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

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! Brilliant tour

My wife and I had arrived earlier in the afternoon, and had a scheduled a tour with Bea in the early evening. She was the perfect introduction to Budapest, helping to orient us both on the major sites and on some of the nooks and crannies - the lessor known sites - and enabling us to navigate our way around for the balance of our visit. She also took the time to explain the history, giving us a deeper appreciation of what we were seeing. Would highly recommend her as your guide! The Perfect Introduction!

Beata is absolutely outstanding. Her English is perfect and her knowledge and insights of and about Budapest is superb. You will see things that you never knew existed while getting an outstanding explanation of Hungary’s and Budapest’s rich history. Walking the streets and riding the subway lets you get up close a personal with the city. Too often, tourists just ride a bus and see buildings past by in a blur. We got to see some areas that only the true locals know and came away loving Hungary, its people, and its culture…all thanks to Beata. When you are in the city, be sure to book her for a tour. You will be glad you did!! Truly exceptional.The ONLY Way to experience Budapest

We have traveled often and are generally independent explorers. But wanted to try a small guided tour, to get more history and background about Budpest. Wow ... it was more than we ever hoped for! Beata was a wonderful guide -- friendly, informative, pleasant conversation, a delight in every way. My wife and I had a great experience, and we came away knowing much more about the City and able to plan for an another full day of exploring tomorrow (based on suggestions and background from Beata). I am a convert to private tours. And very grateful to Beata. Don't hesitate ... it's absolutely worth it.What a superb experience!

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

Beata worked hard to give us a wonderful two days of the highlights of Budapest . A first day was a five hour tour where we went slowly and saw the highlights. She explained history, architecture, and with infectious enthusiasm, made us feel right at home in her city. The second day was a fantastic tour lasting little over three hours of the cuisine of the Hungarian culture. This worked out very well, and was extremely filling. Overall,Beata is an experienced, charming, and flexible guide. Whatever you desire to see, she will find a way, and make it most enjoyable. When we return again , I will seek her out for another glorious day.Wonderful two days.

Book Beata as a guide! That's the summary. The long version is: we have been to Hungary and Budapest already a few times so, we know the classic stuff. And Beata added nice local hidden gems to the tour, looked for less obvious stuff - even if it was a detour. She really personalised our experience to our interests and wishes, which we appreciated very much. During the tour she told about many different topics and we immediately had a good connection and laughed a lot. In short, the perfect guide. Splendid foodtour evening!

It was wonderful being hosted for the day by Beata. She was a delight and full of interesting information on a range of topics relating to the city and the country. We walked to the various locations then travelled by tram and the Metro, which was impressive. Later we enjoyed a delicious lunch in an established, authentic Hungarian restaurant that I would never have found, where the service was professional and friendly. The price was extremely reasonable. Our tour was, without doubt, the highlight of my short trip and a very happy memory. I was so sorry our time had to end! Don’t hesitate- just book this! A treat. AMAZING!

We just had the pleasure of taking a food tour in Budapest with Beata, and it was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, Beata was a warm and engaging guide who made the experience both informative and fun. Her passion for Budapest’s culinary heritage really shone through as she shared fascinating stories about the city’s dining traditions and history. Our adventure began at the iconic Central Market Hall, where we indulged in some of the best traditional Hungarian dishes. The Goulash soup was the perfect start – rich, flavorful, and comforting. We sampled salami, fresh from the market, before making our way through the streets to taste other local delicacies, including mouth-watering sausage, crispy langos and delightful chocolate treats. We ended our tour with chimney cake, which was a sweet, satisfying way to wrap up the day. Along the way, Beata shared stories about the food, the neighborhoods, and the history of Budapest, making it feel less like a tour and more like an immersive experience. We ended in the vibrant Szimpla Kert, where we could feel the heartbeat of the city – the perfect spot to reflect on the flavors and sights we had just enjoyed. Beata’s enthusiasm and local expertise made this tour a standout experience. If you’re visiting Budapest, this food tour with Beata is an absolute must!Bold Bites of Budapest

We chose the 5 hour Budapest City Tour and were able to do it the afternoon of our arrival in the city. It was a great introduction and overview of what we would be experiencing during our time in Budapest. Andras provided great insight and context about the City, the country and the region. We visited all the highlights, sampled local snacks and jumped on public transit. It was a fantastic experience. Andras stepped in after our previous guide was forced to cancel and his quick response to questions and updates were very reassuring, as this was our first "With Locals" tour. Highly recommended!!Budapest-Full City Tour

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

I am in Budapest for 4 days with my 8 year old son and my 70 year old father. I booked two tours with Beata and that was the best decision I’ve made for this trip. Beata was really considerate and flexible. It’s NOT easy to keep everyone in my group happy but I think Beata managed it. The food tasting tour was fantastic and city tour was full of stories and histories. I can’t wait to take my husband here next time. Budapest is an amazing city with so much to offer and I wouldn’t get to know the half of it if not for Beata. I would recommend her for anyone who wants to come here.Beata is the best

The whole group really appreciated the tour. Beata had a lot of knowledge that she shared in an interesting and relaxed way. Many smiles in the group during the day and we were all really happy that we booked this. The tastings of traditional Hungarian snacks and food were highly appreciated.

I was traveling solo to Budapest so wanted to book a local guide to show me around. I chose Beata for a 5-hour tour. I chatted with her prior to the tour to let her know that I had injured my foot so would need to take it easy. It was supposed to rain that day, but Beata assured me we would still have fun. She even offered to meet me at my hotel. From the minute she arrived, I felt very comfotable with her. She was very easy to talk to. She took me to all the places I wanted to see and to some hidden gems. We stopped to try a langosh and beer. The whole time she asked me how I was doing, mindful of my injured foot. She made sure we used public transportation and minimized the amount of walking we had to do. I would highly recommend Beata for your next tour.A fun experience

With only two days in Budapest we needed a thorough overview and Andras delivered. He met us at our hotel with day passes for public transit which was a great way to see all the important sites. Andras’ commentary was filled with history, politics and a locals perspective on life in Budapest, providing us with real insight into what it is like to live here. We covered a tremendous amount of ground during our 5 hour tour. We then spent the next day getting a deeper dive on our own, fully confident in how to use the transit system. Andras also followed up with recommendations on where to eat or drink. We highly recommend Andras as your guide. Fantastic Primer to Budapest

Beata was a wonderful host: welcoming, funny and knowledgeable. The tour was a fantastic journey, eating market delicacies such as strudel, salami, honey and of course paprika! But we were delighted to be taken to a restaurant for food and wine also, as well as being given lots of information about Budapest and Magyar culture, history and society more generally. My 16 year old son loved the street art, the ruin bar and the chimney cake the most; my husband and myself enjoyed the goulash and the conversation. Please don’t hesitate to book Beata for this tour as it is such a warm and insightful way to experience Budapest. I have offered to share our local delicacy (the Staffordshire oatcake) with Beata if she’s ever in the UK but somehow I don’t think it will compare! ;)Perfect food and conversation!

We had just arrived to Budapest and wanted to do a food tour to get our bearings and experience some of the cuisine. Beata was absolutely warm, welcoming and friendly as soon as we met her. She took us for some of the best local cuisine in the area, starting with tapas and wine. She even took note of my partners birthday and arranged a small treat for her, which I really appreciated. With the tour she also took us to some great local attractions and gave us some history and recommendations of places to go. HIGHLY recommend. Perfect way to start our trip!
