I was born in Budapest and moved back to the city for university. Initially, I wanted to become a psychologist. However, after missing out on the exam, I took a gap year and decided to study at guiding school. I’ve always enjoyed being with people and my passion for this profession slowly grew. I then enrolled at university to study tourism and hotel management for another 3 years. I’ve been a registered, independent tour guide for Hungary and particularly Budapest, for the last 13 years. My favorite topics? History, culture and architecture. But, I’m also very flexible and happy to adapt to requests and requirements. Every tour is an exciting challenge. I’m always determined to ensure visitors are satisfied and go home with positive memories. When I’m not guiding, I like playing tennis, running, going to the theatre, meeting friend and traveling.
