About this experience
Together we will explore two parts of Budapest located on different banks of the Danube: hilly Buda and flat Pest. You will enjoy the city's panorama from the best viewpoints, ride along the central Andrássy Avenue, and hear the stories of ancient buildings. I will help you immerse yourself in the past and present of the Hungarian capital, telling you about local traditions, culture, and mentality.
