We had an unforgettable experience with Beata. Her knowledge of Hungary’s history, culture, and hidden gems was outstanding, and she brought every story to life with passion and charm. She was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive, tailoring the tour perfectly to our interests. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and her recommendations for local food and activities were spot on. From the bustling streets of Budapest to the tranquil villages she made every moment special. If you want an insightful, engaging, and delightful guide, look no further. She truly made our trip to Hungary extraordinary! Highly recommended!Guide Who Made Our Trip Unforgettable!

I recently had the pleasure of exploring the charming town of Szentendre with Beata as my personal guide, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we met, Beata's warm and friendly demeanor made me feel instantly at ease. It felt like I was embarking on an adventure with a longtime friend rather than just a guide. Beata's extensive knowledge of Szentendre is truly impressive. She knew exactly what to show me, tailoring the tour to match my interests perfectly. Her deep understanding of the town's history, culture, and hidden gems made the tour incredibly enriching. Every corner of Szentendre came alive with her captivating stories. Whether it was exploring the quaint streets, visiting unique shops, or enjoying local delicacies, Beata made sure that each aspect of the tour was memorable. Overall, my day in Szentendre with Beata was an unforgettable experience. Her professionalism, enthusiasm, and personal touch made all the difference. I highly recommend Beata to anyone looking for a guide. She is a true gem, and with her, you’re not just seeing a place—you’re experiencing it in the most wonderful way possible.A Perfect Day in Szentandre with Beata

Beata led us on an interesting tour of Szentendre. She showed us the marzipan museum, the small synagogue, and the interesting winding lanes and shops of the town. We'll never forget the engaging locals that Beata introduced us to and the time we spent w/ her. We highly recommend Beata and this tour. Excellent 1/2 Day in Szentendre

My mom and I were fortunate to have Beata for 2 tours - the 10 tastings, and Szentendre. Beata was so great - adjusting things to accommodate our jet lag, and catering both tours to our specific likes. She is very personable, extremely well versed in English, and went to great pains to explain the transit system as we were very nervous about using it. The food was fantastic, the locations very quaint, and Szentendre is simply lovely. Thanks Beata - we will never forget you!Wonderful experience with Beata

Beata was delightful! The only downside was visiting in December and the weather wasn’t cooperative. But, Beata made the tour interesting, and the little restaurant where we enjoyed our goulash was quaint.

We really enjoyed our tour of Szentendre with Beata. She was engaged, informative and most importantly quite a bit of fun. We felt we were less having a tour vs. a visit with an old friend. We saw much and got the inside scoop. We really enjoyed the lunch and the key insights on Hungarian culture also. I’d recommend Beata to anyone!Great tour!

A wonderful half day plus spent with Beata in the village of Szentendre. Beata knew the lay of the land and managed our excursion from Budapest well. Provided lots of insight into the geography. Very relaxing day. Tour of Szentendre Hungary

I highly recommended Beata as a personal guide. Her vibrant personality and knowledge made it a very memorable experience. Certainly her English language skills are superior and made for an effortless trip. I am booking another trip with her to experience Budapest at night. Looking forward to some tasty Hungarian cuisine and her pleasant company 😎Perfect day trip away from the city!

Looking back on my visit to Budapest, had I not booked the tour with Beata, I frankly would not have enjoyed myself. She made my visit interesting, informative, and most importantly, fun. She exposed me to all the coolest places in town, so I had no reason to waste time and bad judgement trying to do the same myself. The only thing bad about the tour was I didn't book it for long enough. We had four hours, but I wish we had 10!! I would recommend Beata in a New York second (especially since I'm from NYC). Don't leave Budapest without seeing her!!!!Beata's tour was the highlight of my visit

Beata was an amazing guide. We booked a 3 hour your way tour and it was perfect. She listened to our wants and tailored everything to our needs. She noticed all the things we got excited over and found more of these sites to share with us. She was polite and very informative without giving us so many dates we wouldn’t remember. I highly recommend this tour! Thanks Beata for the perfect day. Nikki BakerBest guide in Budapest

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

My husband and I booked a tour with Beata for our first day in Budapest. She spent 5 hours with providing us with some history of the country and city, highlighting major sites around the city for us to come back to visit, and also a little food tour along the way! She even helped us secure some amazing tickets to the Operetta later in the week. Do no hesitate to book a tour for yourself!Perfect First Day Tour

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

I traveled to Budapest on my own and set up 2 tours with Beata. First day was about 5 hours and the 3 hours the next. Beata is a fabulous tour guide, friendly and very knowledgeable about Budapest. She also knows her food and took me to a great lunch place and a delicious chimney cake place. Pointed out her favorite pattiserre (delicious) and many other places. I enjoyed my time with her and she made a Budapest a fun place to visit2 Wonderful Tours with Beata

