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! Licensed Hungarian tour guide Licensed tour guide in Dohány Street Synagogue Licensed tour guide in Rumbach street Synagogue Bachelor of Hungarian Literature I do not have a license to give tours inside the Hungarian Parliement or the Hungarian State Opera. I don't own driving license or car, but I can arrange for a car and driver.

TauSiong C.Singapore
Petra is truly a gold-class guide. She went above and beyond to make our visit—five Singaporeans exploring the city—both entertaining and deeply informative. Her warmth, knowledge, and attention to detail made every site come alive. We’d also like to commend Benjamin, the driver Petra selected. Ben ensured every ride was smooth, comfortable, and perfectly timed, adding to the overall ease and enjoyment of our experience. A heartfelt thank you to Petra and Ben for making our time in your beautiful city so memorable. We couldn’t have asked for better hosts
Your Budapest tour itinerary
- First I pick you up with a private car and driver at your hotel or wherever you want to. - Afterward, we drive to Heroes' Square to walk around the area, this part helps us to have a great historical foundation for the rest of the tour. - Next, we drive back to the city center to visit the Saint Steven Basilica, the biggest catholic church in Budapest. - From here we drive to the direction of the Hungarian Parliament. Here we can take marvelous pictures of this famous Hungarian sight and get more information about the Communist Era. - We continue our tour by driving across one of the famous bridges to the Buda side to see the Castle district, including the Matthias Church and Fisherman's Bastion. This is the most picturesque part of our program. - In the end we drop you off wherever you please. - If you are more than 6 people, I can arrange larger vehicle fitting to the number of people in the group, in this case, please contact me in advance.
