In Budapest Tours we are a group of professional and accredited guides, with degrees in Art History, Geography and History; and with extensive experience in the sector and a passion in common: Budapest. We work with professionalism, honesty and transparency to show the best that this imperial city offers from a critical point of view, beyond a simple photo. With us you not only have a guide but a host, a helping hand, someone who can show you this city with the love it deserves. We think in yellow and that implies that we are guides of the 21st century. That is why we like to establish a relationship of closeness and trust between travelers and guides. This is achieved by respecting the traveler, and for him we believe that having small groups is the most sincere way of transmitting knowledge and feelings so that your trip is filled with experiences and anecdotes to tell you when you return home. Our aim is that you live Budapest with the same love that we live it every day.

Tour description

Did you know that most of the Jews deported to Auschwitz were Hungarian?

Discover with us who the Arrow Cross Party was and the liberation of the city from the Red Army .

On this tour , you'll learn about the Holocaust in Hungary, but also about the righteous among the nations: those heroes who "stood against the tide of hostility and indifference toward the Jewish people."

This tour takes place in one of Budapest's most traditional neighborhoods, Erzsébetváros , also known as the Jewish Quarter. The main synagogues are concentrated in this neighborhood, and during your visit, you'll have the opportunity to learn to recognize the different branches of Judaism. Another characteristic of this neighborhood is its nightlife.

As we walk through its streets, we'll find countless restaurants and bars, so we can't forget to mention Khosr food and the main dishes of Jewish-Hungarian cuisine , although the ruined bars set the neighborhood's rhythm. We'll talk about its origins and say goodbye at one of its most famous bars.
