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 I'd love to show you the city I know - not just the famous sights, but the hidden corners, fascinating stories, local traditions, and little details that most visitors simply pass by. I am extremely lucky and proud to have gained first-hand knowledge from historians and archaeologists through my many years of studies. And I'm here to share it all with you but beware: my passion can be contagious. :) My private tours are for curious travellers who want to experience more than the average tourist. Along the way I'll share stories giving you a glimpse into the city beyond what you'll find in a guidebook. And if you have more time I'd suggest visiting our beautiful countryside: Szentendre is less than an hour away from Budapest & it's one of Hungary's most frequently visited town's by the River Danube. Everybody loves this little town, its colourful houses, cobblestone streets and hidden alleys, not to mention the fine restaurants, handmade crafts and art and its many churches. 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

The iconic Royal Palace is one of the most well-known sights in Budapest. Many people refer to it as the Buda Castle but did you know that the actual medieval Castle is well-hidden underneath? By entering the Museum we can explore the history of this stunning building from within, visit the Medieval Royal Chapel and watch centuries of history come to life. Enter the world of kings and queens, discover how the independent Hungarian spirit dealt with the Turkish, Habsburg, German, and Soviet occupation and how history shaped this stunning building and the lives of those residents in the Castle District. Visit the surrounding gardens, walk in the footsteps of Sisi and listen to stories of how this era was erased during Communism like it never existed. I'll show you WW2 photos so you can see how badly damaged the Palace was but yet again reborn after several years of excavation works.

Your Budapest tour itinerary

I'll meet you at your hotel (Option1) OR you can make your own journey to the Castle District (Option 2). This is a three-hour guided tour inside and around the Royal Palace. I will take you through the centuries and will introduce you to the important historical figures and events that influenced its history and architecture. Discover our connection to Austria, the rise and fall of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and the most loved Habsburgs in Hungary. Please be aware that there are many stairs and it's rather cold in the basement even in summer. **This itinerary can be customized to suit your needs. Do not hesitate to contact me.
