Welcome and hello my dear future guests! My name is Dóra, a licensed tour guide in Budapest since 2016. I've dedicated my time to guide people from all around the world, which means thousands of satisfied guests:) I was born and raised in Budapest, which gave the basis of a perfect beginning of a beautiful friendship between the city and me. We have a quite old relationship we've changed together, we know each other, this way I could become a really eyewitness of the change of Budapest from the previous system to the present one. Coming to Budapest? Great! I LOVE Budapest and it's time to share it with you I believe that we can connect to each other through the culture. So let me share my love, my culture, my knowledge and my enthusiasm with you. I'll guide you through my city, uncovering its excited history and showing you its well-known, as well as hidden treasures. I believe in the story telling tours, but if you need dry facts as a fan of history I can provide it to you also. I think that the present and the future can not be understandable without knowing the past. I am sensitiv to people's needs and emotions, I can read the room, therefore I'm able to provide you an unique and personalised experience. Because sightseeing is an experience, a feeling, that can make your holiday. Whether you are looking for a real understanding of the history and culture of Budapest, or if you just looking for the special spots in the city, everything is possible. I'm full of stories and fun facts and the corners of the streets just greet me:) I'm going to show you how and where it all began. Feel free to get in touch and let's work out how to make the most of your time! It's my job and my passion to show you the wonders of Budapest so that you go home with precious memories and the feeling that you wanna come back! Just let me know and I will create a tailor-made tour for you, according to your interests and wishes. Now, I'm inviting you for a trip to BUDAPEST to admire all faces of my city through the different historical sights, buildings, streets. Therefore I'm here to give you the opportunity to see this city or the country with me. But just let my tours speak instead of me! See you soon!

Overview of your Budapest tour

Come and explore the so called Castle Quarter with me which is a very unique area in Budapest, on the Buda side. Let me show you around on the cobblestone streets between the baroque style buildings, let me show the hidden and non hidden gems of the Castle quarter and the spectacular views. We will take a round on the top of the Castle Hill, visit the Matthias church and see the most important buildings and sites of the residencial part and of course we will see the Royal Palace and its area as well. With the help of the buildings and sites we will learn about the more than 1000 years old history of Hungary. We will finish the tour at the Royal Palace or we could go back together to your hotel.

Dóra is the best! Our experience was great from the start, as she completely customized the tour to fit our needs and preferences. We were also able to do everything at a perfect pace, so we saw all the things we wanted without rushing. Besides being really sweet and funny, Dóra is very knowledgeable and communicates really well. She really loves Budapest and made my family and me love the city too. I highly recommend Dóra as a guide!

Highly recommend Dora. She was one of the best private guides we have ever had. Our time with her flew by and we saw and learned so much. She went above and beyond our prearranged tour of the Castle District and really helped us get aclimated including how to use public transportation easily. She was so knowledgeable and was very responsive to our interests. Thanks to Dora, we had the best first day in Budapest and we were able to have another great day exploring on our own thanks to what she shared with us.

Dora took us on a tour of Buda Castle and the area in the surrounding vicinity. Dora was amazing, there really isn't a shortage of positive words to express how informative she was about small details, just about every question was answered. We really had fun and truly enjoyed ourselves. In the the end I felt as though I'd known her forever!
