Fantastic Tour with Adam – A Must-Do Experience! From the moment we met our tour guide Adam, we instantly loved him. He was warm, engaging, and full of interesting fun facts. Despite it being one of the hottest days, Adam was incredibly accommodating and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the tour. From start to finish, he shared fascinating historical insights along with personal stories that brought each location to life—it was both informative and entertaining. One of the highlights was our visit to the castle, where Adam introduced us to what he claimed (and we agree!) is the best strudel in Hungary. What a treat! Adam truly knows his hidden gems and his passion for the city is infectious. This was a wonderful tour filled with beautiful sights and rich history. We highly recommend Adam and his tours—you won’t be disappointed!

If I had a coat of arms, it would say: „Entertain and educate” My goal is to show you the best parts of the city, tell you the most interesting stories, show you most amazing views. As you are enjoying your unique Hungarian experience, you won’t even recognize how much you learn about our history, culture, gastronomy, and so on… Born and raised in Budapest, I can tell you so many insider details and stories, that at the end of our time together you will feel like you’ve spent your whole life here. I consider myself lucky to be an eyewitness to a sleeping beauty's transformation to a multi-cultural metropolis. While my hometown was changing into a Central-European hub, I finished my studies in 2011, the last chapter was finishing my Master’s program in tourism and guiding. As they say… the rest is history! (Pun is always intended.) As a qualified tour guide, I provide tailor-made boutique tours 100% customized to your needs. I am working with several river cruise companies such as Viking, Tauck, Scenic, Emerald, AMA Waterways. This way I have the necessary knowledge to arrange post, or pre-cruise tours without repeating the sights you’ve seen before. I am not necessarily a 'regular' guide, I am more into helping my travellers understand the city they are touring, instead of citing facts and figures about buildings and statues. I strongly believe that it is easier to fall in love with a city as we understand more. • Tour-guide licence issued by Hungarian Trade Licensing Office Licensed • Tour guide in the Dohány street synagogue and in the Rumbach street synagogue Important notice: I am not a driver, but I am happy to arrange a car or minivan with a driver for our tour together.

A historic walking tour on the Buda side with a local guide
Overview of your Budapest tour
With this tour you can discover every part of the famous Buda Castle district, those parts as well, that the sightseeing tours provided by Danube cruise companies can not - due to the limited time available for sightseeing. This tour is meant to be a relaxed pace walking tour, where there is always time for a slice of strudel and coffee, or to spend time admiring the views of the city. --- Kindly note that the Castle bazaar is an all time favourite venue of the Hungarian government to host diplomatic events, in case of such we wont be able to cross the facility Also should there be a concert, or wedding in the Matthias church the venue remains closed for the public. I do my best to keep the calendar up to date and block those slots when a visit is not possible.

Adam is congenial, knowledgeable and articulate - what more could you want?
Adam M is the ultimate professional guide. A multi-generational Hungarian, Adam's vast knowledge of all things Hungarian, revealing family experiences, intelligence, creativity, kindness, patience, good nature, and sense of humor combine to give you a delightful, rewarding experience. We booked Adam for three tours, Buda, Pest, and night. He customized to eliminate overlap. Each one was delightfully educational. His great sense of humor added a noticeable measure of fun. We highly recommend Adam Marot.
This was the second of two great tours we took with Adam. His extensive knowledge of the history of the Buda Castle district made this tour extremely interesting. I don't think there was a question that he couldn't answer on the tour. His enthusiasm about the Castle district was contagious and made the tour all that much more enjoyable. He also took some amazing pictures for us using reflections from puddles on the ground. I would unreservedly recommend Adam as a guide for this tour.
