Hi, I'm Sándor, a local writer deeply in love with Budapest. I have published five books, including one on the famous Hungarian ‘pálinka’. Now I'm looking to share my knowledge with you in a more personalized way. I always know where the best jazz is played - and in Budapest, it's never in the big concert halls. I can show you the coziest hidden wine bars, and tell you everything about the best local artisan wines. If you're more into the craft beer revolution, you are also in the right place in Hungary's capital. My main interests are in science history, sports, music, movies, literature, and languages. I hold a degree in cross-cultural communications. My approach is connecting the dots from past to present, showing you the people and events changing the world and our contemporary life. When it comes to the best stories, you should always trust the guy with grey hair. When it comes to the best food and drinks, you should always trust the guy with the big tummy. This latter didn't fit on the picture :-)

My reviews

He really cared what we wanted to say. He was very knowledgeable on the history of Budapest and my husband really enjoyed that. If you’re in Budapest, I would highly recommend you do it tour with Sandro.

Sandor was a great walking tour guide. He was accommodating with my itinerary and provided helpful tips and routes for the day.

We literally only had 5 hours so rather than wonder round on our own not really know where we were going or looking at we decided to do the tour. So glad we did. We got to see what we needed, understood what it was, got to ask questions and chat about other things and best of all it was just us, no large groups of others. Would definitely recommend. Our guide Sándor was very knowledgeable.
