Knowledgeable, personable, punctual!
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.

A wonderful walk
Andras was a very in formative guide during our walk through the castle district. He was easy to talk to and readily shared his knowledge about the area and other aspects of life in Budapest. Thanks for a great morning out! It is so much better to be on a private tour than on a large group tour.

If you want a thoughtful, very articulate, comprehensively bi-lingual (Hungarian/English) tour guide Nicholas is your man. He cares deeply about Hungary, yet he does not shrink from explaining some of the very sad chapters in its complex past. He is simply an excellent guide and a fascinating conversationalist. We thoroughly recommend him.

Exceptional Budapest experience witg Gabor
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!
