Can't recommend Andrea highly enough. Strong on history and context - but more than anything brought Budapest to life as only a life long resident can. Really enjoyable way to spend four hours. You'll be in excellent hands.

Welcome to My Budapest! Budapest isn’t just a city I guide, it’s my home. I’m Andrea, a local, independent private guide, born and raised in this beautiful city. For nearly 30 years, I’ve been helping visitors discover the very best of Hungary. Along the way, I’ve worked with top hotels, business travelers, families, independent explorers, and government delegations, guiding Presidents, Prime Ministers, and diplomats in cooperation with the Hungarian State Department. I don’t believe in rushed sightseeing or scripted tours. I believe in stories, connections, and moments that stay with you long after you’ve returned home. Having lived abroad and studied in the United States at the University of Maryland, my approach blends deep local roots with an international understanding of what travelers truly value. Whether I’m guiding families, first-time visitors, or high-profile international guests, I share Jewish history and heritage with sensitivity, respect, and heart, creating experiences that are personal, thoughtful, and deeply meaningful. Every tour I create is tailored to you, your interests, your pace, and your curiosity. With the comfort of a private luxury Mercedes vehicle and the freedom to adapt along the way, you can simply relax and experience Budapest as it’s meant to be felt. If you’d like to discover Budapest, Hungary, with someone who truly cares, I’d love to welcome you. Let’s turn your visit into a lasting memory.

This tour is recommended for the budget minded traveler who loves walking and has limited time when spending only a few days in Budapest. Take this tour early in your stay so you can spend time exploring further on your own. During your tour, you see the main sights while I point out to you the easily overlooked but possibly more significant landmarks of our capital. I always add cultural and historical background to our day as I tell you about the personal experiences of my family and friends, so you do not just see the sights, but you get to understand the every day life of the Hungarian people. I guaranty you plenty of interesting information, humor, and a genuine love of this amazing city. This tour is available for large and private groups, and families as well, and can be customized according to your taste. Please request for price quotation.

We had a fantastic experience with Andrea from initial communication thru our amazing 3 days of touring Budapest and the Danube Bend. Andrea understood our touring priorities, was very accommodating, and arranged a tour of Budapest and the Danube Bend in which we saw all the sites. Even more than seeing the beautiful sites, Andrea explained everything we were seeing along with its history in an interesting and relevant manner, so that we truly understood what we were seeing. Andrea is such an intelligent, personable and kind individual. It was a true pleasure to tour with her. Thank you, Andrea, for sharing your love and knowledge of Budapest and Hungary with us. It was an amazing experience!
Andrea was an absolutely wonderful tour guide. We toured around the Castle Hill District and she planned a great tour for us. Her knowledge of the area was brilliant and we appreciated her sharing stories of the area. She also accommodated the challenges we had in walking and we were learned a lot from her about the district and the more recent history of Hungary. We would highly recommend her as a guide given her knowledge and her tailoring our tour to our interests.
Andrea is exceptionally knowledgeable about the city’s history and presented its many fascinating layers with clarity and insight. While we’ve never been disappointed with a guide from ToursByLocals, Andrea truly stands out for her level of engagement and connection with her clients. All four of us loved our time with her and came away feeling we gained a deep and meaningful understanding of Budapest. The other tour we took (one review) was Jewish Budapest. Both were just fantastic.
We wanted to learn from a guide and get oriented to Budapest prior to boarding a river cruise. Andrea was the perfect solution! First, she wanted to know what we already had planned so we would not duplicate activities or sites. Then she took us on a great walking tour of her city. Andrea was full of historic and current information. She was flexible and responsive. Andrea took us to main attractions and off the beaten path. We were left with a great sense of the city and the path to see more over the coming days. Our group of four all can strongly recommend Andrea to help you get to know Budapest.
Andrea was a great guide! Having lived in Budapest all her life she knew the past and present of seemingly every city block. We did much by foot but also used the subway and above ground tram. We felt like locals getting around. She also made reservations for us at a hard to book restaurant. We loved getting to know her and her amazing city.
Suggested itinerary: See Heroes' Square - City Park - Andrassy Avenue - State Opera House - St. Stephen's Basilica then walk across the River Danube on the historic Chain Bridge and walk along Fisherman's Bastion - Neo-Gothic Matthias Church in the Castle district. This tour can be customized if you have other preferences
