Dear Traveler!
I provide private tours with a personalized character. I aim to provide local travel experiences for those who are keen to go deeper into a city/country and its culture.
My tour selection includes unique city tours, interesting culinary programs, personalized art tours and wine tours to distinguished wine regions.
Let me talk now about my connection to Hungary, my home country.
I love my country and I love my city.
I was born and raised here. My family has suffered a lot from the Holocaust, therefore I know a lot about the history of the country and of the jewry in Hungary.
I love Hungary, because I know and understand all the struggles Hungary has gone through.
I love the Hungarians for their hearts.
Finally, I love Hungary because of the countless things to do here: Hungary awaits everybody with a capital having one of the finest panoramas, awesome architectural heritage, great bath houses, beautiful people, vibrant cultural life, dishes full of character, quality wines, emotional musical heritage and fascinating gypsy music.
You need to know about me that my heart is for the unique places and activities the guidebooks don't talk about. I like when my guests experience what's beyond the surface here in Budapest and Hungary.
Please browse through my tour options listed right below here(for those who prefer complete flexibility) or choose a tour listed under "András's Tours".
Program options:
• Private Budapest sightseeing: on a 3-4 hours tour you will get acquainted with all the famous and magnificient sites/places making Budapest the pearl of the Danube.
• Places left out of guidebooks - 10 hidden treasures of Budapest
This tour will bring urban rarities closer to you. Rarities which are known only by a few locals.
Maybe it is an unusual building, a little square, a communist pub…A hidden passage…A small museum with beautiful and rare furniture…. A beautiful little garden in the heart of the downtown…a hidden cafe with incredible frescos… a unique apartment…an unusual pub…remains of the former ghetto wall. . . an aristocratic palace in Pest, where the rooms and salons evoke former noble splendour?
Make sure you see more than what the standard city tours cover!
• Wine tour
You will visit an old-fashioned vineyard located in the nice wine hills of Etyek. While the wine maker shows you around you will taste 6 different wine types of the winery.
Tasty hungarian food is also included!
• Hungarian lunch in a Hungarian home
See how local people live while tasting typical Hungarian flavours!
For lunch we will serve you a complete Hungarian meal, with some good Hungarian wine!:)
"It was really an unforgetable experience to have lunch at his house, where we had the rare chance to taste true Hungarian cuisine" Lili Goh, Singapore
• The charming riverside town of Szentendre
Szentendre, the small but famous, charming and artsy riverside city (just 20 minutes drive from Budapest) with its beautiful buildings and streets is a must for anyone who has an interest in art and folklore.
A knowledgeable ceramic artist will host you in an authentic art studio, and let you see how fine hungarian ceramics are created!
You can also try your hand and create your own ceramic(optional). The program is designed for those who like ceramics and desire something more authentic than just visiting an art shop.
After the arts studio visit you will have time to explore the charming town.
• Piano house concert
My whole-hearted tip for you!
Enjoy an intimate classical piano concert in the cozy downtown home of a renowned Hungarian piano master.
You will not only enjoy a very personal musical experience, but you will also witness that classical music can be made alive and personal for everybody.
You are invited to take a seat on the couch of Mr. Fellegi and enjoy the Hungarian melodies.
"I have attended many classical concerts but have never had the feeling of (such) direct connection with the performer and the music provided by the home concert. " Caroline Gallant
