Julia is brilliant! She has exceptional taste and knows all the secrets. Her food tour was so much more than food. It was about the history and culture as expressed in the food. It was freezing outside, but Julia was warm and helpful and very engaging. We will be coming back to Budapest someday soon and will book her for a genealogical tour. We have already recommended her to our closest friends, who will be here in June.
My family and I (4 adults) did a full day tour with Julia before our river cruise. She readily modified the tour based on what we had already seen and planned to see to avoid duplication. With some family members loving history and some loving stories and cool places, Julia made it a wonderful experience for all of us. She also shared her family stories about living in the communist era and Christmas’ making it very personable. We hope to come back to Budapest during the summer months and have Julia show us even more of this beautiful city.
I was very fortunate to find Julia’s website via comments on Rick Steve’s website. We had an all day- food and wine of Budapest- excursion with her. Julia includes typical locations like Central Market, but also takes you to unique specialty shops along the way. This was our first day in Budapest, and my only regret is we were terribly jet lagged. Julia adapted the day to meet our needs and interests. In the afternoon we travelled by motor coach to a wonderful winery. The white and red wines from the region were superb. We could not have been happier

Winter in Budapest can be cold — sometimes very cold. But that doesn’t mean it’s a bad time to visit. Quite the opposite. Winter is when Budapest slows down, becomes more atmospheric, and reveals its cozy side. With the right balance of warm indoor experiences, short scenic walks, and smart planning, the city is a
Snow has a way of transforming Budapest, Budapest in winter feels noticeably different. The familiar streets grow quieter, footsteps slow down, and the city reveals a softer, more intimate side. Winter in Budapest isn’t about rushing between sights — it’s about atmosphere, details, and moments that invite you to pause. If you’re wondering whether Budapest
Budapest is world-famous for its grand architecture and historic cafés, but some of its most beautiful Art Nouveau treasures are much more intimate. Tucked away on a quiet street in the 7th district, the Róth Miksa Memorial House is one of those rare places that feels like a personal discovery rather than a tourist attraction.
As a Budapest private tour guide, I spend my days sharing streets, stories, cafés, and viewpoints with visitors from all over the world. And while I’ve guided tours for years, this past season felt especially reflective. Slower. More intentional. Every year, Budapest shows me something new — not because the city changes, but because the
The Budapest Christmas trams are one of the most magical signs that winter has arrived in Budapest.As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, thousands of tiny lights begin to move through the city, transforming everyday journeys into moments of quiet wonder. Every December, Budapest begins to glow in a very special way.
There are places in Budapest that I love to recommend to visitors — and then there are places I personally return to again and again. Rudas Baths is one of my weekly rituals, a sanctuary where history, wellbeing, and pure tranquillity blend into the perfect winter escape. What I love most about Rudas Baths is
