Hi! Welcome to my site! I am a professional, registered tour guide with a passion for my country...

Visiting the Royal Palace, Matthias Church, Fishermen's Bastion and the famous Matthias Fountain is a must, but the Castle District has so much more to offer. There are dozens of stunning buildings well hidden but well worth a visit that most tourists (even Hungarians) just walk by without even noticing. Did you know that there used to be two Jewish quarters in the Buda Castle area? Would you like to know which building was used as the SS headquarters during WW2? Or how the Maria Magdalena Tower - the only remaining part of the church - survived the war and the Communist regime? Have you heard of the fascinating underground cave system and the hospital that also functioned as a shelter during WW2 and the 1956 Freedom Fights? I'll tell you about the exciting excavation works and finds of this area and show you WW2 photos so you can have a glimpse into our past whilst exploring the present. This tour will give you a rich historical experience from the medieval past through the wars to the present day.
We'll start on the royal side of the Castle district with the Palace and its surrounding buildings. Have a coffee break (or lunch if you prefer) before continuing our walk to the residential area of the Castle district. Please choose from the following options: Option 1: Matthias Church, the most famous church in Buda. You will love its history and the unique and spectacular interior. Option 2: visit the 14th century Medieval Jewish Prayer House that was forgotten for centuries and discovered only in the 196os. (closed on Mondays and Saturdays) Option 3: for a special WW2 experience join a 6o-minute guided tour in the Hospital in the Rock bunker hospital. Please note that the temperature is much cooler down there so make sure you wear appropriate clothing. At the end of the tour, if you wish I'll accompany you back to the hotel.
