Essential Free walking tours of Budapest

Very competent and nice guide!

This tour by Robert, who is one of the few remaining independent tour guides in Budapest, not associated with a tour company, was excellent! I highly recommend it. He presented a good mix of history, storytelling, current events, and humor. He was attentive to the group and often checked in with us to assure that he was including our interests. Great orientation to Budapest, and to Hungarian history and culture. I learned a lot!

Robert was wonderful! He taught us a lot but most of all he kept it fun and interesting. I would take a tour with him again for sure!

Tour molto bello, guida molto brava ed empatica

Hicimos ayer el tour con Aduén y fue simplemente espectacular! El cómo guía fue maravilloso, explicó la historia de forma muy clara sin perder datos claves y sumando su gracia al relato a lo largo del recorrido. Muy recomendable el tour para situarse al llegar a la ciudad.

We absolutely loved, loved, loveeeed this tour! ❤️ It was informative, fun, educational, emotional, personal - it had everything! We could tell that our guide (Robert) is really passionate about what he does, and it was one of the best walking tours we ever had (and we travel often). Thank you Robert, this tour totally made our day! We'll see you again when we returun to your beautiful city, in which we fell in love thanks to you 🤗

¡Muy recomendable! Agradecer a Eli su trabajo y buena disposición con todos los participantes, crack!

Istvan was excellent, good knowledge delivered with a sprinkle of humour to make it fun. A great tour

Really great tour. Istvan was knowledgeable and passionate and a really balanced view of history. Great to learn a little about the city and see things I would have definitely missed

Viktória is an incredibly talented tour guide. Combining excellent knowledge, interesting facts and brilliant delivery. The tour takes in so many of the city’s most popular and beautiful buildings and is a fascinating journey through Hungarian history. She also advised where to go and how to avoid the tourist traps. Superb!!

Robert was a very engaging and knowledgable guide and clearly very proud of his city and culture. Learned a lot in a very relaxed style. Was my second visit to Budapest and the best!

You can see, hear & feel that Lara truly embodies her profession as a tour guide. Her knowledge, passion & love of her country is heart-warming. Thank you for a wonderful experience Lara! Peter & Monique Arnoldi - Western Australia 2026

He disfrutado de un paseo y una explicación técnica espectacular

Sono rimasta contenta del tour perché ho capito quello che stavo ammirando nel centro di Budapest grazie alla spiegazione di Susi. Un po di storia... curiosità... dritte per fare e per mangiare... Grazie Susi!! L'idea delle minisculture in bronzo...davvero forte!!! E tutte con un significato! La prossima volta farò la caccia al tesoro per trovarle!!! 😀😀

Terrific introduction to Budapest. Would highly recommend this tour on day one of visiting Budapest

Istvan is a fantastic guide. He’s a true professional who opens your mind, showing you the city in ways you’d never expect. Plus he is attentive, patient and fun to be around.

Really worth doing, learnt so much during the walk

This was one of the best walking tours I have been on, and I've done quite a few. Istvan was funny and very informative. He was very engaging and it was clear that he is passionate about the tours and enjoys them. A very enjoyable 2 and a half hours.

Great tour with a knowledgeable guide. He was very friendly and had some fun stories about Budapest. Nice to support an independent tour too!

Great to do at the beginning of your visit to Budapest to get amazing local tips for where to go! Robert is a fantastic storyteller, you will love this tour.

Todo perfecto muy agradable y comunicativo

If history class had been like this, I’d probably be a professor by now. Lilla somehow managed to pack an insane amount of Budapest history into a tour that felt more like hanging out with a hilariously knowledgeable friend than actually learning. Everything was explained in such a clear and engaging way that even my “I’ll forget this in 5 minutes” brain kept up. And the humor? TOP tier. The kind that makes you laugh and learn at the same time, which honestly feels illegal. I genuinely didn’t want the tour to end. TIPI TOPI experience. Highly, highly recommend a tour with Lilla!

Robert is an absolute font of knowledge. He is passionate and has so much to share. If you are interested in the history both historical and local of Budapest then this is the tour for you. There is a lot of information and Robert does speak very fast, so you need to pay attention. But it was great

We had a wonderful experience on the GuruWalk tour today! Robert was an exceptional guide, not only was he kind and highly professional, but he was also very informative. ​He has a great talent for sharing historical facts while keeping the group entertained and engaged throughout the entire walk. I highly recommend booking a tour with him if you want to learn a lot while having a great time!

David speaks very good English. He explained a lot of interesting things about the city, but also about the culture, history, language, gastronomy and even politics. He answered all the questions we asked him. I definetely would recommend this tour!
