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

Andras was a really nice guy to hang out with and took us to some interesting spots off the beaten track. He was friendly and knowledgeable without being a historian. Andras shared some of his real life experiences of living in Budapest as well as his worldly views of being a Hungarian today. The bikes we hired were excellent and comfortable. Due to time we were not able to have a beer with him which was a shame, but it was so nice of him to offer to hang out with us.Great local insight from a young local

Andras was our guide on a great bike tour of Budapest. We got a little lost on the way to the meeting spot and it didn’t matter- he was able to adjust his time and make the tour later. We saw all of the sights and even stopped for a quick snack at a spot we never would have found on our own- thank you for the time and local knowledge! We would for sure recommend a tour with Andras!Amazing local and personal tour!

Thank you Gabor for a highly informative and candid two-hour food tour in Budapest's Central Market Hall. We enjoyed hearing about the area's rich culinary culture, history and of course, its love affair with paprika! We sampled a variety of sweet and savoury local foods and enjoyed each bite. I especially loved Marika and her pickles, and the grilled sausage was excellent. We had some of our leftover chimney cake with coffee this morning. We two Canadians are full, happy and feeling a lot of Budapest love! Leah & Bruce Victoria, BC CanadaGabor — a Gracious Guide!

Gabor took my mom, sister, and I from Heroes Square all the way past St. Stephen's, the Opera, and Parliament and across the river to Buda and the Castle District. He taught us about Hungarian history - pointed out architectural details - patiently answered our questions - treated us to coffee and a snack. He tailored the tour to our requests. Seriously, I cannot recommend him enough. It was a great experience! Thank you!!Knowledgeable, thorough and entertaining!

We had had a motor coach tour the day before from on our river cruise with quick overview of Budapest. Having Gabor next was terrific and he was very knowledgeable . He showed our group some areas of Pest that we would never be able to find on our own or had seen previously. Gabor was a great tour guide tailoring the tour for our group's interests.Gail

Gabor was friendly and helpful right from the beginning asking alot of questions on what we would be interested in. We learnt so much on this tour . Gabors knowledge and expert way of telling the story of history was inspiring. There were so many things we would not have picked up on if it wasn’t pointed out to us. He even suggested things we could do after the tour and told us how to get home with our newly purchased transport ticket in which he helped us get. We would totally recommend a tour with Gabor, I am sure you wouldn’t find better.

Man merkt dass Gabor für seine Stadt und ihre Geschichte brennt. Er konnte uns einen guten geschichtlichen Hintergrund vermitteln und hat geschichtliche Details immer wieder in aktuellen Bezug gebracht. Er hat ein sehr umfangreiches Wissen über Budapest und Ungarn und kann geschichtliche Fakten spannend erzählen. In drei Stunden haben wir sehr viel gelernt und viel gesehen.Viele wertvolle Informationen

Anna was an excellent host. This was a great introduction to Budapest and its culture. The food stops were excellent and Anna really took the time to explain about the food we ate and why it is so important in Budapest. Apart from this Anna was brilliant in getting us accustomed to life in Budapest and Hungary generally, full of information and eager to share it. She also gave out some excellent recommendations for us to explore during our time here which have all proven to be winners. Grab Anna and take on this tour early in your stay here.Great experience, choose Anna if you can

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 have done many, many tours, some are better than others. So, we have a good sense of what a great tour is versus an okay tour. This 5 hour tour with Gabor ranks with the best we have done. Gabor grew up with a father who is extremely proud of his Hungarian homeland. His dad loves to study the history of the region and imparted that passion to Gabor. As expected, Gabor demonstrated a thorough expertise in history, and had no problem shifting to and from any period, from Roman times to modern history, as we walked through time in Budapest. Gabor is also highly adept at understanding and teaching architectural styles. This was an area we didn't expect to love, but Gabor is so knowledgeable, and so enthusiastic, that we found this part of the walk to be right up there with the historical aspect of the walk. While we didn't express an interest in art, and Gabor tailors the walk to your particular interests, he was able to slip in quite a bit of interesting artistic expression found in the streets. I am certain thousands of people pass by this art every day, and never knowing it exists. Thank goodness for Gabor, because we saw street art that was absolutely fascinating and fun. Another surprise for us was his intimate knowledge of the Jewish Quarter, along with hidden spots in that district that we never would have found without him. We did not expect to say this, but that district turned out to be our favorite part of the tour. The quarter is now a trendy and lively neighborhood, and through his network of friends, he is able to access areas that are generally closed off to the public. In fact, later that evening, we were able to return and "party" in a "ruins bar". He was able to show us the venue during the day and tell us what time to return in the evening to avoid lines. We had a great time and when we left later that night, the line extended for at least a block and a half. As we finished up the tour, he gave us more walking ideas for us to explore for after he left us. He gave us info on what we would see and how best to navigate the streets. And we took full advantage! To give you a sense of how devoted to and passionate he is about his beloved Budapest, We actually went overtime by about nearly an hour! I'm not suggesting he will do that every time, but if you show the enthusiasm and energy to do more, and if he has the time to spare, I get the sense he is more concerned about you loving the experience, then him getting back home to whatever he has to do. Lastly, Gabor is a true gentleman who walked us right to the Metro stop and escorted us down to the train to make sure that we were going in the right direction and could get to the unguided and unofficial part of our tour without trouble. As you can tell, we think the world of Gabor. And we think you will too! My bottom line message to you is if he is available, get him. You will not be disappointed! We Think the World of Gabor!

Gabor was a pleasure to spend the day with-he was open to sharing his city & his experiences (I’m always full of questions) and tailored the day to what I expressed interest in. I learned a tremendous amount in our short day together & had a wonderful time doing it. I couldn’t recommend him more.

We loved our tour with Gabor. He was super easy to communicate with ahead of time and even re-arranged his schedule to fit us in on New Year's Eve! He's such a natural tour guide and you could clearly see that we weren't just on a tour that he had delivered a hundred times before, he was tweaking it "on-the-fly" to match our interests. He's got a wealth of knowledge and we would definitely book him again on a future trip to Budapest. Thank you so much, Gabor!A great tour with a great guide!

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
