“A tour guide who goes above all Expectations ”
We approached Gabor through Go with Guide about a tour to Tiszadob and he was very accommodating in making it happen. He took the research that we had obtained and through his dedication enhanced it by providing resources and research on his own. He made arrangements to meet with a church official who had the baptism records of our relatives. We visited the inside of the church where our relatives worshipped. We drove through Tiszadob to see the town as it is today not much changed from years long ago. We took a tour of the local Andrássy Castle which was very interesting experience. Gabor then had us meet with a local family who had roots that matched our own. We talked for a hour and then went with them to the local cemetery to visit graves of their and possibly our families. I cannot express enough how much Gabor went over and above to make this a wonderful experience for our family. I would recommend him highly to lead any tour to search for your family roots our take a tour of Budapest.

“Well above and beyond Gabor is our hero!”
Gabor put in so much time and effort to make our trip to Zics one of the most memorable treasures of our lives. We were surprised to met 12 relatives we never knew we had, exchanged family information and were treated to lunch and homemade pastries. Gabor was a wonderfully informed driver, interpreter, and now friend.

“Seeing the sites with an incredible Guide”
We first contacted Gabor about a tour outside Budapest but also inquired about a half day tour of Budapest itself. We also asked to be taken to a restaurant specializing in Hungarian food. Picked up on time we began an amazing tour of the sights of Budapest by comfortable Mercedes van.Gabor provided a running commentary of what we were seeing and the history of each location. We made many stops to walk and see up close the many sites on the Buda side. We then explored many locations in Pest including the Jewish Quarter. Gabor’s restaurant selection was spot on and delicious. He provided background of dishes, local customs and toasts in Hungarian. We also discussed our upcoming tour to the countryside to search our Hungarian roots. Could not have been more pleased with Gabor and his tour. I recommend highly.
