Overview

You have just 1 day to see everything? Or you have no idea what else Budapest can offer?This is your best chance.I will show you top attractions and hidden gems, gastronomy and local's life. Let me introduce you to our enchanting history of over 1000 years, let me show you the most breathtaking places and make you have fun. We start our time traveling experience on the first historical underground metro line in the Continental Europe, and go to the Heroes Square. We are still on the Pest side, when we get hungry, so we will go to a local restaurant, where I will help you choose between, "Gulyás Leves", "Marhapörkölt" and other delicious items on the menu, and than we continue on our journey. We will use public transportation only to cover longer distances. By the afternoon we will be on the Buda side, searching for the "Buda Castle", and finish the tour at the Matthias Church. By the end of the tour i will give you some ideas what else you can do here if you have more days than one.

Close to the Deák tér, at the intersection of Metro 1,2 and 3 , there is a ferries wheel. We meet in between the ferries wheel and the Danubius Fountain.

Beautiful Budapest with Lara

Published on Jul, 2023

Lara was a super knowledgeable guide with a great ability to explain the complicated history of Budapest. She is passionate about her city and eager to share what she knows with kindness and a sense of humor.

Best Budapest walking guide

Published on May, 2023

Lara was a great guide and shared the details with clear voice and gave lot of hints on what to do and not do in Budapest. 5 star for her trip and can recommend for anyone.

Spending the day with Lara was the highlight of our Budapest visit!

Published on Oct, 2022

We were on a river cruise and opted ahead of time to arrange a full day tour with the Lara rather than do the two hour excursion offered by the cruise. So glad we did! She was charming, open, very flexible in planning the day. Toured all the major sites. Showed us how to easily use the tram and metro system in town. Especially enjoyed her joining us for lunch and sharing stories of her experiences in Hungary and explaining all the food options at the authentic Hungarian restaurant we went to.

Better than expected

Published on Sep, 2022

Lara was so lovely we had a fantastic time and saw some amazing places, she opened my eyes to the history of Hungary. We love Budapest!

Castle tour

Published on Apr, 2018

Lara was a great tour guide and she was very clear and distinct in explaining the history of castle and people related to it. Overall I enjoyed a walk in castle district of Budapest very much with her company.
