Eszter was amazing! She guided us through some very interesting history of Budapest and the origin of the ruin bars. We had wonderful conversation and some tasty beer as we experienced several bars. Highly recommend this tour!! Thank you, Eszter!
Eszter was a really great host and was fun to hang out with. We had a great time learning about the district and its history, as well as of course visiting some interesting and unique pubs. Would highly recommend.
Wow, what a personal tour. My wife was tired when we got there but the guide brought her to life. Ester was very interested in our lives and experiences. Hopefully she gets a chance to go to Liberland and can send me her review of the new sovereign country.
Great opportunity to learn the history and stories of the Ruins area. Unique neighborhood with unique bars. And drink beer

My buddy and I had a fantastic trip with Eszter! We had just arrived in Budapest and were looking forward to a bit of history and culture in between all of our Oktoberfest shenanigans in Munich the days prior. Eszter was super personable and funny, creating a great laid back social environment for all of us. She even let me have a beer after I butchered the pronunciation of a particular building that she had us all try to pronounce in Hungarian! The beer stops were great and perfect for learning a bit and for getting to know the rest of our group (who were awesome!) Her knowledge of the city and its history was phenomenal and we would both highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a laid back evening in Budapest! Thanks Eszter!

Met by lovely host who took us on a walking tour of the ruin bars. This also included 2 drinks at different bars. She was very knowledgable and had interesting information to share. Very friendly and was eager to answer any questions.

Excellent, must do. The balance between practical knowledge of Budapest, the history of this amazing city, and a detailed overview of the pub and ruin bar “districts” (as well as the bars we went to) was perfect. The drinks were great, and the tour and conversation was outstanding.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback back, much appreciated :) It was a pleasure to meet you!

What an amazing tour and a wonderful way to start our long weekend in Budapest. Eszter was welcoming, fun, knowledgable and a perfect host for the evening!! The history and few places we saw were fascinating and the three pubs we stopped at were full of character, great atmosphere and of course lovely beer!!! Was also really nice to get to meet the others on the tour from all round the world and Eszter did a great job getting everyone talking and feeling comfortable which made it such a good experience.