We were a group of 11 people that had the pleasure of spending half a day with Beata in Budapest, walking and taking the subway between some of the famous spots in the city but also some hidden gems. 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. Thank you for a really nice tour Beata. Highly recommended.Highly recommended group tour

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

Travis🇺🇸 United States

Beata was a fantastic local guide for our Budapest architecture tour. She was forced to pivot the tour as Budapest was in the middle of a rain-filled week at the time. We still had a fantastic time and learned so much about Budapest from Beata. She is incredibly knowledgeable about her city and guides the tour with so much kindness and grace. I highly recommend Beata for a local tour of Budapest. You will enjoy her so much!Knowledgeable, kind and flexible

Beata is a wonderful guide. We spent a morning exploring Budapest with her. She was able to tailor the tour to exactly what we wanted to see, and kept two tweens entertained as well. She shared a lot of Budapest history, which we really appreciated. I wish we had thought ahead and booked a longer tour with her. I would highly recommend her as your local guide to Budapest, you won't be disappointed! Perfect morning in Budapest

She was a super friendly and knowledgeable guide and we very much enjoyed her company. Would not hesitate to recommend Beata to introduce you to this beautiful city.

Rebecca🇬🇧 United Kingdom

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!

Bea was the most excellent guide for our trip to Budapest. She tailored our tour to suit our interests and as a group of photographers she showed us some amazing sites.

We were in town just off a river cruise and Beata was the perfect guide for our vegan search. 3 of us are pescatarian with 1 vegan and the food was incredible! We booked the tour a few months in advance and she was very quick to respond to us to keep us up to date. Beata doesn’t just know vegan food in the area but she also does city tours and is very knowledgeable In the history of the area. We wish we had more time to spend in Budapest to go back and any the amazing places she took us on our tour.Vegan tour of Budapest.

We enjoyed 2 days with Beata. She took us all over Budapest the first day and on a food tour the second day. She was enjoyable, accommodating and knowledgeable. We liked that she often asked us what our favorite site or food was. We felt like it was a good way for her to assess our experience and made us feel like she was really trying to meet our needs.

We had a wonderful vegan tour with Beata. I’m a vegan traveling with 3 other people who are not vegan and we all loved it. My mom is elderly and walks slowly and Beata was an absolutely patient sweetheart with her. My favorite dishes were the seitan at Vegan Etterem (get some pastries and scones to go so you can enjoy them later) and the savory pancake from Vegan Garden. It was great to be able to try vegan versions of traditional Hungarian dishes. Would highly recommend this for any one who loves food tours.Come hungry

Beata was marvelous. We were a large group in town looking for an activity highlighting local food and culture. Beata was just the ticket. Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable about the food and culinary history of Hungary (and Budapest in particular), but she was a walking encyclopedia of architecture, history, and culture. At each stop we learned about the food we were going to try, its history and place in the region, the evolution of ingredients, and the influence it had both locally and globally. We were in awe of Beata's ability to convey so much information in a digestible format (pun intended!) through her heartfelt love of her craft. Everyone agreed that it was an excellent experience and the highlight of our travels. If you have a chance to spend time with her, don't hesitate - DO IT!Fantastic Food Tour

Voor ons was de rondleiding van Beata door Boedapest precies wat we nodig hadden om ons avontuur in Boedapest te beginnen. Beata heeft ons op een zeer enthousiaste wijze over haar stad verteld en laten zien. Ze was kundig en had een mooie mix van geschiedenis, culinair en andere weetjes en verhalen. Ook het advies over het openbaar vervoer was zeer welkom. De dagen erna hebben we gebruik gemaakt van haar tips om zo de sfeer van de stad te voelen en proeven. Het programma was flexibel en werd door Beata met ons afgestemd gedurende de rondleiding door de stad, heel fijn! Dank je wel BeataBezoek aan Boedapest 27 t/m 31 december

Beata was a wonderful, delightful tour guide. Very professional and informative. She allowed us time to ask questions and was knowledgeable of the local food culture and its connection to the country’s history. From Paprika, Acacia Honey Tasting, Potato/Cheese Scones, Vegan Goulash Soup, and rich Langos with Cheese and Sour Cream, this was a food extravaganza that nicely capstoned our stay in Budapest. Thank you for being so accommodating and making the tour relevant for our teenagers and 7 year old as well! They all loved it very much. The Mercado FamilyDelicious and Fabulous
