About
Budapest is a big vibrant city with many sights to see and many offers to choose from. If you want to have a private tour tailored to your interests and time don't hesitate to contact me. As a travel addict I was a tourist in many cities, and I know that with a local guide you get to see the city from a totally different perspective. Let me show you the little secrets of my beautiful city!

Ildiko was the perfect tour guide. We spent four days in Budapest, two days in Eger, two days at Lake Balaton, and three days again in Budapest. She helped curate an incredible itinerary for our group of 14 people (7 couples) and our entire group thought she was delightful. She is friendly, thoughtful, knowledgeable, patient, funny, conscientious, and organized - she is a true gem and someone we will keep in touch with into the future. She recommended hotels where breakfast was included, met our group every morning in the lobby, shared her in depth knowledge of all things Hungary throughout the day whilst touring the sites, answered all of our questions and followed up with additional information at later times. She was flexible and adjusted the touring schedule to meet our group's needs (such as finding public restrooms and waiting through gelato stops). She arranged for prepaid / prescheduled tours and when our group showed up to the site, we were ushered to the front of the line. She had insider information regarding best ways to travel to locations, what time of day was best for visiting sites, how long to stay, and how to navigate the gotchas. She translated for us, gave us advice on how to spend our free time, guided us to the best places for shopping and souvenirs, and ensured we ate some of the best restaurants. She helped arrange for and confirm ed cultural events (e.g., organ concert), a private bus and bus driver, private wine-tasting, prix fixe meals at traditional Hungarian restaurants, a tour of the Parliament building (which must be reserved months in advance), and a sunset cruise of the Danube River. She was amazing and we highly recommend her to be your tour guide if you want to make the most of your visit to Hungary.

We were in Budapest in July 2022. Ildiko prepared a customized tour for our group of 5 with ages varying from 16 to 75. We went to the main tourist attractions, tasted local foods, and learned the history of the city. The tour never felt rushed. Ildiko is knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. She also helped us with making reservations at restaurants. If you ever visit Budapest, make sure to book a tour with Ildiko!

We had two wonderful tours with Ildiko seeing both the Buda and Pest sides of the city. She was warm and engaging and tailored the tours based on our interests. She had a wealth of knowledge of the history and culture of Budapest that helped us understand the uniqueness of the city. This was the highlight of our trip and if I could give her 10 stars I would. Don’t hesitate to book, you will not be disappointed!

I was in Budapest for a few days at the end of October. Ildiko was a terrific guide! Not only did she take me a new and fantastic restaurant for roast duck, cabbage and noodles (along with cottage cheese dumplings) but she got tickets for us for a great Debussy concert at the new music museum near the city park. We walked around the park in early evening before the concert (it was beautiful with the lights on the castle!) and also got coffee and a special version of the famed Hungarian 'chimney cake' at one of her favorite pastry places. She knows a lot about wines too so be prepared to learn (and taste) about the many delicious wines of Hungary! Just a great all around person, easy to talk to, very knowledgeable. She truly loves her city and wants to share all the great things in it with her clients. I cannot recommend her enough!

I actually met Ildiko in 2017, not 2023, when she gave my university group a series of tours. She is knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining— exactly what you want from a tour guide! I highly recommend her and think she should raise her prices! She is so great! Please consider enriching your trip with her fabulous service.

Had a wonderful four hours with Ildiko. Did all I asked. Used the metro and the buses as requested (so that I was more confident when solo), but walked to most attractions, again as requested. Saw many of the main sites and a few less on the tourist map. I do have to warn you that you might end up having to eat some cake; Ildiko’s passion. Also got some good recommendations on what to in the next few days, several
Gratefully taken up. Frankly, you can’t go wrong so if you are visiting Budapest I strongly suggest you contact Ildiko.

If you want a great tour guide she is your girl. We booked a tour with her on her second day arriving from Florida. Very knowledgeable and very well spoken English. Great at customizing our tour and showing us around Budapest. Also teaching us the metro and the transportation. I really appreciated the fact that if we had any questions during our visit she said to contact her at any time . Gave us great recommendations for other sites and restaurants to visit We were so impressed I booked a second tour while my husband worked. Definitely will book another tour on our return.

We are a family from Transylvania with 2 children,(2,5 and 7,5 years old).
We lived in Budapest from 2003 till 2009 (without children), and we know a little Hungarian history. But it is never enough to learn...
We visiting Budapest in every year, but this year we decided to visit with a guide.
So we chose Ildiko. And we did not regret it.
We found out some new and interesting things from Ildiko. Her knowledge about history, culture,places is excellent.
If you want to visit Budapest, we highly recommend her.

Thank you so much, it was such a pleasure to show you Budapest and some hidden gems. And I'm very happy that the children also enjoyed it!

I visited Buda Castle back in 2012, but my partner and I explored without a tour guide and failed to enrich the experience with the history of the Castle District. Visiting again in 2019, Ildikó added flesh to the bones and brought the area to life with vivid descriptions of historical events. Ildikó’s passion for Budapest was evident throughout and ensured the tour was thoroughly enjoyable (albeit, very windy!). If you’re visiting Budapest, I would certainly recommend taking advantage of a tour guide and would definitely recommend Ildikó!

Thank you so much for your kind review Ro-Anne. Hopefully you will come back to Budapest sooner than 7 years! :-) Wishing you all the best!
Kind regards,
Ildiko
