Nicholas is a great guide! He took my grumpy 12 year old son and got him to enjoy learning about Hungarian history. He included funny anecdotes as well as important dates while showing us some beautiful sites. Even got our son to ride the subway! Thank you very much Nick, we will be back! You missed one of the best bits after the tour ended, where the boys could not remember where they parked the car for an hour. It was all good in the end, they made it home.😊 We highly recommend Nick to every one!Teenager approved

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 hour walking tour with Tiberiu. It was easy to message him beforehand and arrange our meeting place. Tiberiu met us on time, with a chimney cake for us to share! He gave us options of where to go and what to see. He pitched the tour just right, plenty of information but not overwhelming. He answered all our questions. He also gave great recommendations for places to eat, have coffee etc. We would certainly recommend this walking tour.A great introduction to Budapest

We had an amazing time with Emoke during an unusually hot spell in Budapest. She took care to keep us in the shade when possible as she shared her obvious love for this city and her country. We learned many fascinating things about its troubled past and marvelled at the many amazing buildings. The kids loved the spotting game she engaged them in and later said they loved having her as our guide, so thank you Emoke!A cool experience in the heat

Taking part in a family-friendly tour with Claudia is like meeting up with an old friend who wants to show you the best hidden gems of their city. Relaxed, flexible and intuitive, Claudia took us on a three hour tour to places that we never would have discovered by ourselves. No question went unanswered, and her advice and tips on the tour saw us through our next 48 hours of activities in the city. Thanks to the introduction from Claudia, the whole family fell in love with Budapest and will definitely be back. Thank you!Fantastic introduction to Budapest

Très déçue de cette visite, car Andras n’avait pas l’air d’avoir préparé quelque chose. On un peu suivi… je ne sais pas quoi. La visite n’avait rien de familiale: de la marche d’un endroit de la ville à un autre et enfin les enfants n’ont jamais eu le gâteau promis dans la visite… Bref, les enfants n’ont pas aimé. Je déconseille Andras pour les familles Sinon guide plutôt gentil, avec un beau français Guide gentil mais visite pas prête

Gabor was a wonderful tour guide, very considerate of what we would find interesting, and a fascinating person. He showed us some hidden places that I would have never been able to find by myself, and made myself and my 10 year old son feel very comfortable. I felt much better connected to Budapest because I understood some of its history. I would definitely like to come back for another tour. I will return for another tour with Gabor.

Wir waren eine Gruppe mit 8 Erwachsenen und 8 Kindern (2-14 J.). Treffpunkt am Heldenplatz, los ging’s mit der Geschichte Ungarns ab anno 894, zwischendrin in der langen Vorstellung mit Rätseln und Zeichentrickfilmchen für die Kinder. Danach dann die Langoschverköstigung, die Führung beim Schloss und abschließend ging es durch den Park zu einem super Kinderspielplatz, von Kindern für Kinder entworfen. Aus der geplanten zweistündigen Führung wurden es dann doch knapp 4 Stunden, alles in allem war es aber doch ein schöner Nachmittag mit sehr interessanten Informationen die kurzweilig präsentiert wurden.Familienführung

My husband, 3 year old son, and I went on a 3 hour tour with Gabor and it was just phenomenal. Gabor involved our son and made it interesting for him, and he tailored the tour to our personal interests in history and architecture. He had a vast knowledge of the city and was interesting as well. He answered all our questions and gave advice for the rest of our trip. I highly recommend Gabor! Everyone should book a tour with him. You won't be disappointed!Beautiful city, excellent guide!

Gabor was a friendly and knowledgable guide who was also patient with our two sons, who were very focused on getting ice cream. :-) We learned a lot about the Jewish quarter and Hero's Square and saw some sights to go back to. We ended at the top of Buda Castle with wonderful views of the city. My children were not very cooperative some of the time, but my husband and I enjoyed it very much!Friendly and knowledgable

Our tour with Gabor was fantastic! We are a family of 6 (2 adults and 4 kids, ages 11, 10, 8, and 6) and we toured the castle district. It was a lot of walking for the kids, but Gabor was very patient with us and gave the kids fun “missions” (certain things to look for) while we walked. Gabor is a wealth of information and we really appreciated the mix of general history, interesting facts, and personal stories. The tour does not end at the same place you start, but Gabor is very good at making sure you know how to get back. We would definitely recommend touring with Gabor, especially if you are new to, or visiting, Budapest. We much preferred it than trying to figure things out on our own! Fantastic for Our Family

