I am an experienced licensed guide in Budapest and Hungary offering quality personal Walking and Driving Tours (Toyota Corolla, air-conditioned).
My tours are self-tailored, following the interests of my guests. In Budapest I recommend after the General city tours special interest tours and in Hungary a lot of destinations. You will see that Hungary is truly cultured, truly European and I also believe that it preserved its cultural and folk heritage better than many other countries, where developement has swept the past away.
- Budapest 4-Hour Walking Tour: If you love walking, beside the most important sights we can see very nice local quiet places, we can stop to look into gorgeous Courtyards and have a rest in parks with the locals. Do not worry, we will cheat: you will need a few tram tickets. We will walk around in the Pedestrian Zone then using the oldest subway on the continent (everybody has to see it) and streetcars running on the bank of the river you will see nearly everything mentioned in the driving tour. Price per tour: Euro 85 (For groups above 4 persons Euro 105).
- Budapest 4-Hour Driving Tour: You will see the highlights of the city: first we will drive up to the top of the Gellért Hill to see the most beautiful panorama, and then we drive around Pest to see the boulvards and avenues, famous spas, the Central Market Hall, the Andrássy Avenue, the Opera House and the House of Terror. We will walk around the Heroes' Square and in the City Park. You will see the Great Synagogue, the Jewish district and the St. Stephen Basilica; usually we visit one of them. The next stop is at the Parliament and then we continue across the Margaret Bridge to Buda up the Castle District to see the Royal Palace, the Matthias Church and Fishermen's Bastion. From here you can take a picture of the riverscape with the Chainbridge. Price per tour: Euro 130.
- Budapest 8-Hour Walking or Driving Tours: Beside the highlights you will see less touristic Hidden Treasures too and visit some of these beautiful sights inside (the Parliament, the National Gallery in the Royal Palace, the Dohány street Synagogue, the Central Market, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Applied Arts, and the Széchenyi Bath etc.). Price: Walking tour Euro 150, Driving tour 180.
