Just returned from a 2 week trip and first stop was Budapest. Great city and really enjoyed my time there. Booked a 1 hour session for myself and my father based on reviews I read here. We met with Lilla at a local cafe and she was great. Very personable and easy to talk to. Spent plenty of time with... More

We booked this after reading other trip advisor reviews. We had a 1 hour lesson on the day we arrived. The appointment was efficiently arranged via email. Our teacher Ezemese was fantastic, and is an English teacher in a Budapest school. After our lesson, we could read and pronounce the language (eg: place names), could ask for basic things including... More

I did two tours with Fungarian. I met Lilla for a 3 hour language and culture experience and then completed the Art Noveau tour with Miklo. Lilla was wonderful to talk with and we went on a walking tour of some of the major sites. It was a great way to get oriented with the city and the culture. I... More

My friend and I came to Budapest for a long weekend and decided to kick off the trip with a short language lesson followed by a trip to Esceri Market. I’m so glad we chose to do it. Milan was our teacher / guide and he is a truly lovely chap. Super clever, very patient and kind and really relaxed... More

I was visiting Budapest on my own for a few days and met with Lilla from Fungaria and it was fabulous! Lilla was very friendly and helpful. She gave me some great local tips for what to do and see while I'm in Budapest and I followed all her recommendations positively. Lilla informed me about the social history of Budapest... More

I had the pleasure of a 1 hour Fungarian course as part of an Travel Professional inspection visit to Budapest. The session was a lot of fun and really helped the group i was traveling with get to know each other better. We plan to promote the Fungarian Course as teambuilding activity in the future to our clients. Most importantly... More

This was a fun 2 hours- our guide explained quite a bit about Magyar language ( totally different than anything most of us have been exposed to) customs, history. Enabled us to appreciate our visit all the more, and to not commit a cultural faux pas!

I highly recommend the Communist Tour with Miklos if you are in the least bit interested in Hungary's recent past. Miklos's personal experience during this period of Hungarian history was the most interesting aspect for me personally, these discussions could not be replicated through film or in print. Although the weather was terrible(snow), Miklos adjusted as nessesary to make the... More

Dear Jason, Thank you for contributing to Tripadvisor. Oh, that snowstorm that day! It suited the topic actually. There were also good moments under Communism but one might feeel so perhaps only because we were younger and less experienced. Let's hope it won't come back. Thanks again for your company.

Spent 2 hours with Balasz, and very happy we did so. He really understood what would be interesting to us. We had a fun conversation and learned some fun phrases, but more interestingly a bunch about local culture, how easter is celebrated, what shaking the rug means, how to best complain that it's too cold, etc. Excellent intro to Hungary....

Dear Jonas, Thank you for the kind words. Your observation that one hour is too short but three too much is just excellent. Since we always felt under pressure to squeeze all the info we wanted to share into one hour, we started to offer our 2-hour session. In this way we can go into details of cultural delicacies. Our...