Gabor took us on a intro tour of Budapest. We are a family of 4 with two kids aged 9 and 5. He was very patient with our energetic kiddos and also was able to give us some interesting facts and History of Budapest. He was super knowledgeable and brought the kiddos to a fantastic cafe to warm up on a very cold wintery day.Warm welcome on a cold day

I booked a last minute tour for myself and 11 year old daughter. I had spent a month in Budapest but almost 20 years ago. Gabor was great in giving us an overview of changes since then as well as tailoring our trip to what we were interested in. He was super knowledgeable and showed us things that we would not have seen on our own. great trip. Gabor was very informative

“I had no idea!” That’s what I found myself thinking (and saying) dozens of times during Gabor’s tour. We were utterly amazed and completely charmed by all the wonderful things Gabor pointed out and told us about during our tour. He is an encyclopedia of knowledge but a warm and charismatic tour guide that kept everyone, including our three small children, engaged throughout the our time with him. He took us to several places in the city that we had previously walked through (or by) but the “hidden” gems he shared with us made his tour a true highlight of our trip. Thank you, Gabor! It was wonderful. I had no idea!

I needed to get north of Budapest, to the village of Pilisszentlélek to film the Milky Way last Friday night, October 12. I contacted Gabor and he very quickly worked it out to pick me uo age Budapest Intercontinental Hotel along the Danube. We instantly hit it off and it soon became MUCH more than a glorified tax drive. Gabor filled the drive both ways with lots of history, mixed with local color and interest. He also listened to me and answered my questions. A VERY knowledgeable guide who obviously wants to give you his best and he does. A great trip to Pilisszentlélek, out and back and I got a few nice images as well. Thanks Gabor!An excellent tour from Gabor!

Gabor’s tour was our first experience with Withlocals and it was a fantastic way to explore Budapest! We learned and saw so much more than we would have on our own. Gabor shared the history of the city and sites, pointed out architecture, educated us on the wine and food, all while entertaining and helping with our three young children. Our kids really enjoyed it and wanted to spend the whole trip with Mr. Gabor! We wholeheartedly recommend Gabor. We already booked additional tours through Withlocals for a future destination.Fun and fascinating tour of Budapest

(About local István)

12 August 2018

Istvan was very kind and interested in meeting the needs of our group of 2 families (4 adults, 4 kids). However, his shy and soft-spoken nature meant that it was difficult to hear what he had to say, and we usually had to tease information out of him by asking questions. It wasn’t always clear why he had taken us to a location because he didn’t offer much information or context. Chatting one on one he certainly had more to offer, but unfortunately, he struggled to hold the interest of kids and adults alike. We appreciated him bringing us to the unique cafe, and the fact that he really did try hard, but we didn’t get as much out of the tour that we had hoped. Kind but not engaging

We had a 3-hour walk with Gabor around Budapest and it was amazing. He asked us questions when he first met us to know what we preferred to hear about and throughout the walking tour he would modify his talk based on what we knew and what we still had to learn. It was a perfect morning. We heard about Hungarian history (and the history of all Central Europe) and he gave us specific notes about buildings and restaurants that was very helpful to understand the city. We had 2 adults and 2 teenagers and we all loved it. Take a tour with Gabor - you will very much enjoy it. History, Culture, and People

Our tour with Emoke was one of the true highlights of our time in Budapest. With her warm personality, deep local knowledge, and an eye for detail, she made the city come alive in a way no guidebook ever could. guided us through the city with ease and passion – from iconic landmarks like the Chain Bridge and the Great Synagogue to charming backstreets and hidden gems we’d never have discovered on our own. She didn’t just show us buildings – she shared the stories, history, and local culture behind them in a way that was engaging and personal. Her recommendations for food, sights, and cultural tips were spot-on and really enriched the rest of our stay. If you want to experience Budapest not just as a tourist, but through the eyes of someone who truly loves and understands the city, a tour with Emoke is the way to go. It was personal, insightful, and absolutely memorable – highly recommended!You Are Going to Experience It All
