Dear independence loving visitor!



My name is Gabriella Török, an official, licensed local tour guide in Hungary and Budapest offering you quality, informative private tours for individuals and groups. 
I was born in the Hungarian countryside and have been living in Budapest for over 25 years.
I will show you MY city, what I love about it, what I think is unique and special!
My tours illuminate the history of Budapest and her people - I hope very much - in an unconventional and amusing way!
My personal experience is that our visitors are very surprised and amazed by our rich history, cultural heritage, wines and food. I would like to share with you our pleasure how the country is getting to be reborn after the very troublesome 20th century.
If you are interested in a general overview, something special (e.g. history, art nouveau or Jewish history), museums or simply want to find the best place to taste goulash, I can tailor a program to fit your distinct tastes.
My goal is to insure you have a wonderful time and recall with fondness this hospitable country after your return home.
