This experience gave me and my boyfriend the opportunity to see thing in Budapest we could not have found on our own. There is loads of art, music, theatre and a whole boheme scene still alive that we were totally unaware of and we found incredibly! Our local host Krisztina gave us the key to connect with this and we also got loads of good tips for our last day in the city.

Krisztian was a great guide. He knew so much about the history as well as everything current, and wnjoyed making conversation. He introduced us to good food and drink, and really helped make our short visit to Budapest eventful. At the end of our tour, he even took time to help get us into a busy restaurant so we could continue our night. He showed us some amazing views and we got many excellent photos!

We had a delightful experience exploring Budapest and tasting some typical dishes. He was interesting and so knowledgeable. He was very interested in making sure we had the experience we expected, and made sure to pace our tour in a way that worked for everyone. We would happily have him guide us again!

Balazs was terrific! A wealth of information and very personable. He was patient with our myriad of questions and painted an incredible, easy to understand history of Hungary with a broad brush that ties everything together.
