Budapest is a vibrant, wonderful and safe place and once you've taken a tour with me you will forever fall in love with it. My passion is history.

Overview of your Budapest tour
If you have limited time in Budapest, this is a perfect option for you to get to know the city, the locals and to get your bearings. I will be ready with a city map to answer all your question regarding the city but if you have any other interest I will be happy to assist you in anything while talking about history, culture, recommendations, countryside-life and a lot else. Ideally, you will take this tour as early as possible after your arrival so that you can make the most of your city visit based on my pieces of advice. Unless you request otherwise, we are going to cover the most important sights and with a refreshment break on the way and try some tasty, unique Hungarian snacks such as the famous pogácsa (salty cone).

We spent a lovely 1/2 day with Barbie in Budapest! She spoke impeccable English, was very organized, energetic and we had such a great time! Barbie had the day planned out perfectly; I highly recommend booking a tour with her if you are looking for a fun tour of the city and must-see attractions.

We so enjoyed this tour with Barbie! From coffee at a teeny local coffee shop to using public transportation to get around the city, we had a great time learning about Budapest. Barbie is very knowledgeable and so warm and friendly. She is your dream host for this tour.
