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!

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, a couple from Germany, had a great city tour right after Christmas with Gabor! From Millenium Square, to Oktogon Station (with beautiful Jugendstil Eclectic architecture), to the Opera building... It was an interesting tour through the different decades of Budapest City. Big recommendation from our side! Great City Tour after Christmas

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

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 are pleased to have Anna as our guide. She has a cheerful disposition and you could see her passion for the work that she is doing. She is full of information and constantly responding to our questions. The flexibility of the tour meant that we could spend more time at places that we were more interested to explore. Always concern about our well being given the age group that is being guided. Certainly a worthwhile afternoon although must admit it was a rather long walking tour compared to others. We will not hesitate to recommend her to others. A bastion of information

I booked a 5-hour personal walking tour with Gabor. Before we started the day, he asked what I was interested in and if there was anything specific I wanted to see. He was very knowledgeable in many areas but didn't bore me with too much information. His English was excellent so it was very easy to understand everything he said. I would highly recommend Gabor for an individual or group tour. Fantastic Tour with Gabor

We are Americans and Gabor, having spent years living in California, was the perfect guide for us. His knowledge of Hungarian history is impressive and he was insightful in directing us toward things that interested us: music venues and Jewish historical sites. He was even-handed in presenting the nation’s current political situation. And, best of all, he is very pleasant company. You’re in good hands with Gabor. Friendly and Engaging

We had an amazing tour with Gabor. Not only did he take us to all the main tourist spots, he also took us to places that typically would have been missed by tourists. Gabor is a fount of knowledge. His many years as a journalist and writer certainly added value to the tour. He had detailed knowledge about the history of the city with many personal experiences added that were gems added for us to process. He also had vast knowledge about architecture and even some on geology. He showed us the best places to eat and pointed us to things we could do on our own the next day. One of the best guides I've had in my many travels!A Very Special Guide

Gabor B. is an outstanding guide who customizes tours to the interests of his clients. At the outset, my partner and I said that we wanted to focus on architecture and history during our walking tour to see Highlights and Hidden Gems in Budapest. Gabor shared his extensive knowledge of these subjects in a clear, engaging manner. We especially enjoyed seeing the interior architectural features of several early 20th century buildings which are not accessible to the general public. Highlight of our stay in Budapest!

We loved hearing all about the history of Budapest, Hungary, and Hungarians in Romania with Gabor. He had a tremendous amount of local knowledge, and was also able to tell us a number of captivating personal stories, all of which served to help us learn about life in Hungary (and formerly Hungarian Romania) after World War 2. He adapted to our interests and answered every question we threw at him, and it was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with him. Highly recommend!Wonderful and Knowledgeable Guide

Exploring Budapest with Gabor as my private guide was an exceptional experience. Gabor’s extensive knowledge covered everything from hidden gems and fascinating anecdotes to the rich history of the city. His ability to weave together stories and historical events made the tour incredibly engaging and informative. What truly set Gabor apart was how effortlessly he could converse on a wide range of topics. We connected events from the histories of our countries, and I felt like I could have talked with him for hours. His enthusiasm for history and his knack for uncovering the city’s secrets made every moment of the tour captivating. If you’re a history enthusiast and love delving into the lesser-known corners of a city, Gabor is the perfect guide. His passion for Budapest shone through, and he introduced me to the city in such a compelling way that I was genuinely sad when the tour ended. He made Budapest come alive as a vibrant city full of history, stories, and unique experiences. Thanks to Gabor, I now see Budapest as an intriguing destination that I must visit again. His insights and storytelling convinced me that there’s so much more to explore. I highly recommend Gabor to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and engaging guide in Budapest. He truly made my visit unforgettable.An Unforgettable Journey Through Budapest

Gabor B met us at our Pest hotel shortly after we arrived in Budapest. We had an open ended agenda and Gabor gave us a superb highlights tour, including the opera house, the Jewish quarter, Parliament, and the castle district. Gabor has a wealth of knowledge, both historical and social, of the city which he is rightfully proud of. We walked and Gabor introduced us to the public transportation network which we used extensively in the following days. He gave us some excellent recommendations for other sites to see as well as places to eat. I highly recommend Gabor.Great tour

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
