I’ve done quite a few walking tours across various cities, and I can confidently say that Istvan is one of the best guides I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting—if not the best. His passion for Hungary shines through in every aspect of the tour, making the experience not only informative but deeply engaging. From the moment we began, it was clear that this wasn’t just another standard city tour—Istvan brings an enthusiasm that is contagious. The tour is packed with fascinating insights, but what makes it stand out is how breezy and light the whole experience feels. Istvan has a wonderful ability to weave together various topics effortlessly, straddling history, sport, music, culture, cuisine, politics, and even fun bits of trivia. He covers the heavy subjects with just the right amount of depth, but also keeps the mood enjoyable and interactive, so you never feel overwhelmed. His knowledge of Budapest is encyclopedic, yet he presents everything in a way that feels accessible and entertaining. Whether it’s diving deep into Hungary’s complex history or sharing local stories that you wouldn’t find in a guidebook, Istvan brings it all to life with his storytelling, recommendations and personal insights. And it’s not just history—his knowledge of music, sport, art, culture, sport, cuisine adds wonderful layers to the experience, making it a well-rounded tour that appeals to all interests. If you’re looking for a tour that’s not only informative but also fun, with a guide who clearly loves what he does, I highly recommend Istvan’s walking tour. It’s one of those experiences that leave you with a deeper appreciation for Budapest and Hungary as a whole, and it’s an absolute must for anyone visiting the city.
