Welcome and hello my dear future guests! My name is Dóra, a licensed tour guide in Budapest since 2016. I've dedicated my time to guide people from all around the world, which means thousands of satisfied guests:) I was born and raised in Budapest, which gave the basis of a perfect beginning of a beautiful friendship between the city and me. We have a quite old relationship we've changed together, we know each other, this way I could become a really eyewitness of the change of Budapest from the previous system to the present one. Coming to Budapest? Great! I LOVE Budapest and it's time to share it with you I believe that we can connect to each other through the culture. So let me share my love, my culture, my knowledge and my enthusiasm with you. I'll guide you through my city, uncovering its excited history and showing you its well-known, as well as hidden treasures. I believe in the story telling tours, but if you need dry facts as a fan of history I can provide it to you also. I think that the present and the future can not be understandable without knowing the past. I am sensitiv to people's needs and emotions, I can read the room, therefore I'm able to provide you an unique and personalised experience. Because sightseeing is an experience, a feeling, that can make your holiday. Whether you are looking for a real understanding of the history and culture of Budapest, or if you just looking for the special spots in the city, everything is possible. I'm full of stories and fun facts and the corners of the streets just greet me:) I'm going to show you how and where it all began. Feel free to get in touch and let's work out how to make the most of your time! It's my job and my passion to show you the wonders of Budapest so that you go home with precious memories and the feeling that you wanna come back! Just let me know and I will create a tailor-made tour for you, according to your interests and wishes. Now, I'm inviting you for a trip to BUDAPEST to admire all faces of my city through the different historical sights, buildings, streets. Therefore I'm here to give you the opportunity to see this city or the country with me. But just let my tours speak instead of me! See you soon!

Overview of your Budapest tour

Dear guests let me show you a unique and special part of the Elisabeth Town, the so called Jewish Quarter in about 3 and a half hours. This tour is about all those things and sights and information that you maybe always wanted to know about it. I will share The history of the Jewish people in Hungary, their religion in the past and in the present through the buildings and synagogues which are located in a quiet small area in the downtown of Budapest. I am going to lead you around in the social centre of Budapest to show you the most important places and buildings which are connected to the present Jewish community and are forming the face of the Jewish District. The past left its marks in the Jewish Quarter and I would like to share my information about it. Seasoned with humour, personal stories and a traditional Jewish cake at the end. The focus will be on the tradition, everyday life and the persecution of the World War II.
