Overview

We offer deeply personal exploration of history through touching stories, alongside insights into Budapest's vibrant contemporary culture, including its renowned nightlife and urban art scene. In addition to delving into the rich historical significance of the Jewish District, our tours stand out for their emphasis on uncovering hidden symbols and lesser-known narratives, providing a comprehensive understanding beyond typical tourist experiences. The small booking fee you have paid to Viator is an administrative fee to guarantee your spot on the tour. You are encouraged to tip your guide what you feel the tour was worth at the end. Most guests tip €10 per person, some even more. Our guides work very hard for tips, and you are guaranteed to have a great tour! Important note: Groups of 8 or more people are required to contact us at least 24 hours in advance and they have to pay a minimum 8 €/ person minimum fee for the tour, whether they booked as a group or separately.
