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!

I don't own driving license or car, but I can arrange for a car and driver.

This tour is a classical Budapest sightseeing program following the route of the Hungarian "guerilla" artist, Michael Kolodko's mini statues. It's a perfect trip for first-time visitors because many of the statues are near to main attractions, but at the same time, it's a special experience, as others are located in the local neighborhouds. At the same time we can see and learn about the main sights, like Chain bridge, but then we can just mingle with Hungarians on the residential streets of the Jewish Quarter This walking tour is a real treasure hunt; we have paper sheets with the list of statues we have to find, I only give you hints about the location, but I don't point on the little statues, it's your job to find them. Don't worry, everybody will ace this test! And in the end, your success is honored with a small delicious Hungarian surprise. The perfect combination: a bit of a general, a bit of the hidden gems.
I booked Petra for my group of 12 for our first day in Budapest. What a great experience. She worked with me to create exactly the unique experience I was hoping for. She was informative, engaging and fun. My group loved her and loved the tour, all of them praised it. I will definitely recommend Petra to anyone coming to Budapest.
Our mini-statue tour was terrific. Petra was wonderful… both informative and charming. We learned much about Budapest and its history as we hunted for the statues. We have rarely had such a knowledgeable and personable guide in our many years of international travel!
What would a traveler want from a guide? To be well informed, to know how to get around, to make travelers feel safe and included. How were Petra for me and my group? Outstanding! Beyond any expectations. I could see her passion for her city and guiding in every little detail in how she was explaining the history, showing or pointing out places, and leading us in hunting the mini statues throughout the city. Welcoming, accommodating, fun... this is Petra and I highly recommend her. You can't go wrong !
- First, we meet at your accommodation or wherever we discuss it in advance. - We start the tour in the Jewish district where we have to find 3 statues, and thanks to their locations, we can see the New York Café, and the Grand Synagogue. - Next we find the rest of the mini statues downtown, and see the Parliament and the St Steven Basilica. - Then we take the Metro 2 to arrive at the Buda side. Our statue hunt in Buda starts in the Castle district, then goes through the Promenade. - The last stop in Buda is the former Moscow Square, an important junction. We take the famous tram 4-6 from here, and across Margaret Bridge, we arrive back in Pest, where we find the last statue of the hunt. - If you have any special request the tour is customizable.
