Welcome to My Budapest! Budapest isn’t just a city I guide, it’s my home. I’m Andrea, a local, independent private guide, born and raised in this beautiful city. For nearly 30 years, I’ve been helping visitors discover the very best of Hungary. Along the way, I’ve worked with top hotels, business travelers, families, independent explorers, and government delegations, guiding Presidents, Prime Ministers, and diplomats in cooperation with the Hungarian State Department. I don’t believe in rushed sightseeing or scripted tours. I believe in stories, connections, and moments that stay with you long after you’ve returned home. Having lived abroad and studied in the United States at the University of Maryland, my approach blends deep local roots with an international understanding of what travelers truly value. Whether I’m guiding families, first-time visitors, or high-profile international guests, I share Jewish history and heritage with sensitivity, respect, and heart, creating experiences that are personal, thoughtful, and deeply meaningful. Every tour I create is tailored to you, your interests, your pace, and your curiosity. With the comfort of a private luxury Mercedes vehicle and the freedom to adapt along the way, you can simply relax and experience Budapest as it’s meant to be felt. If you’d like to discover Budapest, Hungary, with someone who truly cares, I’d love to welcome you. Let’s turn your visit into a lasting memory.

Andrea was so flexible, supportive, and personable! Mother Nature conspired against us with such low water in the Danube at Budapest that our entire river cruise schedule shifted last minute ... and Andrea was able to accommodate that and move our tour to one day earlier (we got very lucky!). While we had to juggle things around, we still enjoyed a first-class and custom experience with Andrea. We saw so much more of Budapest along with the local perspective and insight. We finished the day soaking in the thermal baths in the Szechenyi bath house -- such a memorable conclusion of the day! And ... Andrea's English is excellent!!

I would give Andrea even more stars if I could! This was my first time coming to Budapest, and I wanted to see the Jewish sites in the city as well as going to Gyor to see the town where my family is from. Andrea did a fantastic job customizing a tour to my needs and explaining the complicated history of the country. It was fascinating to learn not only about the history of the country, but the history of the Jews in Hungary. I highly recommend Andrea for any tours you're exploring!

Andrea was Fantastic ! Professional, Knowledgeable, Relaxed, Happy, Kind, Punctual .... all qualities that describe Andrea. She set the exact itinerary we desired and remained flexible throughout the day, adjusting the plan as we wished. I would strongly encourage those interested in a 1/2 day, full day, or two day tour to contact Andrea and inquire as to her availability.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Andrea in Budapest! Before arriving, Andrea suggested a customized all-day tour plan, which was extremely interesting and diverse. On the scheduled day, after we learned that our subsequent river cruise excursion would cover some of the same locations, Andrea suggested alternatives to visit with her so that we did not have to duplicate site visits. As part of our plan, Andrea had arranged for a beautiful Mercedes car and very nice driver to take us around. Andrea is amazingly knowledgeable about Budapest, its local culture and history, and is a really warm and friendly person. We loved spending time with her! Andrea and her parents have lived in Budapest their whole lives (other than a year or two in Maryland, while her father had a D.C. posting), so we were able to hear personal stories that brought history to life. Great visit!

If you are looking for one of the best - most complete tour of Budapest…look no further. Andrea and past generations of her family are from there and her knowledge of the culture and history is second to none. There is one thing to point out the sites - but when you combine them with stories of the history, the background and impact….you have a great day. My wife and I actually engaged with Andrea over two days; which assured we left nothing out with plenty of time to visit inside the sites We couldn’t have been happier and recommend her highly
