          Superb Tour Experience
          Arranged with Gabor Dora to take a half day walking tour followed the next day by a private day trip to the Archabbey of Pannonhalma. Tour guide was prompt, friendly, accommodating and extraordinarily knowledgeable. Our trip to Budapest was enhanced by what we learned and experienced on these tours and I highly recommend this agency to all visiting this beautiful city.

          Delightful day
          Way more than I expected! Gabriel was very knowledgeable and guided us through the day. And because of his license we were able to skip the lines. We would not have been able to see what we did without him and our time constraints.

          Gabor the great guide!
          We visited two wineries in Etyek with a wonderful guide. He was knowledgeable, a safe driver, and went far and above. He dropped our purchases at our hotel so we didn’t have to carry them with us. He gave us wonderful suggestions for other sights to see and stores to visit. Gabor even sent us his wife’s recipe for savory scones we tasted at the wineries. We enjoyed the wine tastings immensely especially the smaller one where the owner spoke about his wines as we tasted them. We highly recommend this tour. Leslie and Margaret

          Highly recommend to first timers
          Highly recommend to first timers to Budapest or those who don’t speak Hungarian - there were so many historical points of interest that we would have missed because lack of prominent signage. Gabriel was super informative and able to pack a lot of historical and practical information into a relatively short period of time. Great way to cover a lot of ground, since Budapest is quite large. Completely customizable. Super comfortable ride. Thanks Gabriel!

          Traveling with Gabriel could not have gone better! Not only was he extremely kind and polite, he was also so knowledgable. The tour itself was a beautiful way to see the Hungarian countryside, and having the addition of a welcoming and compassionate tour guide was a plus! I would recommend this tour to anyone who is staying in Budapest but wants to get out of the city for a bit!

          We absolutely loved the tour of the Danube River Bend. Gabriel was an amazing guide and truly made the trip special. He is full of information and allows you to explore at your own pace and do any activities you’d like. The sites and towns are out of a fairytale and definitely worth exploring while in Budapest. Gabriel made this trip so memorable is by far the best guide we’ve ever had. Would most definitely recommend!

          Gabor is the best!
          Gabor is absolutely amazing! He is the best guide I have ever had! He’s extremely knowledgeable and kind. After the tour, he went out of his way to help us get tickets to visit the Parliament and to do a night cruise on the Danube River. He went to the ticket office at the visitor center early in the morning, bought the tickets before they ran out , and brought them to our hotel! He did this without asking for any compensation or any monetary reward, which is incredible. He gave us an enormous amount of information about Budapest and Hungarian history and culture, jamming into every minute the most information he could. I have never met a guide that is so dedicated, respectful, caring, honest, knowledgeable, and friendly. Please call him if you ever go to Budapest! He is the best!

        We had an absolutely amazing tour with Gabor. He turned out to be the perfect guide for us. He drove us through the hustling and bustling city with a great coolness, so that we really could relax and enjoy. His knowledge about the city, its sights and the history of Hungary was profound and entertaining at the same time. He also send us very good recommendations about where to eat/dine after we had left him. Perfect guide!

        So we were introduced to Gabriel through this tour- I must say we were extremely happy with how things went. He was both courteous but also caring - and highly knowledgeable. Beyond just knowing everything about major spots and sharing them in a fun filled manner, he also helped us to figure out how to spend time in the city and was there to guide us over the course of time even when the tour was done.
        Would definitely recommend this tour and specially Gabriel, who was fantastic through the day and half we spent together. 💕☺️

        Gabrielle knew his stuff. Opened our eyes (husband and I) to the history of Hungary taking us on an adventure partially chosen by ourselves. We knew what we wanted to see, he made sure it all linked up historically. A well spent morning finishing with a must have chimney cake. Beauty, tragedy and indulgence. Thank you for a worthwhile trip.
        P.s. not all the time was spent in the car. A fair bit of walking too, but that is by choice to get up close.

        I was very glad to meet Gábor and have such a wonderful city tour. I suppose, he knows EACH detail about Budapest and he is always ready to answer whatever-you-want-to-ask questions. Gábor’s English is excellent! I loved that it was a dialogue tour, not just a boring guide’s monologue. He’s got a good sense of humor, that’s a very important thing!:) I highly recommend Gábor as a guide! No doubts, you will enjoy your tour time, as I did.

        Gabor picked us up at the entrance to the Parliament building and drove us over to Buda to see the Castle, the old town and an amazing vantage point where we watched sundown over the city. He left us 4 hours later at Gellert Thermal baths (after arranging a true Budapest bathing experience). Amazing knowledge of Hungary and how it has evolved - specifically during the 1900's onwards. He took us through all the milestones that shaped the city. the architecture, the way people think and live today. We really enjoyed it - knowledgeable, thoughtful trip tailored to our needs and Gabor knows where to track down the best sour cherry strudel as well. Very worthwhile and value for money too.
