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.

We had the pleasure of taking our first (full day) tour with Adam today and it was tailored exactly to our needs. Adam is everything we had hoped for and he was knowledgeable, willing, and able to answer our many questions about Hungary and Budapest’s history and culture as well as well as providing the opportunity to experience some of the best coffee, gelato and langos around. He has a great sense of humor too. We can’t wait for our next walking tour with Adam tomorrow before we begin our River Cruise of the Danube. Without hesitation, we recommend Adam Marot as a personal tour guide to help you explore Budapest and surrounding areas. Alan and Carol Lowne (USA).

Marguerite K.United States
Adam did a fantastic job. We were unable to give the whole day to the tour and he quickly revised his plan and adjusted the tour. We had such a great time and learned so much. Our only regret was not being able to do the whole tour. We will return. He has an excellent understanding of his history and speaks excellent English. Showed us how beautiful Budapest is. Thanks so much Adam.

Adam is truly the perfect tour guide. He has the knowledge, enthusiasm, patience, professionalism, and warm personality that we appreciated every moment of our eight hour tour. Everything went quite smoothly. We certainly enjoyed our time with him, and learned so much. Thank you, Adam! Susan Minor
MaryJo G.United States
Adam did an exceptional job showing us the highlights of Budapest. His knowledge of the history of the country helped us understand the struggles and successes they have seen. He was friendly and receptive to answering all our questions. He was helpful in directing us to dining venues and suggesting other things we could do and/or see. We would have Adam do another tour for us in a heartbeat.
