The Szechenyi Chain Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. The bridge has a main span of 503 metres (1,650 ft) and was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Hungary. It was opened in 1849. The bridge is named after Count István Széchenyi, a leader of the Hungarian Reform Era, who initiated its construction. It was designed by the English engineer William Tierney Clark. At the time of its construction, the Szechenyi Chain Bridge was considered one of the wonders of the world. It is still the widest suspension bridge in Europe.
We had a wonderful day with Nicholas exploring Budapest. He understands the history and political changes in Budapest and discusses them in the context of his own family’s experience. Charming introduction to the city. Jennifer & Gina
We had a 3-hour walk with Gabor around Budapest and it was amazing. He asked us questions when he first met us to know what we preferred to hear about and throughout the walking tour he would modify his talk based on what we knew and what we still had to learn. It was a perfect morning. We heard about Hungarian history (and the history of all Central Europe) and he gave us specific notes about buildings and restaurants that was very helpful to understand the city. We had 2 adults and 2 teenagers and we all loved it. Take a tour with Gabor - you will very much enjoy it.
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!
So fortunate to have experienced an amazing tour of Budapest! Wish we were here for more time to explore the other suggestions provided while touring. Gabor's historical and city knowledge was truly super and he personalized the tour for our needs. Probably the best with locals tour we've ever had and we have used with locals in multiple cities around the world. Thx so much Gabor!
