Hi there, welcome to Budapest! My name is Magdalena, I was born and raised in Budapest and I've always been amazed by the beauty of my hometown. As a guide and a proud Budapest local, I'd like to share this feeling with you. My motto as a professional tour guide is "Enjoy the ride!" - rather than just listing dry facts I'd like to tell you stories. Stories of the past, present and of the people of Budapest. Having travelled around Europe and having lived in the USA, UK, Spain & Argentina I must say that Budapest is the perfect city for me. It is the combination of all you need: stunning architecture, rich history, unique spas, great restaurants & the coolest pubs, a lively nightlife and exciting cultural & arts landscape. I invite you to discover and "feel the city" with me - both walking and on two wheels!

Magdalena was a wonderful guide for our tour of Pest. We learned a lot about the important landmarks and about the history of the city and of Hungary. She communicates excellently in English and shared interesting and helpful information about the city and the country. We highly recommend her should you find yourself visiting Budapest.
Ray S.United States
Magdalena was an outstanding, knowledgeable guide who made our tour enjoyable. Well versed on the history of Budapest and flexible in our itinerary planning. Highly recommend Magdalena.
Colin C.United Kingdom
Magdelena was brilliant. She extended her usual 4 hr tour to 6 hours to enable us to walk around all the significant sights in Budapest - from a list which we had requested. Her English is impeccable. She paced the day very well and gave a huge amount of explanation and information in a way which we could all absorb and enjoy. She's extremely well informed and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend her to others.
Brian T.United States
An excellent tour led by Magdalena! She is an exceptional guide most knowledgeable of the local history and sights. She is a very pleasant personality and a pleasure to be with. Very highly recommended!
Scott P.United States
Magdalena met us at our hotel and took us on a great walking tour of Budapest. We saw all the sites that we wanted to see and she provided us with a ton of information about the city and the history of Hungary. She added alot of personal information to the tour about her life in Budapest and made sure we tried some of the local food. When the tour was over she got us back to our hotel and even took the time to show us how to get to the dock for river cruise we were doing that night. I would definitely book with Magdalena again for a different tour if I am ever back in Budapest
