The guide makes the tour

Donna_S, Oct 2025

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.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

It's wonderful that you were able to explore at your own pace and discover the city's hidden gems and we're thrilled that your tour with Lorinc gave you such a meaningful insight into Budapest. Thank you so much for your kind words!

Best tour of Budapest!

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.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

So glad to hear Krisztian made your time in Budapest so special — it’s wonderful that the tour felt like a genuine conversation with a friend, while still offering such deep insights. Thanks for the glowing recommendation!

We had a great time! Maria is very friendly and considerate and was very accommodating with whatever we wanted to do and our timings. It was like having a personal friend show you around the city. She was really eager to make sure we got the most out of our short time in Budapest and covered more than we could have thought possible. A great experience!
