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.

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 absolutely loved our tour with Rita. She customized the experience around our interests and was incredibly knowledgeable about Budapest’s history. Every question we asked was answered with depth and enthusiasm. Rita was also thoughtful, kind, and a joy to spend the day with. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for a top-notch guide in Budapest.
Excellent tour of an area we have previously visited but still learned many new things about it.
This was a wonderful tour. Just the right amount of information and tailored to our interests. Rita is charming and incredibly knowledgeable. If you are coming to Budapest I would strongly recommend a tour with Rita!
I spent two days with Rita touring Budapest and Danube Bend. She is a great tour guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and was well prepared to make Budapest the highlight of my trip to Europe. I highly recommend Rita.
- Enriching personal stories - Helpful images of city during WWII - Nice small museums that we would not have found ourselves
Rita is the perfect guide, super accommodating, fun and with broad knowledge of history and fun facts about Budapest. If you want to enjoy a different tour experience with a local flavor, her tours are highly recommended.
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.
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
