About operator:

Budapest means home, beauty and mystery to me. If you walk on the streets, the secrets reveal, but only if you watch and listen carefully. Discovering it all is a way of art that I would love to show to everybody in its whole sense. Let me accompany you and open up a city, a new world that you will never forget and will always just want to come back. My passion & love to my hometown comes from my childhood and especially from my parents who always raised my attention to the smallest details on buildings wherever we went – whether in Budapest or on our holiday travels. Later I went to a tourism-specialised bilingual secondary school where I later took my tour guiding exams as well and got my license by the end of the studies. At Eötvös Loránd University I studied art history and during my studies I soon realised that this is what this is what I want to do for the rest of my life: to show everybody how unbelievably beautiful and rich architectural details decorates this wonderful city!
