What Makes This Tour Unique? Nature & Culture: A perfect balance of history and wilderness. 100% Local Guide: I live in the starting village and have explored these hidden trails for 20 years. Private & Flexible: Enjoy full attention and a relaxed, customizable pace. Recent Review: "Balazs was a wonderful guide, incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was one of the best I have been to in Europe. A very personalized experience. We enjoyed the Forest Tour which was a breath of fresh air. We enjoyed the stories, humour and hospitality. Generally a wonderful relaxed pace to visit two places in a day. We had time to take lots of photos and stop for a very delicious lunch in a wonderful village restaurant which even showed us a magic trick or two. 5 stars tour and maybe 7 stars if I could give it. Definitely the main highlight of our trip in Budapest so far!"
