Excuse me, do you know maybe where are the most amazing and interesting sights in Hungary? No? Then you are at the right spot, to find them with me! Hello there traveller and my future friend! My name is Petra, like the city in Jordan. I'm an experienced tour guide since 2015 and also licensed tour guide in the largest European Synagogue. I speak fluent English and in any case of necessity my Spanish can help me to survive and of course, I'm a native speaker of the fourth most difficult language in the world; Hungarian. I'm energetic, enthusiastic, a history nerd and I love to talk. I was also thinking about opening a private class of dad jokes, they are my favorite, the worse the better, and like every Hungarian, I speak the second official language of this country: sarcasm. I love challenges, my main profile is customized tours when my guests want to explore more in Budapest beside the main attractions. I'm also a big fan of legends and myths, and it would be great to share all the stories with you! In my opinion, the main specialty of my city, Budapest is, it's on the edge of modern and classic. I love to walk around and see the 19th century with all of its beauty and style then only two more steps to be shocked by the "neo-ugly" communist architecture. Join to one of my tours and let's laugh, eat (or drink) and learn our way together through Hungary and Budapest! Licensed Hungarian tour guide Licensed tour guide in Dohány Street Synagogue Licensed tour guide in Rumbach street Synagogue Bachelor of Hungarian Literature I do not have a license to give tours inside the Hungarian Parliement or the Hungarian State Opera. I don't own driving license or car, but I can arrange for a car and driver.

Overview of your Budapest tour

Explore the cultural center of Budapest with me! If you're interested in history, street food, going out, or street art in Budapest, as I am, you can find it all in one place, in the Jewish Quarter. During our tour, I will show you the depths and riches of Jewish heritage in the city. Dwelving into Jewish history, I'll show you the hidden Jewish treasures of the neighborhood with 3 synagogues. Get acquainted with the hip side of the district to see how this area became both the amusement and the cultural center of the city in the past 15 years. We'll take a look at the murals, that make the Jewish Quarter a true open-air gallery; the kosher restaurants, and last but not least I'll invite you into the most authentic local ruin pubs and cultural centers which are the top meeting points for locals and party people. Please keep in mind, the synagogues we visit on the tour are functioning religious places. On Friday afternoon, the whole Saturday, and on Jewish high holidays, they are closed.

Petra was a lovely knowledgeable guide who made our visit a lot of fun while introducing us to the city she loves. Petra met us promptly at our hotel and we spent a few minutes talking about our interests, expectations and indicating what we had already seen. Besides her deep knowledge about the Jewish Quarter and the history of Jews in Hungary, she shared with us insights into general life in Budapest. We learned so much and enjoyed spending time with a resident of this beautiful city. We ended at a ruin bar (very fun) and she gave us some recommendations for dining. As it turned out, we already had reservations at a restaurant she herself frequents. I highly recommend Petra.

We had a very informative and fun tour with Petra. She knows the Jewish history of Budapest and knows her way around town-even the secret routes. She also made great restaurant and bar recommendations and even made a dinner reservation for us at a very desirable restaurant. We even ran into her the next day while she was leading another tour and it was like running into an old friend!

Petra was great. Friendly and knowledge about the neighborhood. It was a 1-person tour and I’m quick, so we wrapped up early. She was nice enough to recommend a few places to eat and even took me to where the restaurants were located, and gave me a quick and dirty tour of the area they were in.
