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. . .

Our entire family loved our private tour with Veronika, and we highly recommend her for anyone looking to better understand and explore this beautiful country. We went on an excursion to the Szentendre area, including several hours at the amazing Skanzen outdoor museum. She had done research to target our time at the museum to our family history, helping all of us appreciate how our ancestors lived here. And she was great with our three kids (ages 8, 6, 4) throughout the tour. Highly recommend
