Take a walk through history

In a city whose history dates back to the Stone Age, the ancient and modern are equally tangible. Walking tours of Budapest give you an interactive history lesson of this living museum, and you’ll get an intimate understanding of how each century has shaped the Hungarian capital. You’ll see Roman and Renaissance architecture, century-old mansions, and cobbled medieval streets that give way to old WWII buildings riddled with bullet holes sandwiched between ruin bars – crumbling courtyards housing speaker-shaking nightclubs. On walking tours in Budapest, you’ll travel through time.

Latest reviews from our guests

    In very broad strokes, I had a general understanding of Hungary's history. But, since this was our first visit to Budapest, I wanted a crash course on Hungarian history, culture and politics. Our tour guide Lőrinc was the perfect man for the task. He had checked in with us prior to the tour and knew of our interests. So, he crafted a special tour for us that focused on the ancient, Medieval and modern history of Hungary. Absolutely fascinating! I don't remember the names of the founding tribes or the early kings of Hungary (other than the first Christian King, Saint Stephen), but I can't wait to get home and learn more about Hungary and its people. Thank you Lőrinc for an incredible tour!

    I had the pleasure of having Angie as our tour guide in Budapest, and she was absolutely fantastic! Not only did she share fascinating insights into the city’s rich history, but she also took us to some hidden gems that we would have never discovered on our own. Her passion for Budapest was contagious, and her knowledge truly made the experience special. I highly recommend Angie for anyone looking to explore Budapest – you won’t be disappointed!
