Hello, I am Niki, a licensed Hungarian tour guide. Budapest, the heart-stealing capital of Hungary is my place of birth. I grew up and lived all my life here, except a school year in Coventry, U. K. where I improved my English. As a tour guide, I have 20 years of professional experience with travellers mainly from the U. S. A. , Canada, the U. K. , the Netherlands, Germany, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, India, Korea, and I hope YOU are going to be next! I have a strong passion for history, archeology and fine arts. I believe in lifelong learning to secure that the information I share with my travelers is always accurate and up-to-date. I always design my tours to be informative as well as inspiring and entertaining. My motto is: feel good and get more than expected! Come with me and travel like everyday residents of Budapest on the old underground or the legendary yellow trams. Let's discover the main tourist attractions and some hidden treasures of the city that only locals know. Listen to personal stories of life in a Central European capital which had long been hidden behind the iron curtain and is free now. If you stay longer, let's visit some of my favorite places outside Budapest. Lovely old palaces, charming little towns, picturesque landscape and a lot of interesting stories are waiting for you. All my tours are fully customized to your interests and flexible on the day(s) to take account of any special events taking place or the weather. With me, as your own private guide, you will have the time to fully experience everything, stopping to take the perfect photo or popping into one of the historical cafés, enjoy local delicacies or the shops we pass. Be my guest!

West of the Danube River, the Castle Hill of Budapest features some of the oldest attractions of the city: the Castle (Old Royal Palace) and the Old Town. This area is famous for architectural masterpieces, cobblestoned passages and impressive courtyards. UNESCO World Heritage sites like Matthias Church and Fishermen's Bastion are unmissable. So is the Danube riverside view with Gellert Hill and the Statue of Liberty atop. If you combine this tour with my 4-hour Pest-Side Walking Tour, your experience of Budapest will be complete!

We spent wonderful 3 hours with Niki. She has been extremely knowledgeable and transmitted to us her love for the city and its historical peculiarities and detailed. We have seen the old city and Niki showed us secret paths away from the tourist masses to see the palace itself, but also enjoy the old streets. She treated us with wonderful strudels and e alpines what else we could see in the city during our short stay. Niki made us the most enjoyable and pleasant walk through the old city!
