I am a Budapest-loving local and I want to share with you my enthusiasm for Budapest. Its special atmosphere that is a combination of history, the colorful culture, the people, and their love of our land. I studied art and history and have worked as a professional guide for years. Spending time with my grandmother, listening to her stories, learning to cook the the traditional recipes was a great inspiration for me. I'd love to show you my beloved city.

  • The local multi-cultural neighborhood, with Szimpla Kert, the famous ruin bar.

Brigitta hat uns auf eine sehr spannende Tour mitgenommen. Sie glänzt durch ein fundiertes Wissen und hat die Teilnehmer auch an versteckte Orte geführt, die man sonst nicht sehen würde. Außerdem hat sie uns mit einem kleinen Lied überrascht und hat das Bedürfnis uns bei der Kälte in einer Bäckerei zu wärmen gut erkannt, was sie uns noch mit einem Gebäck versüßt hat. Vielen Dank es war lohnenswert und sehr spannend.
