Hello there!
Discover more about meI'm Lőrinc, your friendly Budapest host, and I'm all about kindness, warmth, and a dash of adventure. What captivates me most about this enchanting city are the cozy vibes of its small streets and squares – stepping into the past amidst magnificent architecture and the city's unique natural charm. As an avid explorer, I find joy in discovering hidden gems and meandering through parks, letting the alleys unravel their tales. My deep connection with Budapest goes beyond the surface; I'm your go-to guy for a journey through the city's rich history and Hungary's vibrant culture. With a global perspective on history and cultures, I love sharing intriguing parallels between Hungary and other lands. Let's make your Budapest experience memorable – together!
Lőrinc was an exceptional host for my 4-hour Budapest tour. He was knowledgeable, warm, and incredibly welcoming. I felt safe, as if I were exploring the city with an old friend. His English is excellent, and his worldly background, having studied in Japan and India. He was flexible and very agreeable, and after getting to know your preferences, he took the lead to make the most of the tour time. We visited as many attractions and sites as we could in our short time! We explored the city by public transportation, visited historic landmarks, enjoyed beautiful views, and covered so much ground in a short time. Because it was a private tour, we moved at our own pace and tailored the itinerary exactly to what I wanted. Lőrinc was flexible, patient, and always accommodating. I only had one day in Budapest, but thanks to him, I was able to see all the major attractions with clear, insightful history at each stop. I could not ask for a better way to explore the city. If I was doing this by myself, I wouldn't have been able to get from point a to b as quickly, and without the small details he was able to point out. It was perfect. Highly recommend! Thank you Lőrinc!!!
Show moreLőrinc was a fantastic guide. He led us through his city by foot and by public transportation. He was a wealth of knowledge about Budapest and its history. He even delivered us to one of his favorite restaurants for dinner (which was fantastic).
Show moreLoved this tour at night - great to see both day and night! Lörinc was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and my husband enjoyed getting deeper into the history discussion. Got around town and saw so many things! So worth it!! 10 stars!
Show moreFantastic tour! Knowledgeable guide with so many details to share!! LOVED our tour. Thank you!!

Agnes tailored the tour to our liking, and went to a bookstore/cafe and gave us time within the Bohemian part of Budapest to explore. She knew a lot of historical context and was able to provide a local's perspective on the ruin bars, advent, and more. She was not offended when we chose to cut the tour a little short so we could have lunch by the church and walk the market.
Show moreAgnes was amazing! She was personable and customized the experience fully for what I wanted to accomplish. By the end she felt like a friend. Really enjoyable!
Show moreMy walking tour with Agnes exceeded my expectations. It was a great balance between history, culture, and her own experiences, which is what I indicated my preference was. She was thoughtful about making the most of my time because I was only in Budapest for one day. Overall, it was a great introduction to the city and I was able to see and experience more than I ever could have on my own. I would absolutely recommend Agnes to anyone looking for a personalized tour!
Show moreExcellent way to see the city in a short period of time while prioritizing the sights and culture most important to you.

Hi, I'm Sándor, a local writer deeply in love with Budapest.
Discover more about meI 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 :-)
He really cared what we wanted to say. He was very knowledgeable on the history of Budapest and my husband really enjoyed that. If you’re in Budapest, I would highly recommend you do it tour with Sandro.
Show moreSandor was a great walking tour guide. He was accommodating with my itinerary and provided helpful tips and routes for the day.
Show moreWe literally only had 5 hours so rather than wonder round on our own not really know where we were going or looking at we decided to do the tour. So glad we did. We got to see what we needed, understood what it was, got to ask questions and chat about other things and best of all it was just us, no large groups of others. Would definitely recommend. Our guide Sándor was very knowledgeable.
Show moreVery nice tour and he took us to a fantastic strudel shop!

Hi!
Discover more about meI’m Julia, a passionate local host in Budapest who loves sharing the city’s rich history and unique atmosphere. What fascinates me most is how Budapest was formed from Buda, Pest, and Óbuda, and you can still feel their distinct characters today. I’ve been creating personalized private tours since moving here, combining my love for walking the city, exploring its cozy cafés, and relaxing in its famous thermal baths. Whether you’re discovering the grandeur of Buda Castle Hill, wandering through the lively Jewish District, or admiring Kolodko’s hidden statues, I’ll show you Budapest through a local’s eyes, where every bridge, view, and story connects you to the city’s vibrant soul.
Julia is very knowledgeable guide. Very informative and thorough. We absolutely enjoyed the tour. We wished it was a longer tour.
Show moreMy family had a wonderful tour of beautiful Budapest with Yulia. You can't really go to a city like this without getting the history and I don't think there's a better way to do it than a walking tour. Yulia went at our pace (which was important because we were with our nine year old) and was sure to cover the highlights we wanted to see. But wear your walking shoes, you will cover a lot of ground!

The city seems well planned out where it gives you many areas for pedestrians to walk in areas to just enjoy the view and the beauty. A lovely city. The mini statues were nice touch to learn about the artist, Mihály Kolodko. It’s such a fun addition to the tour to try to find these mini statues throughout the city. Thank you, Julia I learned about the history, culture and the charm of Budapest. I hope to come back and spend more time.

Discover more about meMy 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.

Hi there!

Hey there!
Discover more about meI'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.
