Szia! I am Gabriella. A very warm welcome from Budapest! Let me introduce myself a bit! Already at the age of 14, I knew that I want to work with people, so I specialized in tourism. I have been in the tourism industry for 22 years. In the off-season, I like to travel, play with my son, ride a horse. I think I am a very helpful, talkative, joyful person who loves to give happiness to the people around her. I am a cosmopolitan lady who feels at home anywhere. I love challenges, discover different nations' culture, food and being in an multicultural environment. I love to stroll around and be carried away by the beauty of the nature. Budapest is the Paris of eastern Europe, it is cited as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, ranked as "the world's second best city " by Condé Nast Traveler and " Europe's 7th most idyllic place to live " by Forbes. The city lies at the rank of the Danube which divides the city into two parts: Buda and Pest. Budapest is a real cosmopolitan city with strengths in commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education and entertainment. It is ranked as the second fastest-developing urban economy in Europe which is waiting you to discover it. Being a local patriote, I am inviting you to come with me strolling around in my city where there is always something going on. . . I have a 4 years old BMW 116 ED so three people can easily be seated and if you are more than three, then I will rent you a minivan. All my tours are customizable upon request. - I am a licenced guide since 1997 - Driving licence since 1991, so I am a driver-guide. - I am an English teacher. - I have a French language exam. Being a fully licenced guide, I have no restrictions.

Overview of your Budapest tour

It is a full day wine tasting tour: it might sound long, but it won't be-believe me! While you are enjoying my driving I tell you a lot about wine-growing, the traditions, our 22 different wine regions, etc. As lake Balaton is my "love", each time when I am getting closer to this lake there is a special sensation I really want to pass on to you. So farI did it with success. We visit 2-3 wine cellars (I have some friends who make their own wines so if you feel like it we can have a really unique experience at 1-2 small, local winemakers as well) , tasting different wines, having a typical Hungarian lunch with local ingredients, crossing Central Europe biggest sweet water lake by ferry, visiting our nicest Benedictine abbey at Tihany, strolling on the elegant promenade of Balatonfüred and finally discover Siófok: the vibrating center of the southern part of the lake. We reach the capital with a re-charged soul. I am flexible enough to customize this tour according to your requests.

Gabriella took us on a delightful tour through Hungarian countryside to the north end of Lake Balaton where we visited two wineries. The tastings gave us a nice introduction to the unique grape varieties grown and wines produced around Lake Balaton. Our leisurely visit to Tagyon Birtok winery was especially pleasant. The winemaker/owner conducted the tasting and cellar tour, which made for an authentic and memorable experience.

Gabriella was very personable, knowledgeable, reliable and flexible. We very much enjoyed our day with her, as we did an all day tour to Lake Balaton, including wine tastings. We would highly recommend Gabriella as a guide, and a tour of this region in general.

We had a fabulous day trip to Lake Balaton with Gabriella, a very interesting and relaxed day out! Lovely visit to the winery for lunch and to the pretty town of Tihany on the lake. Thank you Gabriella!
