Must see Budapest with a local

The walking tour with Lorinc gave us an amazing insight into the history of Budapest. His depth of knowledge and understanding of the hidden gems of the city gave us a better understanding of the culture and people of Budapest. He took our input and anded additional insights that we would not have experienced in other tours. It was so good to move at our own pace and fully experience the sights we seeing.

Our guide, Lorinc, made this tour exceptional. His knowledge of the history of Hungary was so informative. The sights he shared gave us new perspective on the city and his willingness to be impromptu in seeing new sites like the Folk Museum provided much added flavor.

Krisztian was an amazing guide. Our time exploring Budapest was more like two friends having an in depth conversation on many subjects prompted by what we saw. Krisztian is definitely among the very best tour guides I have ever met.

This was our first time in Budapest, so we hired a guide for our first full day, deciding to concentrate on the Pest side with a 6hr guided walk..a very good decision as it gave a good orientation of the city and invaluable local knowledge.

This was our first visit to Budapest and although we had swatted up on info from the internet and from our purchased guide book (Marco Polo..concise,very portable and helpful with v good maps) we nevertheless thought it would be money well spent hiring a local host to guide us on our first full day...and so it proved to be. Given we were only in Budapest for a long weekend we did not want to waste time getting lost and walking past points of interest in blissful ignorance! We were also looking to get a good orientation of the city prior to exploring it further on our own...and we did. We concentrated on the Pest side of the city for our 6hrs local host guided walk. We had been in email contact with our host, Richard, prior to the trip and gave him an outline of our WANTS. We spent a most enjoyable 6hrs mostly walking, but also for the experience, riding on a tube and a tram, during which time we were given an excellent introduction to the many sites to see in Pest, many of which we would have missed if not for our host knowledge. Richard spoke excellent English and proved most knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his city and its history and throughout the walk was attentive to our needs, checking if the tour was meeting were expecting, which it more than was. The walk also offered numerous opportunities to talk about varied aspects of living in modern-day Budapest. We would recommend Richard as your local host without hesitation. Chris and Lesley.
