A great guide for an interesting area - Today my wife and I as well as another couple traveling with us had the pleasure of touring Buda, Castle Hill, and the area around Parliament Hall with Zsuzsanna. Trained as a teacher, her passion is that of a tour guide and she combines the two to provide interesting lessons on the history and society of the local area. It was very interesting to hear her perspective on a wide range of topics related to life in Budapest over the last 80 years, especially as she compared what the generations of her family had gone through living in this very area. I would strongly recommend her skills as a guide for anyone wanting to understand the nuances of life and the history of this area.

Fantastic day on the Buda side. - I signed up for this one-on-one guided tour of the Buda district to get a better understanding of the history of this region. "Budapest Wonderguides" were very professional right from the start -- answering my questions through email in a very timely manner, customizing my tour, etc. I toured with Zsuzsa and she was very nice and professional and provided excellent insights to the historical elements of this region. We walked all the way from Gellert Hill to Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church, covering most of the district. I would definitely use this company to hire a guide for parts of the city you would like to gain a better understanding of. Overall an excellent experience.
