Welcome to Budapest, The star of the Danube! Budapest's history has a lot to say, its rich culture, local delicacies, and being the world's Spa capital. I am a licensed guide in Budapest, Hungary, and also a licensed driver with a Mercedes-Benz Van and we both serve the customers during our tours. Showing my city to visitors is my passion so you will meet someone during our tours who is enthusiastic about the tour himself and who will tell you such stories as well you do not hear when you are on big bus tours. During the tour, all of your questions will be answered so you will see not only landmarks but you will get practical information too. I offer hotel or cruise ship port pick-up and drop-off to make our trip as convenient as possible. Cruise ship customers are welcome I am a cruise fanatic myself as I have been working in the cruise industry in the USA in Fort Lauderdale for 5 years. My specialty is to serve all Danube River cruise guests who are welcome either before or after cruise adventures In Budapest and around Budapest so we can visit such locations too that you will not visit during the tour offered by your cruise line. As my tours always are private tours and transport in a van we have the flexibility to stay as long as you wish at certain places. We can reach many destinations which are a little bit far from the capital if you have special wishes while you are in Budapest just let me know. I offer many different types of tours that are popular in Budapest but if you have any special interests or places you want to see do not hesitate to let me know I am sure we can work it out and I will be able to give you a customized offer. Hope to see you soon in Budapest Balazs Licensed guide/driver with many years of experience in the business During the peak season, I am working and I can be contacted 24/7. This means from May till November I am available every day. I take some months off in January and February in the low season.
