We are tour guides who want to convey the emotions and nuances of this city. We've worked hard to make our tours enjoyable, with rhythm, humor, and even lots of smiles. What's a tour without happiness? Join us to understand the passion we put into our work. Our guides have diverse backgrounds: some have PhDs in sotira, others have degrees in languages or music, some are singers or teachers. Our guides are as diverse as the nuances of Budapest. On our tours, you'll discover the soul of this city and its Hungarians. History, culture, architecture, but also plenty of gastronomy, sports, and interesting facts to help you better understand the city, its buildings, and its culture. Our tour concept is unconventional. We won't linger in one place for too long, talking about numbers and facts. We want you to see as much as possible, and especially to discover the city's curiosities that you often miss on other tours.
