I am very glad that András introduced me to the interesting city of Budapest. He is a kind and professional person and I have visited some little-known historical places.
There is a lot to visit if you have the opportunity to travel a little. This summer was particularly special for me. I met nice people and András certainly is one of them.
I hope to meet him again in the future. Thank you for welcoming me 🙏🏻❣️. Discovering Budapest

This was a 4 hour tour of the major sites of Budapest. We wanted to see as much of the city as possible and really gave us a great overview of the city and its history. Gábor the leader was outstanding - very knowledgeable, personable, very easy to hear and understand, he grew up in the city. I highly recommend this activity tour by bikes.Best of Budapest bike tour

My wife, daughter and I had a wonderful experience touring the Castle District with Zsuzsi. We only wanted to book a couple of hours and even though it was quite a short amount of time we saw so many beautiful views and historical buildings. Zsuzsi was very helpful and gave us a great insight about the city and of the castle district and surrounding areas. She even treated us to a lovely Hungarian folk song at the end of the tour inside an ancient dome. An excellent and truly memorable experience!Great two hour castle district tour!!

We had an amazing experience! Scheduled this photoshoot while traveling as a way to celebrate our daughter's 16th Birthday 🎂🥳. We got hundreds of high quality, beautiful photos! Gabor took us several places and gave us historical context for some of the areas we were visiting. He also worked hard to make my daughter and all of us at ease and suggest poses, etc. Absolutely would recommend this experience.Beautifula way to capture time in Budapest

Gabor was amazing. He was flexible in acquiescing to our time schedule and was prompt in responding. As someone who was born and raised in Budapest, he shared lots of interesting information about the city which I can imagine is only privy to locals. He is also very well read and this is demonstrated in his stories. Gabor is kind and accommodating. It’s just like having a local friend showing you the town he loves. I highly recommendLike a local friend showing you his town

We had a nice bike ride along highlights of Budapest. Because our daughter had a bloody nose it ran late but was not shortened. In addition, Gabor knows a lot about history and likes to talk about it. And it is very interesting and educational to talk to a Budapest resident about the recent history of the country.Nice activity!

Andras was a wonderful guide and took us to 2 good places to eat. The 3rd was a wine shop and he did purchase a bottle of wine for us plus we purchased a few of our own. We really thought we would have a bit to eat at lots of different places and not a lot at just 2 places. Quite expensive tour for what we gotFun tour but not worth the price.

We really liked the tour with Gábor. He asked what we wanted to include in the tour. He had a very broad knowledge about Budapest. He was also able to draw comparisons between Hungary and other cultures upon discussing history and political affairs. We warmed ourselves inside the Strudel bar where Gabor also told us a lot about Hungarian sweets and other foods popular in Hungary. Our overall impression is really nice and we recommend his services.Bike ride

We arrived in Budapest without knowing more than the basic information about it. We only had two days in Budapest and we decided to make the most of our tour so we hired Andras for 5 hours which wound up being closer to 5 1/2 hours. He loved every minute. Andras is truly a local. He was born and raised in Budapest. He is very knowledgeable, energetic and friendly. He was able to read us pretty well and took us to all the interesting places and then some. We were very happy with our experience. Great introduction to Budapest

Zsuzsi was a great guide and spent a Saturday afternoon giving me exactly the overview of the city I was looking for. She was a very pleasant conversationalist and knew much about local history and culture. We had a wonderful lunch next to the skating rink and palace and then proceeded to tour much of the Old Town by car. It was a very nice afternoon and I had a good idea of what places I wanted to return to in order to explore in more detail. I would definitely recommend Zsuzsi to others visiting Budapest.Great afternoon

He took us to three stops, each one was a unique experience. His wine choices were excellent. Andras was easy going and fun to talk to. We would definitely recommend touring with him.

Gábor is a fantastic tour guide and an essential part of any tourist's introduction when it comes to the beautiful places and rich history of Budapest! He spoke excellent English and took great care of us with his relaxed and friendly manner. Paired with humor and knowledge, Gábor made the 3-4 hours fly by.
He showed us many of the best spots to visit in Budapest, including some places we probably wouldn't have gone had it not been for him, like Hősök tere (Heroes' Square) and Rétesház (Strudel House with the best strudel in all of Budapest).
The tour was one of the highlights of our trip and we thoroughly enjoyed it! We would recommend Gábor to anyone who plans on visiting Budapest.A must-have tour for anyone visting Budapest

I can highly recommend Zsuzsi . She took my husband and I on a tour to the 3 main towns of the Danube Bend. She was very easy to work with and was very personable. She had wonderful suggestions on things to do in each town. She is a great photographer, and we also discovered that she has a fantastic singing voice. This came to light because the acoustics at the top of the Estergom basilica are really good and she sang an entire Hungarian folk song. It was beautiful! She wound up calling and making a lunch reservation at Gundel Restaurant for my husband and me for the following day, and over the next few days, she What’s Apped me to see how the rest of our trip was going and continued to give suggestions on things to do and places to go, which in my mind is all above and beyond. If you book a tour with Zsuzsi, you will not be disappointed!Fantastic Tour guide

Zsuzsa proved to be an exceptional tour guide during our visit to Budapest. Her extensive knowledge and engaging personality made her a pleasure to be around. When I fell ill, she demonstrated remarkable kindness by arranging a doctor's appointment and even escorting me there. Having traveled extensively and experienced numerous tour guides, we can confidently attest that Zsuzsa is the most outstanding tour guide we've ever encountered. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking an immersive experience in Budapest and its unique culture. Book this tour you will not regret it. ❤️ — with Zsuzsa.Budapest Guide

