Dear Visitor! Thank you for showing interest in my profile, I might be your future guide, driver and host. Let me introduce myself, I'm András (38) born and raised in the lovely city of Pécs, in southern Hungary. I've lived in the US, the Netherlands and Germany, hence I mix well and communicate effortlessly. I feel a deep affection towards my hometown, therefore I think guiding is just the right line of work for me. I am a fully licensed, wholehearted guide, who is always in high spirits and does his job with great passion. My own approach is halfway between a local historian and a comedian. I like to be aware of the fine points and always try to paint a lifelike picture of the past to be able to draw the lesson and concentrate on what the twists and turns of history teaches us about life today. I believe that Pécs is the perfect place to learn about ups and downs, prosperity, devastation, survival and resilience. This gorgeous town - the 2010 Cultural Capital of Europe, that is part of the UNESCO World Heritage - has a long and exciting history that has left it's marks all over the face of the city. Pécs has a rather unique atmosphere, climate, a certain kind of energy that has made the area not just habitable, but livable for almost 2000 years. I can show you the highlights of Pécs and introduce you to local history and arts along a walking tour in the city center. If you would be more interested in the life of this place, we can spend a whole day in Pécs diving into local craftsmanship and rejoice in the panoramic view of the city from amazing lookout points. I also offer daytrips that include not only the sightseeing program in Pécs, but discovering the surrounding area and the many centuries old wine culture, by visiting an authentic, private winery where you can taste the excellent wines that are popular and in demand in Western Europe too. You can find all the details in my tour offers, but if there are any special requests, any certain topic that you are interested, I can accommodate the tour to your needs and expectations. You can message me even if your preferred date is set to unavailable, maybe we can figure out a solution and make time somehow. I can't wait to guide you in Pécs, my wonderful hometown and provide you with an inspiring, illuminating and hilarious tour to make the best possible experience! Don't hesitate to contact me! Your wholehearted guide: András -Certified tour guide -Master degree in law -Driver's licence since 2001

We had a wonderful tour with András, who is a very attentive knowledgeable guide. As we have been in Pecs only for 2 hours he customised the tour very well, so that we made the most of our short stay and we will definitely come back to learn more.

Dear Margareta, I'm very happy that this small sample of our nice city has made such an effect on you. I'll be waiting for your return and work on a deeper dive into Pécs! All the best to you, András :)
We are very happy with the tour András organized for our trip to Pécs. Our group of 4 adults enjoyed the tour he designed for us. We started with a short walking tour of the center of historic Pécs before driving through town and into the countryside. As we are all wine drinkers, he took us to a wine festival in Palkonya. He suggested which wines we could try and even...

Dear Hanne, thank you for your kind words and extensive review! It was a lot of fun to guide your team, we were very lucky with all of the circumstances. Well, a little more shade would have been nice. :) I'm very glad you had a good time, and that I could provide you with more insight about the current affairs of my country. If you decide to return, don't hesitate to...
We were on a Viking River Cruise Tour on the Danube River. Andras met us at Mochacs, Hungary. He set up three different winery experiences and a lunch. Two of the wineries were small boutique wineries. This allowed us to interact directly with the Owners/Wine Makers which is always a special treat. The third winery was a very large operation providing a stark...

Dear Doug, I'm very glad you had a good time and the plan to show you a wider spectrum of wineries have worked. It's also very fortunate that you had the chance to try local varieties too. Thank you for your kind words and sorry that I answered your rating with a slight delay. I wish you all the best, András
We were so glad that we booked our tour with András (as opposed to an included ship excursion)! We saw so much more, learned so much more and had an incredible adventure. Andras worked with us ahead of time to determine our interests, scheduled those items we wanted to see, including spending time with locals, and adjusted times accordingly when we needed to. His...

The pleasure is mine! This tour was unlike others, there was nothing touristic about the NGO, yet it was a piece of local reality that probably tells a bit more than some museums. Especially on a monday afternoon. :) I'm grateful you brought givingness to my hometown and I'm happy I could provide a good spirit of Pécs.
