“A Wonderful Time Discovering my Hungarian Ancestors!”
My goal in visiting Hungary was to conduct ancestry research, and I was fortunate to have chosen Gabor as my guide. I was able to correspond with him easily through the GoWithGuide website, and he responded to my messages almost immediately. Ancestry research is time-consuming, and Gabor undertook considerable preparation before I arrived in Hungary, exceeding my expectations. He took the initiative to contact various archive offices in advance, arranging meetings and access to archival documents on my behalf. It quickly became clear that Gabor is far more than a guide; he is also an excellent project manager! During my time in Hungary, he organised a well-planned yet flexible itinerary that included archive offices, museums, and registry offices. When meeting with archivists in the towns of Komárom and Tatabánya, where my ancestors had lived, I relied on Gabor to explain my situation in Hungarian and translate their replies. Gabor is professional, hardworking, and absolutely dedicated to helping his clients achieve their goals. He consistently went above and beyond to help me locate records relating to my ancestors. Thanks to his efforts, I now have a much more complete picture of my family tree than I ever expected to achieve. Gabor was genuinely interested in obtaining the best possible outcome for me and creating a truly memorable experience—one that I will never forget. His in-depth knowledge of Hungarian history gave me a deeper appreciation of Hungary and its people. I highly recommend Gabor to anyone considering ancestry or family-history research in Hungary. His expertise, dedication, and professionalism made my trip both productive and rewarding.

We highly recommend you to anyone who wants a relaxing day with great conversation and knowledge without a lot of history and dates overload you get in a group coach bus tour...! You are a delightful person and thank you for the great experience in Hungary.

Dear Joey & Sheryl, Thank you so much for your wonderful message! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you both. I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the wineries, our visit to the Sonkamester, and the relaxed atmosphere of the day. Meeting guests like you is one of the best parts of my job, and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations and the time we spent together. Thank you as well for your kind recommendation. It means a lot to our small family business. I did enjoy the wine with my wife after returning home, and I am already curious to hear how your Pogácsa turns out! Please keep me updated. Wishing you safe travels and many more great adventures ahead. Regards Gabor

“Tour if Eger and winery”
Gabor was an exceptional tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and fun. He went above and beyond to make the experience memorable, even helping us track down information about a family member born in Hungary. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
Gabor D.
Dear Allie! What a great day! You were a fantastic audience. I really enjoyed the day with your family! I was very pleased to help you to find David relatives. Show you a bit from the city.
