I have been working as a local tour guide in Hungary since 2011. Budapest is my beautiful city where I was born and where I spent most of my life. Even though I have been travelling around the world since my early childhood, and I have lived in several countries, Hungary never ceased to be my home! I am proud of being a Hungarian and I passionatly like to show my country and tell about us Hungarians to my visitors. I really believe, that besides showing the main sights, it is also important to give a real local experience, showing the customs, the traditions, the gastronomy, the everyday life, the mentality and much more of Hungary. I speak both English and Swedish on a native level and I offer personal, tailor-made tours where I like to combine the historical facts with entertaining stories and legends. Due to my academic background, I encourage my visitors to feel free to raise questions about politics, religion, society, economy or anything else concerning life in Hungary. I also suggest visits to smaller, hidden treasures, off-the-beaten-track venues and show illustrations during the tours to make the experience really unforgettable! Let it be the capital, Budapest, or a small village in the beautiful Hungarian countryside, winetasting in a local family-run vinyard or a visit in the Jewish quarter, maybe real time-travelling back to the Communist era life. . . I am happy to guide you around! - Licensed Tour Guide, Számalk Oktatási és Informatikai Zrt., 2011. - International Studies BA, Eötvös Lóránd University, 2014. - International Relations MA, Corvinus University of Budapest, 2017. - Licensed tour guide in the Dohány Street Great Synagogue of Budapest, 2017.

Thank you to Veronika for our great personalized tour. As we were on a river cruise and had already seen a few select locations, we asked for hidden gems and her favorite places; Veronika delivered on our request. She is very knowledgeable about the city and its history and made the tour fun!

Veronika did a great job. She is knowledgeable, friendly and speaks excellent English. She was very flexible, and was able to plan the tour so as to accommodate our limited walking ability. She also went out of her way to take us to some specific areas we wanted to see. Veronika further offered some recommendations as to restaurants we might like to visit. I do not hesitate to recommend her services.
