On Our first day we explore the inner city with all its highlights and hidden gems. We are going to be mostly on foot here and also use some Public transport. Heroes Square, Buda Castle, Jewish quarter. Everything you need to see basically.
On the second day we are going to drive just outside of Budapest to the "hard to reach places" like the Communist Statue park, the Ancient Roman city ruins, Danube-bend and Visegrád Castle.

( DAY-1 ) Starts from your hotel
- On the First day I pick you up from your Hotel.
We will take the very old and Historic Underground #1. This is not simply a ride...this is a Blast to the Past, as you are going to cruise on one of the oldest Undergrounds ever! You'll see the jaw dropping stations and their authentic design, which lets you get a glimpse of the 17-18th century style.
We will arrive at this most famous Monument, which showcases the entire Hungarian History and Culture. I will give you all the stories and legends behind it...not the ones you find on wikipedia ;)
It's still morning...and how can we have a good morning without a good Coffee at one of the oldest Coffe houses just next to the Opera house and the House of Ballett (hence the name Artist coffee). Original Building from the 18th century so they had time to perfect their coffee brewery and cake making skills :)
During our walk in the Jewish quarter we are going to visit some of the iconic places like the ruin bar of Simple Garden (szimplakert) and also have the oppurtunity to grab a quick and authentic bite at the stylish Karavan food-market.
We are going to visit a very authentic place, which resembles an old railway station from the 18th century, but the twist is, that it is actually a giant market hall.
We are going to cruise with the most scenic tram #2 alongside the Danube and arrive at the shoes on the danube, where I can explain zou the tragic history behind it. After that you can marvel at the Parliament up close.
Lastly we are going to wander through the Castle district, where I can explain you the History of Hungary and have magnificent views of the city.
During our walk through the Buda Castle Distict we will visit all of these interesting sights and I can explain you the interesting folk-stories behind it.
If you still have some power left in you, we will submerge into the mysterious dark underworld of the labyrinths, which are just below our feets as we wander through the Castle District. Definately worth a visit :) .
At this Statue park, we are going to travel back in time to the Communist era of Hungary. You will see and experience how the people were thinking at this time-period.
We will travel to the Ancient Roman Ruins of Aquincum, which was the "first Budapest" as we would call it. You can get a glimpse into Roman history and how and why they decided to make this Settlement here, which we call nowadays Budapest.
This is a very artistic little town on the shores of Danube with magnificent food and authentic charming little alleys.
Our last stop will take us to the Historic Castle "in the clouds", where the Hungarians were fighting off the Ottoman forces in the medieval times. This is also the famous place called "Danube bend" as the danube takes a sharp turn towards west.

This tour is basically a combination of the "Full day Budapest tour" and the "Budapest Hidden Gems" tour.
The car used for this tour is a VW touran 2008 full leather seat edition with AC and seat heating. 4 people and their luggages comfortably fit.
Since This is my full job I'm available basically 24/7
The two biggest problems in my life are, that I was born too soon to become a space-cowboy and too late to become a roman legionary soldier. Since Tour guiding was the closest profession to both of these above mentioned things, I became one.
Although I finished the university as a communications expert and journalist in Hungary, it seems they did not prefer my honesty, so I didn't have too many prospects in that field. Without a clue of what to do next, I embarked on a journey to find some answers. I soon found my ambition in Tour-guiding and ended up working on a cruise ship, then as a freelancer tour-guide, and then as an adventure tour-guide in Norway.
I've been working in the tourism industry since 2012 and ever since, it''was my dream to create an authentic company of my own and to show the beautiful things of my home country.
My travels took me to more then 40+ countries. [And I still have both of my kidneys]
Sadly during my journeys, I have discovered that out of 100 companies 99 are simply tourist traps, who scam their customers with some fake "experience". But I also saw, that the authentic and quality tour operators are the longest lasting companies with 20+ years. I aspire to become like that 1 in 100 companies. I believe in win-win situations.
I'm a social guy. I like to be around people and to show them around. I like to have deep and honest conversations about things and I love to meet some truly amazing guests. There is nothing that you cannot talk about with me. I like this job so much, that I would even do this job for free, but since I cannot buy food with respect, love, or honesty, I do need something more tangible.
Anyways…why are you wasting your time reading about me? Go book a tour and we will have all the time in the world to get to know each other and this beautiful Country.
