Hello travelers! We are a group of guides happy to live and work in Budapest! With degrees in History of Art and Tourism. And after years of experience in the city, we have come up with the recipe for the perfect free tour: INGREDIENTS: -300 grams of history (just enough so that you don't get saturated) -150 grams of legends -several tablespoons of curiosities, gossip and news - "salt shaker" to the taste of the guide -A handful of tricks so that you learn to move around the city - A guide wanting to enjoy yourself - A motivated public PREPARATION: We start by adding the 300 grams of history, because every tour has to start with a good historical context. But immediately we add 150 grams of legends to the mixture in small doses and stir well until a well-homogeneous and balanced dough is left. Let it rest and add salt to taste until you start to hear a few laughs. That is the signal that tells you that the mix is on the right track. It is then the right time to add several spoonfuls of curiosities, gossip and current affairs, always at the request of the diner. All this is put in the oven for 2 and a half hours at maximum power. And to avoid that the dough does not drop, go adding tricks and recommendations. If the steps have been followed well, we assure you a good free tour. And if the recipe is also made in Budapest, success is guaranteed!

Tour description
Have you just arrived in Budapest and don't know where to start?
This free tour is the perfect way to get your bearings, understand the city, and start falling in love with Hungary 🇭🇺✨
We will meet at Erzsébet Square, next to the Danubius fountain. From here, a walk designed to discover the heart of the city... and much more will begin.
We will start from Vörösmarty tér, one of the liveliest squares in Budapest, and then continue along the Duna Korzó, the beautiful riverside on the Danube, where we will admire the famous Princess statue, the river, and the iconic Chain Bridge 📸.
We will continue towards the majestic St. Stephen's Basilica, one of the most important symbols of the city, and make a stop in front of one of Budapest's most curious statues: the famous chubby policeman, who according to tradition... brings good luck if you touch his belly! 😉
Further on, we will arrive at Liberty Square, a key place to understand Hungary's recent history, the 20th century, and the country today. Here we will talk about the past, present, politics, customs, and daily life in Budapest.
And as a grand finale, we will end in front of the Budapest Parliament, one of the most spectacular buildings in Europe✨
During the tour, we combine history, anecdotes, curiosities, and humor, along with many practical tips and gastronomic suggestions, to help you enjoy Budapest like a true local.
