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

Whilst the weather wasn’t the kindest, Andras was a fabulous host taking us round and showing us the sites of Budapest. We followed his advice the next day as we explored the city on our own and as a result saw some amazing views that we would otherwise have missed. We also were much better able to understand what we were looking at in relation to the history of the city and its people. Great experience with a lovely with local host.Showery walk through Budapest

16 mayo 2025

I had booked the tour months in advance and had told Emoke in a personal message what we like and are interested in (like not so much modern art, but love history, etc). Not only was she very approachable and always fast to respond beforehand, she also prepared a tailored tour - just for us. With a lot of patience, dedication, humor and depth she guided us through Budapests city center showing us hidden jewels, while giving us a unique view and experience in this beautiful city. I can’t recommend walking with her highly enough!! Today we visited again many of the paces she showed us yesterday. And we visited St István Basilica and St Matthias church as well as the palace and we remembered many of the anecdotes and good to knows she told us. Restaurant Retek it is tonight. With wonderfully positive spirits, inspired by the Hungarian national pride, colorful fabrics, fine porcelain and the heroic stories of the Huns. Bravo to you Emoke - thank you a million for the unfortunate experience <3 We loved it, awesome Emoke

We had an incredible time on this walking tour of Budapest! From start to finish, our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the city.

We explored hidden gems as well as iconic landmarks, and I appreciated how the pace was comfortable and the atmosphere super friendly.

Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Budapest – it gave me a much deeper appreciation of the city and made my trip unforgettable. Thank you for such a memorable day!Budapest by walk

Istvan was a friendly and flexible guide. As we hadn't seen the Castle Hill (Buda) side of the city, Istvan was willing to change his usual tour to suit and it was informative and entertaining. I did ask how many rivets were in the chain bridge, which he didn't know, but he promised to find out as homework 😁. Great tour with a lovely guy.Warm, friendly and flexible

Andras was a great tour guide. Met us on time and gave us a perfectly pitched intro to Budapest. Showed us a number of the sights on the Pest side in the three hours but also by spending time at the river managed to highlight key Buda attractions . Really interesting insights into the history of Hungary and Budapest but also how it is today . Would highly recommend Perfectly pitched

We started our 2 and a half day visit in Budapest with a 1 and a half hour tour with Emoke - it was the perfect introduction to this beautiful city! She showed us all around the city- gave us great tips on eating places, things to do and a really interesting history lesson. Loved the langos ( not so much the palinka). Really a great way to start our visit.Budapest visit in October 2024.
