Most travelers think they’ve seen Budapest after visiting its bridges and grand squares. But what if I told you the city’s true magic hides in its hidden streets, quiet courtyards, and stories only locals know?

Budapest is very lovely city. I enjoyed during my trip. One of best experience ever had. City is full of beautiful art and amazing people. Worth enough to pay for it. It last about two hours to explore few places but need more time to visit whole city.
It was very good experience, we enjoyed a lot. We visited main places of Budapest. Explore party area and downtown points. It was sunset and love to see sun set at danube.
Excellent tourist guide in Budapest: very attentive, well informed and with great explanations about the local history and culture. It made the tour pleasant, interesting and unforgettable. I highly recommend mostly to Brazilians who are looking for guides!
Jucimar was amazing. Our group was large, 16 people. He was wonderful, patient and has a lot of knowledge about history. Super recommend hiring you as a guide. In addition to giving us tips, we helped in shopping and took us to eat the typical food in a great restaurant. Note 1000.
We had an excellent experience with the Brazilian guide at the Buda Castle. He accompanied us through the Fishermen’s Bastion, the Church of Matias and the Castle of Buda, explaining everything with great clarity, knowledge and good mood. In addition to very well mastering the history of Hungary, he knows how to contextualize the facts in a light and interesting way, making the tour engaging from beginning to end. He was also very attentive with the group, answered all the questions and gave several helpful tips about Budapest. It was great to do the tour in Portuguese, which made all the difference to better take advantage of the details and curiosities of the places visited. I highly recommend to Brazilians who want to know the Castle of Buda in a complete, organized and pleasant way. Excellent guide!
Exceptional! Excellent guide and with an incredible story to tell
