I was born and raised in Pest, the best side of the city! Inspired by my father’s improvised history lessons, I decided that I wanted to work in tourism at the early age of 13. As a guide, I have an important teaching role and always feel rewarded when clients discover new places and facts. It goes without saying that I also learn a lot along the way. My colleagues and I enjoy sharing the city’s highlights and engaging visitors’ attention through quizzes and stories. The aim? To make our guiding company, country and city proud! The best part of guiding is meeting people from all around the world, sharing Hungarian history and learning new things every day. Bálint, György (George), László, Brigi (Bridget), Zsolt, the rest of the team and I can’t wait to show you around the city!
