I will meet you at your hotel or appartment in an agreed time. This private experience will intoduce you to the the hidden treasures and place in the Pest and the Buda side. I will show you the main sights in Pest, such as the City Park, the Heroes Square, the Andrássy Avenue. You will have the chance to see and get to know the Franz Liszt Music Academy, the Broadway of Pest, the State Opera House. You will feel like you lived your life in the city as a local after seeing the House of Parlament, the St Stephens Cathedral, the Liberty square, the shoes along the river bank of the Danube. After the introduction of Pest I will take you to the Buda side to see the outstanding view and the Castle District, with the Matthias Church, the Fischerman’s Bastion, the Fortuna Street, the Holy Trinity Square, and the Castle Labyrinth. You will have the chance anytime to take a break or have a lunch. I will also drive you up during the day to the Gellért hill, to see the Liberty statue, the outstanding panorama and get to know the history of the hill. This tour is tailor made to your needs and intrest.

Although I try to adapt my tours to the particular wishes of travelers, here is one of my general offers, the "real Budapest": - the Andrássy Avenue and the City Park with the Opera, Heroes' Square, Vajdahunyad Castle, the Széchenyi baths, the new Museum of Ethnography and the House of Music (very “Budapest” district) - the Jewish quarter and the pedestrian street with the Great Synagogue, the mural paintings, the ruin bars, the Gellért baths, Váci street and the Central Market (the “eclectic” district) I offer appointments for my tours at the address of travelers or in front of the Big Wheel on Deák tér square. We can finish at the same location or in the city center depending on your preferences. Interior visits of certain establishments (the Parliament, the National Opera, the Synagogue) are not included in this program because these institutions organize guided tours by local guides. I can of course integrate them if you wish. Another important point is to specify the means of travel envisaged. I consider that public transport is rather well organized in Budapest, we get around easily and quickly, and we stay in contact with the locals. But I also do tours by bike and electric scooter. I can also recommend nice restaurants, a night cruise on the Danube, shows and concerts, excursions around Budapest and lots of unusual programs…
