Very nice lady, very informative and excellent English, is open to take you wherever you want that is not on her itinerary. Had a laugh as well with her.

It was a fantastic tour. There is no way I would have been able to see so much of the city without the guidance. Highly recommend it.

Arturo_R, Jul 2025

Cristina is an extremely nice person who immediately gained our trust. She loves her city and is very proud of her heritage. Our experience was positive in the sense that we did visit all listed sites (in accordance to our own list). However, Cristina could still provide more insights and exact data + most important points to consider on each experience.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Erika was amazing! She catered our tour to exactly where myself and daughter wanted to see. She gave great details about the Hungarian history and even walked into a pastry shop with us to explain the significance of each Hungarian cake.

Joseph N, May 2017

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and a great asset to understand the history and the people of Budapest. Starting at our hotel we walked took a cab and finally the underground to get around and see some of the important sites in Budapest and in Pest. Small groups let you get more of a flavor of the city and the Hungarian people. It's the only way to go.

Belle découverte

Jolle_W, Mar 2024

Une belle découverte de cette ville pleines de surprises. Aidée par notre guide qui l'a sublimée. Elle a mis tout son coeur à nous montrer le plus de choses possible en n'omettant pas beaucoup d'histoires. En 4 heures cela a été un survol, mais cela nousxa donné l'envie de revenir 😊

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Jolle, Thank you for your kind words. We are happy to hear you was satisfied with the tour. Hope to hear from you again, when you come back to Budapest! Best wishes, Boglárka Kaszás

Tolle Stadtführung zu allen relevanten Plätzen der Stadt

Martina_H, Jun 2023

Tolle 4 stündige Führung mit Jozef der sehr gut auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen ist. Wir haben viel gesehen und vor allem geschichtliches und aktuelles gehört. Jozef war sehr bemüht uns zu allen sehenwerten Plätzen zu bringen und und Budapest näher zu bringen. Können wir nur empfehlen.
