Overview

I offer fully customized walking tours. Beyond the main information about the essentials, I try to present the minds of Budapesters through anecdotes, news and aspects of the daily life of Budapesters. Cultural curiosities and Hungarian gastronomy are also among my favorite subjects. The half-day tour I propose ensures both the discovery of the main monuments and departure from the beaten track.
During this walk, we will have the opportunity to discover the Buda Castle district and the city center with among others the Matthias Church, the Fishermen’s Bastion, the Parliament (outdoor), the famous bronze shoes and the Basilica of St. John the Virgin.Outside Etienne. This framework not only allows us to discuss interesting topics such as the Hungarian currency, the national economy or the standard of living, but also to discover the works of Kolodko, Banksy’s Hungarian counterpart.
