Tour description

Welcome to Budapest!

Finally, you are here! If you would like to discover the city like a local, join me on one of my tours!

I would be happy to guide you through this amazing city and show you everything that Budapest has to offer!

On the tour, we cover the most important sights and attractions such as:

  • Historical City Centre
  • Andrássy Avenue
  • St. Stephen’s Basilica
  • Liberty Square
  • Parliament
  • Margaret island
  • Shoes on the Danube
  • Chainbridge
  • Castle District
  • Hidden gems and memorials
  • and much more…


The tour is a great way to learn about Hungarian culture and to discover the city’s colourful history, from the founding of the State, through the Ottoman Occupation and the time of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, up until the 21st century.

I cover the most important sights through stories and fun facts, but also go off the beaten track to discover some hidden gems!

Being a musician, I will cover some parts of history with music related stories and I’m eager to show you the artistic side of the city and the best places and venues to listen to and play some live music!

I will talk about the do’s and dont’s in Budapest, while I will also recommend where and what to eat and drink.

Meeting point: in front of the St.Stephen's Basilica  Look out for the green umbrella!

Doing this free Walking Tour with István was not only incredibly interesting, but also super fun and entertaining! We strolled along the city and the riverbank of the Danube, learnt random and traditional facts about Budapest and Hungary, participated in group quizzes created by István and overall had the most wonderful experience of a breathtaking city ❤️ Keep sharing those lovely musical curiosities with the world, István! Thank you so much for the amazing tour, Joanna & Cris

Istvan was a fun guide, who told a lot of interesting stories and gave many tips for us newcomers in the city. We could ask him anything about the city and sightseeing places. I can really recommend to book a tour with him, especially at the start of your trip in Budapest.
