More than the major attractions

Several of the most spellbinding attractions in Budapest are ones your guidebook doesn’t even know about. It’s easy to spend weeks in the Hungarian capital caught in a seemingly endless tourist trap of must-see sights – but with private tour guides in Budapest, you can find the lesser-known landmarks only locals know about. You won’t be limited to the top sights on our Budapest tours by locals. A private guide in Budapest knows exactly where to go for the city’s finest food, its most exciting entertainment, and the hidden haunts down narrow streets no traveler could find alone.

Latest reviews from our guests

    Agnes was an exceptional tour guide. She was knowledgeable and built the tour to our preferences, which we gave via a survey ahead of meeting her.

    Agnes was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable of the history and current status of Buda/Pest and Hungary as a whole. She tailored the tour to what we wanted to see, which was Pest side only, and covered it all in the 4 hours we reserved. We recommend requesting Agnes and will seek her out when we return to explore the Buda side.

    Lorinc was a wonderful guide. He listened to us and what our interests were, and tailored our experience accordingly. We never felt rushed, and he spent plenty of time explaining not only food information but local history. We would happily go on another tour with him.

    It was so fun and educational to tour Pest with Angie. She made history come alive for us! We would highly recommend her.