I recently did the Budapest Essential Walking tour with Gabor, and it was a fabulous, immersive experience. It felt more like a walk around the city with an old friend than with a person I had just met. Gabor is extremely knowledgeable about history, art and culture, and can make very intelligent associations with current events and how the past ties into our lives today. He is passionate about Budapest, the city he loves and knows intimately. We took the subway (which is really nice and clean), a bus (also nice and convenient), walked as well, covering a lot of ground, and stopping at various landmarks to get a better understanding about what we were seeing. It was a hot day, so the stop at a delicious and historic strudel place was a welcome respite.
Gabor also desperately tried to teach me some general Hungarian pronunciation, but I am a lost cause! :)
While unfussy and informal, Gabor was serious about sharing the highlights of this gem of a city, and I am so grateful that I chose to experience this with him.
Highly recommended!Best part of my trip

Andras was a very in formative guide during our walk through the castle district. He was easy to talk to and readily shared his knowledge about the area and other aspects of life in Budapest. Thanks for a great morning out! It is so much better to be on a private tour than on a large group tour. A wonderful walk

We LOVED our tours with Gabor! We did two four hours tours over 2 days. One focused on the Buda side and one on the Pest. It was the perfect way to see all the highlights of the city, while also enjoying specific places that we were most interested in. Gabor made sure to tailor the experience to our preferences, showed us some incredible neighborhoods and architecture and was so knowledgeable about all things Hungary. We highly recommend taking any of his tours and will definitely see him the next time we are in the country.
Ps he takes a fantastic picture, as well!

I would give our personal guide, Zsuzsi, 10 stars if I could. She took us on a fabulous day tour of the Danube Bend just outside of Budapest. She is quite knowledgeable and made the very hot day pleasant and fun. Although we arranged an itinerary ahead of time, she was great about including some spur of the minute stops - including an excursion into a sunflower field! Her English is excellent and she will make you smile. Thank you so much Zsuzsi for a memorable day. ❤️The Best Tour Guide Ever

Andras took us on an interesting tour that showed contrasts of the old and newer more popular parts of Budapest.
He is so knowledgeable and really fitted the experience around what our interests were.
We loved it and learned lots about the country and its people.
Budapest is busy with traffic but we felt safe following Andras along the roads and cycle paths. We’re all in our fifties and haven’t cycled for years but it’s made us keen to start cycling again!

Gabor is an amazing tour guide.
We wanted a locally connected tour guide and he was certainly that!
He was easy going, relaxed, a thorough historian who spoke excellent English. We walked and talked around for more than 3 very interesting & entertaining hours exploring Budapest visiting:
* Heroes Square (Hősök tere),
* the Museum & Library of Hungarian Agriculture (Magyar Mezőgazdasági Múzeum és Könyvtár)
* Magyar Mezőgazdasági Múzeum és Könyvtár
* St. Stephen’s Basilica
* Buda Castle Precinct
* Reteshav, Strudel House….first & best strudel in Budapest
At the end of our tour, we were reluctant to leave him to go on our next walking food tour and invited him to come along with us 🥹 but he kindly refused.
Even after our tour, he was helping us with reccomendations via texts for dinner venues, which were excellent choices.
Give Gabor a call, he will tailor a bespoke and personalised Budapest your for you that won’t cost the earth. You won’t be dissapointed!Best Tour Ever

Zsuzsi (Budapest Personal Guide) met us at our hotel and took us on a lengthy walking tour that took us through the city on both sides of the Danube River with her guiding our steps and providing so much information and history; we were amazed at what we saw, and delighted to learn so much about an area of the world that was new to us. The tour was so well organized, and the information she provided had us spell bound as she was able to weave so much history and local customs into every step we took. It was a tour like no other we have experienced. Not only was she a wonderful photographer for our memories, but also surprised us with a beautiful folk song with her beautiful voice! We knew immediately that we would like to return to Budapest again, and if we get the chance to do so we will engage Zsuzsi (Budapest Personal Guide) again to experience more of her charm, her knowledge, and the experience of other aspects of the Hungarian culture beyond the city. She left us with so many great suggestions on where to eat and other places we could visit on our own during our time in Budapest. We cannot compliment her enough, and we highly recommend her without reservation if you want the best personal guide that Budapest has to offer!Our Guide was the Highlight of our Budapest trip

We couldn't be happier by hiring Gabor to capture the precious moment for our family in Budapest. Gabor is a great photographer and a knowledgeable tour guide who taught us so much about the history of Budapest and Hungary. He is very flexible to work with, and I really appreciate that even though our reserved time was up, he didn't rush to finish the session and spent another hour just to hit the spots where he intended to take our pictures. Although we were not in a rush, he worked so hard to send us the edited photos in less than 48 hours, which was terrific. I felt that I hadn't only found a good photographer and tour guide and made a good friend in Hungary. Highly recommended!!!Best way to tour and capture the moment in Budapest

We had the most wonderful afternoon with Andras, eating our way around Budapest. Andras was the perfect choice for us - we have an 18 year-old fascinated with history and politics so Andras’ knowledge and expertise was just what we’d hoped for. He made us feel like we were just friends he was showing around his city, and we were more than happy to be guided by him. Andras took us to the best spots and we loved every one - he even managed to get a picky 13 year old to try everything (almost). Thank you Andras! A Wonderful Tour

We were on a river cruise stop and chose to do a private tour of Budapest with Zsuzsi instead of the ship's tour. Boy, am I glad we did! Zsuzsi not only showed us her beautiful city of Budapest, but also immersed us in its culture. We spent the whole day with her and she was very informative and tailored our tour to the sites we wanted to see. She also knows the perfect spots for a great photo! Lunch at Gundel was a bonus. Zsuzsi was so full of energy and just fun to be with! We highly recommend her as the best tour guide in Budapest.Fabulous time with Zsuzsi
