Dear Visitor! Thank you for showing interest in my profile, I might be your future guide, driver and host. Let me introduce myself, I'm András (38) born and raised in the lovely city of Pécs, in southern Hungary. I've lived in the US, the Netherlands and Germany, hence I mix well and communicate effortlessly. I feel a deep affection towards my hometown, therefore I think guiding is just the right line of work for me. I am a fully licensed, wholehearted guide, who is always in high spirits and does his job with great passion. My own approach is halfway between a local historian and a comedian. I like to be aware of the fine points and always try to paint a lifelike picture of the past to be able to draw the lesson and concentrate on what the twists and turns of history teaches us about life today. I believe that Pécs is the perfect place to learn about ups and downs, prosperity, devastation, survival and resilience. This gorgeous town - the 2010 Cultural Capital of Europe, that is part of the UNESCO World Heritage - has a long and exciting history that has left it's marks all over the face of the city. Pécs has a rather unique atmosphere, climate, a certain kind of energy that has made the area not just habitable, but livable for almost 2000 years. I can show you the highlights of Pécs and introduce you to local history and arts along a walking tour in the city center. If you would be more interested in the life of this place, we can spend a whole day in Pécs diving into local craftsmanship and rejoice in the panoramic view of the city from amazing lookout points. I also offer daytrips that include not only the sightseeing program in Pécs, but discovering the surrounding area and the many centuries old wine culture, by visiting an authentic, private winery where you can taste the excellent wines that are popular and in demand in Western Europe too. You can find all the details in my tour offers, but if there are any special requests, any certain topic that you are interested, I can accommodate the tour to your needs and expectations. You can message me even if your preferred date is set to unavailable, maybe we can figure out a solution and make time somehow. I can't wait to guide you in Pécs, my wonderful hometown and provide you with an inspiring, illuminating and hilarious tour to make the best possible experience! Don't hesitate to contact me! Your wholehearted guide: András -Certified tour guide -Master degree in law -Driver's licence since 2001

This city is my home, my passion, and my happy place. I know a lot of people from around the world who came, fell in love with Pécs and stayed for good, so watch out, this place is quite catching! Explore the most important historic sites of the 2010 Cultural Capital of Europe in a 3 hour long private walking tour. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage, learn about the stirring history of Pannonia, how a handful of early christian burial buildings defined the whole future of a city. I will explain how it turned out to be the home of the first Hungarian University in the medieval ages, then transformed by the Ottoman Empire, liberated by the Habsburgs, and how it became a prosperous town until WW 1. Visit the utmost collection of an exceptional Hungarian painter. After you lingered in the past complete your art journey visit a gallery with monthly changing exhibitions of up-and-coming artist in a beautiful secessionist one-time hotel building. An inspirational walking tour when time is of the essence. A sample!
We had a wonderful tour with András, who is a very attentive knowledgeable guide. As we have been in Pecs only for 2 hours he customised the tour very well, so that we made the most of our short stay and we will definitely come back to learn more.
He is smart, pleasant, knowledgeable and loves his city. Made good flexible suggestions and was very receptive to our deeper conversations about life politics snd religion. He is a must to use if you are in the area.
ToursbyLocals is known for having excellent guides. András is he best of the best. He was knowledgable, personable, attentive to my interests. The tour sequence was well-planned and paced. Beyond factual information, he shared a broader sense of history and the spirit of a city and a people. I told him at the beginning to make the tour good because it's unlikely I will ever come back. His enthusiasm for his city was contagious. I hope to return.
Andras was a great guide, very pleasant to be with and informative about the area. He designed a lovely tour that included the main sights of Pecs as well as some more unusual ones. We really enjoyed our time with him and highly recommend him!
András prepared an amazing tour for me in Pécs! I asked him for a custom tour focused on the architecture and history of Pécs and he went above and beyond my expectations. He showed me interesting sites and gave me loads of background information on both the history of Pécs and how it came to look as it does today. All the while he managed to keep it fun and interesting. It is obvious he is passionate about Pécs and that is catching. If you are planning on a visit you really shouldn't miss András' tour.
