Hello, I am Niki, a licensed Hungarian tour guide. Budapest, the heart-stealing capital of Hungary is my place of birth. I grew up and lived all my life here, except a school year in Coventry, U. K. where I improved my English. As a tour guide, I have 20 years of professional experience with travellers mainly from the U. S. A. , Canada, the U. K. , the Netherlands, Germany, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, India, Korea, and I hope YOU are going to be next! I have a strong passion for history, archeology and fine arts. I believe in lifelong learning to secure that the information I share with my travelers is always accurate and up-to-date. I always design my tours to be informative as well as inspiring and entertaining. My motto is: feel good and get more than expected! Come with me and travel like everyday residents of Budapest on the old underground or the legendary yellow trams. Let's discover the main tourist attractions and some hidden treasures of the city that only locals know. Listen to personal stories of life in a Central European capital which had long been hidden behind the iron curtain and is free now. If you stay longer, let's visit some of my favorite places outside Budapest. Lovely old palaces, charming little towns, picturesque landscape and a lot of interesting stories are waiting for you. All my tours are fully customized to your interests and flexible on the day(s) to take account of any special events taking place or the weather. With me, as your own private guide, you will have the time to fully experience everything, stopping to take the perfect photo or popping into one of the historical cafés, enjoy local delicacies or the shops we pass. Be my guest!

Are you interested in royals? Do you enjoy historical palaces? Would you like to hear more about the personal life of the old European aristocracy? If yes, then join me and let's visit the former summer royal palace of the Hungarian kings and queens in Gödöllő, near Budapest! Just a 45-minute drive from central Budapest and you can instantly dig yourself into the splendor of the 1700s and the 1800s. Let me recall the life of the historical Hungarian nobility and the legendary royal couple of King Francis Joseph I and his wife Queen Elizabeth (also known by her nickname as "Sisi"), who turned a smaller Baroque lodge into a true imperial summer residence. Hear gossips and unbelievable but true stories from the life of the elite who used this palace, including Hungary's pro-German governor Miklós Horthy who lived here between the two world wars. And find out what the Soviet Red Army did here after 1945. This will be a real time travel!
- Drive to the summer royal palace (45-60 minutes from Central Budapest) - Visit the palace (1 hour 30 minutes). The interior includes more than 30 exhibition rooms, bringing back the atmosphere of Royal Hungary in the 18th and 19th centuries with historical accuracy. Photos are permitted everywhere - Short walk in the palace park (spring to autumn only) (30 minutes) - Drive back to Budapest (45-60 minutes)
