My friend, our kids and I visited Budapest this this Easter and we were hosted by Lorinc and he was really awesome! We asked him to show us places that are not the main tourist sites and we discovered the best playground ever and a part of the city that had a tiny entry in our Lonely Planet Guide, so we would not have visited it and it would have been a shame! Lorinc was super nice and so knowledgeable so we really got great historical context, in a non-boring way. He also gave us great recommendations for places to eat and a secret teahouse that we really loved! 100% recommend seeing Budapest with Lorinc!

Julia led a fantastic walking tour that showcased Budapest’s rich history and iconic spots. It was delightful to discover those charming little sculptures scattered throughout the city. Her stories about each landmark were both captivating and informative, making learning about Budapest a breeze. The pace was manageable, though it did start to wear on us after two hours. She also introduced us to the city’s public transport, including the bus and the adorable yellow subway. I believe the fare was included, but I might have overlooked that in the tour details. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
