Hi, my name is István! I was born and raised in Hungary and I am happy to call Budapest my home for over 10 years now. I have a huge love for this city and I would like to show you why! In Budapest everything tells a story. Being a professional musician and a licensed tour guide combined with a great love for history, I will tell you this story from a totally unique perspective. I have been to over 40 countries so far myself, I love learning about and experiencing new cultures because I think that’s the best way to broaden our horizon. That’s why my tours are quite interactive and I highly encourage everyone to participate and ask as many questions as you have. (I might even reward some people from the group! 😉 ) Remember there is no such thing as a dumb question! So if you’re ready to go on a walk, meet fellow travellers, try some local snacks, take amazing pictures and experience the Pearl of the Danube with a true local, I will be happy to see you on my tours!

Our tour begins at the famous Great Market Hall, the city’s most iconic food market. Here we explore the stalls, learn about Hungarian ingredients, and discover the stories behind the country’s most beloved dishes.
