About this experience

Guided tours in Spanish in Budapest, it is special because it is in Spanish, and it is PRIVATE, familiar, it is for clients who want comfort, and do not want to share with other tourists, but want to be among them.

It is by car and small walks. .Direct pick up with the car at your hotel or appart.

With my car or minivan we can enter the Old Quarter of Buda, while buses cannot enter, and you have to walk a lot on foot.

If you are a larger family, we do the tour in a minivan+driver+guide myself.

If you are only a few days in Budapest, with my excursions you can learn much more than if you walk alone in the city.

I am Hungarian and so you can get to know my city from a real person.

My tour is 4 hours, so we can visit without rushing
the most important monuments on the Pest side and the Buda side.

I wait for you to show my city : local Hungarian guide Judit Banka
