What you can expect

This is the plan

Check out the plan below to see what you'll get up to with your local host. Feel free to personalize this offer with the host of your choice.

1. Meeting point

   Meet at In front of the Light Art Museum - Budapest to start your journey

   View on Maps

2. Itinerary

   This is what our experience could look like, but it’s not set in stone! Once you book, you can chat directly with your host to make small tweaks to suit your preferences.

3. First Stop: a Local Wine Bar

   Start your tasting adventure in a cozy wine bar where you’ll try your first Hungarian wine — maybe a crisp white from the volcanic hills of Somló — paired with a light, locally made cheese and fresh bread.

4. Stroll through the Lively Streets

   Follow your host through one of Budapests vibrant district Belvoros — and hear local insights and cultural stories along the way

5. Delicious Bites

   Your local host has paired each glass of wine with a bite typical of the city for a perfect match made in heaven and will explain why these pairings are some of the locals’ favorites

6. Second Tasting Stop

   At your next stop, sip a smooth Hungarian red like a Bikavér or Kékfrankos. This time, it’s paired with a heartier bite — maybe a slice of paprika-spiced sausage or a modern take on a traditional spread.

7. Final Cheers

   Wrap up the experience with your final tasting: something bold, sweet, or a surprise pick based on your preferences. Enjoy it with a sweet or savory Hungarian treat before parting ways — with wine notes, food memories, and local recommendations in hand.

My daughter and I loved our time with Andras. He was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Hungary and eager to share his knowledge with us. 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.

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

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

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 had 2 day tours with Emoke for 4 hours each day to tour around the city of Budapest. We started at the Heroes Square where Emoke introduced the 14 kings and warriors with the sculptures enacted there. She gave us a great introduction of history to the rest of the tour. We enjoyed the two day tour with her. She was patient, and clearly knowledgeable about the ancient past of Hungary, Buda and Pest and also communist time and the period it was liberated. We thank Emoke for her dedication and she even forgot the time was up for the tour until I reminded her after almost 30min...Passionate about Badapest History

We booked Emoke for a 5-hour tour of Budapest. It was our last day of a two week trip through Eastern Europe, so 5 hours might have been a bit too aggressive. Nonetheless, we hung in there with Emmy and were rewarded with an incredible amount of information, presented at a pace that allowed us to absorb it all. We had a prior excursion provided by our cruise company. We asked Emmy to plan our time together without repeating our previous itinerary. She did a great job, showing us some interesting parts of Budapest that helped us understand Hungary's complex and long history. We also appreciated that she didn't just leave us in the middle of a foreign city, but rather took us back to our hotel via the Metro and tram. Thanks for a great day, Emoke.Great history lesson

We recently took a 3 hour food tour around Budapest with Emoke. Our group of 4 adults loved the time we spent with her. She shared some history and culture of Budapest with us and we felt like we had a better knowledge of the city when we left her. All the food tastings were delicious and we appreciated getting to try so many local treats in a short time.We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Emoke!

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

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 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
