Hi, I'm Sándor, a local writer deeply in love with Budapest.

I have published five books, including one on the famous Hungarian ‘pálinka’. Now I'm looking to share my knowledge with you in a more personalized way. I always know where the best jazz is played - and in Budapest, it's never in the big concert halls. I can show you the coziest hidden wine bars, and tell you everything about the best local artisan wines. If you're more into the craft beer revolution, you are also in the right place in Hungary's capital. My main interests are in science history, sports, music, movies, literature, and languages. I hold a degree in cross-cultural communications. My approach is connecting the dots from past to present, showing you the people and events changing the world and our contemporary life. When it comes to the best stories, you should always trust the guy with grey hair. When it comes to the best food and drinks, you should always trust the guy with the big tummy. This latter didn't fit on the picture :-)

I am an outgoing person who likes meeting new people and travelling.

I was originally born in Ukraine. I've been living in Budapest for almost 10 years. I love the city and I am happy to show you around. I was involved in social activism, and now I am volunteering. Therefore if you need an insider's view on life in Budapest, I can share it with you.

I'm a big fan of the alternative and underground cultural life and nightlife scene of Budapest.

My passions are the fantastic street art scene of the city, the funky ruin bars and underground bars, design and vintage shops, small galleries, street food, bookshops, and coffee shops. I'm the founder of an alternative sightseeing company where I lead walking tours that focus on street art and off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods, so I'm out exploring this amazing city every day.

Hey there!

I'm Marcio, your local host here in Budapest! Hey there! I'm Marcio, a passionate observer of the subtle dramas that unfold in every corner of Budapest. I design walking experiences that feel like stepping into a film — where the streets become scenes, strangers become characters, and every detail holds a story. I’m drawn to the invisible threads that connect architecture, memory, and emotion. My tours are more than sightseeing — they’re story-hunting adventures. We might follow the footsteps of revolutionaries, uncover the secrets of a crumbling palace, or step into a quiet square filled with the echoes of the past. What I love most about Budapest is its lively nightlife. The cosmopolitan vibe truly makes it a melting pot of cultures and experiences. Whether it's diving into the diverse options of talented artists or unwinding in bars with live music, there's never a dull moment. I invite you to see the city not as a tourist, but as a co-creator in a living screenplay. Together, we’ll slow down, observe, and tune into the beauty and complexity hiding in plain sight. Let’s walk through the story. Scene by scene.
