Hi! Welcome to my site! I am a professional, registered tour guide with a passion for my country especially Budapest and the Danube Bend. I was born and raised in Budapest, our capital city and now I live in Nagymaros, a small quiet town located in the Danube Bend just opposite Visegrád. And of course I consider myself very lucky 'cause I feel at home in Budapest just as much as in the Danube Bend. I am also extremely lucky and proud to have gained firsthand knowledge from historians and archeologists through my many years of studies. And I'm here to share it all with you but beware: my passion can be contagious. :) There's so much to see and do in Budapest and in the Danube Bend so I've put together a list of tours offering the best of every city. Buda and Pest have so much to offer it's hard to know where to begin. Even if you only plan to spend a couple of days in Hungary there are sights that shouldn't be missed eg. the Buda Castle District one of the most beautiful and romantic parts of the city with famous sights like the Matthias Church or the Fishermen's Bastion. But if you have more time I'd suggest visiting the countryside: the Danube Bend is less than an hour away from Budapest & it's one of Hungary's most frequently visited regions blessed with breathtaking scenery and fabulous architecture of different historical eras. Szentendre and Visegrád offer hours of fascination for visitors curious about the country's rich medieval history, castles, palaces and churches not to mention the fine restaurants, handmade crafts and art. There are so many stories and so much to see that I can't wait to show it all to you! :) Check out my tours and don't forget that all of them can be altered to suit your needs and interests. My -very much loved - job is to make your day special so join me on a trip to remember! :) I am a professional tour guide, registered by the Hungarian Trade Licensing Office. I also have the license to guide in the History Museum, Budapest Dohany Street Synagogue Rumbach Synagogue and the Basilica of Esztergom.

Overview of your Budapest tour

This tour is for you if you'd like to spend more time discovering the most famous sights in Pest. Discover the history and admire the architecture of St. Stephen's Basilica and the Opera House before hopping on the cutest and oldest underground in continental Europe. Visit Vajdahunyad Castle - it's said to be modelled from a castle of the same name in Transylvania, Romania - the famous Szechenyi Spa and of course Heroes' Square is a must. Take a pleasant stroll in Kossuth Square where I'll introduce you to the history of the Parliament building and tell you about the 1956 Freedom Fights. If you'd like we can walk down to the river and visit the famous 'Shoes on the Danube Bank' - a tribute to the Jewish people who were murdered by the Arrow Cross Party. I'll show you old photos - before and after WW2 - of the city to make your trip to our past more memorable.
