AROUND BUDAPEST

Our Local Guides

Hi there,

my name is Petra and welcome on my page. I’m a local from Budapest, Hungary.

In my opinion, the main specialty of my city is, it’s on the edge of modern and classic. I love to walk around and on every corner 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.

I’m an experienced tour guide since 2015 and also a 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 of the world; Hungarian.

I’m energetic, enthusiastic, a history nerd and I love to talk. 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!

Our budapest local guides: Balázs

Greetings, traveler! My name is Balázs – and no, you are probably not pronouncing it correctly in your head.

After a couple of futile attempts, most people settle on calling me Goulash instead.

A pure-bred, born-and-raised Budapester, I have been working in the tourism sector for more than 15 years, but my love and admiration for the city have never faltered.

My mission is to entertain you with stories, fun facts, and – to the dismay of many – puns, all the while making sure you pick up plenty about the fascinating history of my beautiful city, my country, and my people: the Magyars, whose story spans several millennia.

If you are lucky, I might even bring along my trusty assistant and best friend: Maya the dog.

Our budapest local guides: Geri

Well hello my future groups and friends! Nice to meet you, my name is Geri!

Hi, my name is Andris.

I can’t wait to show you around in my hometown!

Our budapest local guides: Andris

Altough I spent all my years in Budapest, I always loved to travel, that’s why I know exactly, how much more fun it can be if you have a local friend, who shows the best parts and hidden gems of your destination. That is my main motivation as a tour guide, I want to be that guy, who helps you to fall in love with my favourite city, Budapest.

Since I was 14 I knew that I want to be a tour guide, just I couldn’t decide in which language, so now I speak German, Dutch, Hungarian, and of course my strongest suit, English. My main interests are food, history (especially the 19th and 20th century) and any form of contemporary art. In the last two years I held pub tours, so I’m quite familiar with the city’s nightlife as well.

My goal is to personalize every of my tour as much as possible to fit your interests and needs. I want to show you Budapest as I see. It’s the home of pile of different kind of fun. It doesn’t matter if you’re a history nerd, foodie, art enthusiast, nature lover or maybe a party animal, I will show you the ways, how you can make the best out of this city.

Our budapest local guides: Eszter

Hello everybody!

I am Eszter, local patriot, explorer of hidden gems, and Budapest addicted.

I was bred and born in the capital city and have been a tour guide since 2024.

My enthusiasm for the history and culture of Budapest may sometimes seem a bit excessive, but if you want to make the most of your visit and immerse yourself in the city’s (less and more) hidden secrets, then buckle up.

There’s no need to quietly observe the tour from start to finish — be prepared for me to engage you with interactivity, so you can become even more a part of the experience. Let’s be explorers together!

Our budapest local guides: Pieter

Cheers to my future travelers, my name is Pieter.

With a British eye and a Hungarian heart, I offer a perspective on the “Island of the Magyars” that few can replicate.

Having called Hungary home for 36 years, I’ve moved beyond mere fluency in the language to a deep, instinctive understanding of the nation’s complex soul and storied history.

I specialize in “translating” the Hungarian experience for the curious traveler—bridging the gap between the enigmatic local psyche and the outside world with the clarity, wit, and nuance of a seasoned British expat.

Whether we are navigating the shadows of the 20th century or the architectural splendors of the Danube, I provide a guided narrative that is as deeply informed as it is uniquely accessible.

Our budapest local guides: Rita

Hello to my already amazing future guests! My name is Rita.

I’m a licensed tour guide based in Budapest, where I was born and raised.

After nine years of guiding, I still get excited to introduce visitors to the city I’ve called home my whole life.

Growing up here means I don’t just know the dates and landmarks, but also the little stories, hidden corners, and everyday details that make Budapest feel alive.

I’d like to show you not only the must-see highlights, but also the personality, humor, and spirit that make Budapest truly unforgettable.
