time before you are feeling right at home!

Reviews

    Krisztian was absolutely amazing! Not only did he show us around Budapest, he shared his personal experiences growing up under Soviet rule in the 1980s and took us to little known locations for awesome photo opportunities. He taught us how to navigate the public transportation system, toured us through some beautiful buildings that we would not have seen on our own and gave us a wonderful history lesson about Budapest. He was so personable, engaging and friendly - a true joy to spend time with. If you are in Budapest, I highly recommend booking some time with Krisztian through City Unscripted - you will not be disappointed!

    Fantastic experience in Budapest. We got a tour of the highlights as we wanted spiced with the history of what made Hungary the country that it is today.

    Balazs was a first-rate guide, and his knowledge of Hungarian history was second to none. Despite the searing heat he cheerfully showed us all the main sights and we felt so much more in tune with Budapest when we said goodbye to Balazs. Would thoroughly recommend.
