Hi there! Nice to meet you

To make MY Budapest YOUR Budapest is what motivates me, and I just can't get tired of it. Though I have an international background -- born in Romania, raised in California -- Hungarian is my mother tongue and I've lived more years in Budapest now than in any other city.

Coming from journalism, I started working for Withlocals.com as a tour captain, designing some of the original Budapest tours. That's when I realized how uplifting it is to be a tour host, plus it's also about communications. So here I am.

I'm happy to respond to personalized requests with further specialties: JEWISH BUDAPEST TOUR — BELLE ÉPOQUE / ART NOUVEAU ARCHITECTURE TOUR — JEWISH QUARTER GONE PARTY DISTRICT: 'THE HAPPIEST GHETTO' TOUR — MUSIC TOUR — CHURCH TOUR —

So feel free to ask about any specific interests and I will respond.

Also, if you wish not to walk, I'm happy to use public transport or even take you around by car. Yet another option is the public bike-sharing system called Bubi.

It was incredible to get to know Budapest through Gabor. He is very interested and embedded into the local cultural scene as well as very knowledgeable and passionate about his city and country. Our tour was focused on history and architecture and I think we only scratched the surface of Gabor's knowledge. Gabor was very respectful of our time, ensuring we were able to see the most important places in our limited time together. He even stayed with us an extra hour to allow us to see more.

Gabor was excellent at showing us the best of Budapest. Both the major sights and the subtle cultural and historical aspects of the city. He provided great recommendations and is full of knowledge. He is deliver and tailored his tours to our interests. We came away with a deeper understanding of the culture of this part of the world. Gabor’s tours were fully authentic and as in depth as we wanted to go. CB and MB travellers

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. History, Culture, and People

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! Great tour with Gabor

Gabor was a wonderful host on our cycle tour in Budapest. He interacted well with us and was able to provide us with interesting information that he knew would appeal to us. His knowledge of the area is excellent. Thanks! A wonderful cycle around Pest.

We enjoyed all the information and sights Gabor B shared with us. We were a group of 4 adults and after a few emails, and a short discussion when we met Gabor, he was able to tailor a walk for us. We went to areas we had not explored and also streets we had walked prior,— and didn’t realize the history we had just passed by. A great way to get a sense of Budapest!Interesting walk through Budapest

My friend and I wanted a walking tour to experience Budapest, its past present and more. Gábor is such a cool and knowledgeable person that he tailored the tour to fit our needs. We ended up traveling the length and breadth of Budapest through his eyes, talking about history, culture and architecture of this spectacular Central European city! Exceptional Budapest experience witg Gabor

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 is a very experienced guide with a vast amount of knowledge about history, architecture and politics. We know the city quite well but he still has found a way to tailor the tour to our interests and entertain us with a lot of stories we hadn’t heard of before. Very knowledgeable
