          Here you will see the memorial to the Soviet Red Army that commemorates the fallen Soviet Soldiers who fought in the Siege of Budapest at WWII, and also its controversial location due to the American Embassy that is located right next to it.

          Fantastic day with Suzy!
          We were fortunate enough to do an Art Nouveau walking tour with Suzy throughout Budapest. Suzy is knowledgeable and thoughtful. She has extensive knowledge about Budapest’s architecture and history and took us to many lesser known sites. She was also mindful of the heat and made sure that we were appropriately shaded and walking at a comfortable pace. I would highly recommend Suzy for a walking tour for anyone who is visiting Budapest. I booked through Viator and found it was very reasonably priced. Thank you again, Suzy!

          The highlight of our 5 night stay in Budapest
          Suzy took the two of us on an extremely informative walking tour looking in great detail at a number of Art Nouveau buildings. She had a knack of accessing areas not open to the public. This meant we saw so many more examples of Art Nouveau features like stained glass windows, wrought iron work & porcelain tiles than we would ever have found ourselves. Suzy had so much knowledge which she shared enthusiastically, pointing out details we would not have noticed independently. She gave us much more time than we expected and broke the walking tour with a stop for very good coffee & cake beautifully served in Hungarian porcelain at the amazing Art Nouveau Four Seasons Gresham Hotel. We would highly recommend booking one of Suzy’s tours - curiocitybudapest.com

          Simply the best. Look no further.
          It’s hard to write a totally positive review without sounding phony, but try as I might, I can’t find a single negative thing to say. Our guide, Suzy, was extremely knowledgeable, passionate about Budapest, charming, Interesting and interested, flexible and generous with her time and advice. She took us to the iconic sights and local hotspots, on trains, trams, and buses effortlessly, jumping the lines with her various badges, not just speaking fluently but thinking with our best interests in mind. We agreed that Suzy was the best guide we’ve ever had. Look no further.

          Suzy’s Budapest
          Suzy’s tour is great. I would highly recommend using her. Her English is excellent and she is extremely knowledgeable about Hungarian society, history and culture so she had an answer for every question. She is also very helpful at giving you suggestions of other things to see in the city. I strongly recommend her. Kurt

          An excellent guide…book with Suzy!
          My husband and I are seasoned travelers and Suzy is one of the best guides we have ever had! Suzy took us on a private walking tour of Budapest, she listened to what was important us and used our time efficiently so we were able to see a lot. Suzy is very knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and art of the city. She is an excellent and passionate communicator and very personable. Suzy is professional as she found a solution for a scheduling issue and was willing to address a distracting situation at an important site. If you come to Budapest, book a tour with Suzy!

          The best!
          We had a fantastic day with Suzy as our guide. She went out of her way to accommodate us at short notice and assisted us with dropping and collecting our laundry, which we would have struggled to do on our own. The tour was interesting and gave us good insight into the history and culture of Hungary and its people. I can highly recommend Suzy as a friendly and professional tour guide.

          An amazing and memorable experience
          I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Suzy! She is a wonderful guide and her knowledge of not only Hungarian art nouveau but the history of Hungary as well was extraordinary. I learned far more than I had expected as she included the cultural, socio-political historical context of all the art works that we examined. She took me to places I never would have seen on my own, not open to the public and not mentioned in the average guide book. I have been to Budapest many times in my life with my family, as my parents are Hungarian, but I had not been on any tours like this and I'm so happy I chose to. It was well worth the time and expense. I also look forward to seeing more places and reading publications that Suzy recommended to extend my knowledge and experience of art nouveau.

          Wonderful tour with a great tour guide!
          First of all, we had a wonderful time on the tour! Suzy is a very knowledgeable and insightful person who went above and beyond (figuratively and literally) to show us the beauty of Hungarian Art Nouveau. We had a bit of a problem with the booking over Viator, but it was quickly resolved by Suzy. I recommend booking the tour directly through her personal website. We would like to recommend the tour to anyone interested in Art Nouveau, you'll certainly have a greater appreciation of Budapest and its architecture while having a great time with a wonderful tour guide. :)

          A great way to explore Budapest
          Four of us traveling to Budapest for the first time, so we wanted to explore and learn about the city. We are so pleased that we booked this tour. It was perfect. Our guide, Suzy was personable and very knowledgeable so we had a fun 4 hours seeing a lot and not spending valuable time trying to figure out where to go and how to get there. It was a great experience for all of us.

          Super Suzy Szoke
          Suzy was extremely knowledgeable and very enthusiastic. I would highly recommend her to deliver a thorough introduction to the places in Budapest. She answered our questions very thoroughly and has a great sense of humour too.

          Budapest city tour
          Loved the way they share their frank experiences. It was bit rushed to move on quickly. Rather than that it's good.

        Guided by my excellent and knowledgable guide Suzy, I visited the Memento Park featuring statues of the Communist era which had been uprooted from Budapest. Suzy gave interesting details regarding the history behind some of the statues and the experiences of her family during that time. Altogether, it was a thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile excursion.

        This tour was fantastic!! Suzy was amazing. She met us at our hotel and we immediately connected. She asked if we wanted the walking tour or a tour that included a broader scope. We chose the second and so glad we did. Suzy called a nice gentleman that came and picked us up in an older Trabant car. She gave us an incredible history lesson, showed us all the sights and even fed us a traditional Hungarian lunch. This tour was definitely one of the largest highlights of our vacation!! Suzy was incredible and we would highly recommend her.

        I've traveled to many places and many countries. I can say that this tour was the best one that I've ever booked. Curiocity was very easy to work with and met me at my hotel. No need to worry about getting to a central meeting location. My guide, Suzy, was awesome. She had a great knowledge of Budapest and it's past. She was able to point out so many important historical spots, some that I'm sure most locals don't even know. As an added bonus, she had a great knowledge of Budapest outside of its communist history and she also discussed the culture, broader history, and architecture of the city. I highly recommend booking with a tour with them.

        This tour gave a lens through which to view the city as it was during the time of communism. It put the many statues and monuments throughout the city in context, as well as ordinary buildings and squares. The two tour guides were obviously very passionate about the history of Hungary and even showed us hidden treasures known by locals. We learned a lot!
