I have been working as a local tour guide in Hungary since 2011. Budapest is my beautiful city where I was born and where I spent most of my life. Even though I have been travelling around the world since my early childhood, and I have lived in several countries, Hungary never ceased to be my home! I am proud of being a Hungarian and I passionatly like to show my country and tell about us Hungarians to my visitors. I really believe, that besides showing the main sights, it is also important to give a real local experience, showing the customs, the traditions, the gastronomy, the everyday life, the mentality and much more of Hungary. I speak both English and Swedish on a native level and I offer personal, tailor-made tours where I like to combine the historical facts with entertaining stories and legends. Due to my academic background, I encourage my visitors to feel free to raise questions about politics, religion, society, economy or anything else concerning life in Hungary. I also suggest visits to smaller, hidden treasures, off-the-beaten-track venues and show illustrations during the tours to make the experience really unforgettable! Let it be the capital, Budapest, or a small village in the beautiful Hungarian countryside, winetasting in a local family-run vinyard or a visit in the Jewish quarter, maybe real time-travelling back to the Communist era life. . . I am happy to guide you around! - Licensed Tour Guide, Számalk Oktatási és Informatikai Zrt., 2011. - International Studies BA, Eötvös Lóránd University, 2014. - International Relations MA, Corvinus University of Budapest, 2017. - Licensed tour guide in the Dohány Street Great Synagogue of Budapest, 2017.

Overview of your Budapest tour

This walking tour explains the history of the Hungarian Jewish community and the Holocaust in Hungary through visiting several important Jewish sights and Holocaust memorials in Budapest, including the biggest Synagogue of Europe, the Garden of Rememberance and the Shoes' memorial along the Danube. We will get acquainted with the Jewish traditions and customs and talk about how Jewish people live today in Budapest. You can even taste the traditional Hungarian Jewish cake, the flodni and see a local ruin bar in the area. And of course we will also mention who were the famous Jews originating from Hungary? Come with me to discover the secrets of the Jewish quarter in Budapest! (Please note, that arms and legs should be covered at all time while inside the Synagogue.)
