MEET THE GUIDES
Katalin Kovács-Boldizsár (Kate)
I was born in Budapest - my heart beats together with this city. My love for Hungary is one of the strongest feelings in me. My parents have given me a great advice: to explore the world starting from the inside, the core of it. Thus my investigation began here, and I have never stopped discovering more about my land and nation. As I grew up and took trips abroad, I realized the passion I have regarding traveling and meeting people I wouldn't come across any other way. I became a history buff and work as a tour guide since 2013. Luckily I got the chance to lead Hungarian tour groups to several countries in and beyond Europe, too. As the world opened up for me, I found myself highly enjoying working in a team. So here we are with my friends and fellow guides to make your stay in Hungary as fun, adventurous and memorable as possible! Join us!

I was born and educated in the US – the child of Hungarian refugees. My first trip of many to Budapest was when I was 3 years old. As a family we kept visiting throughout the years trying to help our relatives. I felt very much at home here. Finally making it my home over 20 years ago when the country was freed from the Iron Curtain. So I have seen and also experienced all the changes in this transition. Whenever friends or contacts came to visit, I found myself unofficially guiding and showing all that Budapest and Hungary had to offer. Eventually I became a certified local tour guide. My free time fun activity has become my profession - you just can't beat that! I can offer the best of both worlds: the knowledge and insight of a local, laced with a bit of an outsider's perspective, in native English (or Hungarian). Come experience the 1000-year-old history and vibrant present of Budapest and Hungary. Hope to see you soon!

A local guide - or local guy, as you wish - from Budapest. After finishing my archeological and historical studies I joined the tour guide community of the country in order to show visiting travellers one of Europe's hidden treasures: Budapest, the Pearl of the Danube. I am very proud of my job as I believe that a tour guide is foremost the cultural representative of his country. How is one a good representative? Be knowledgeable, humorous and easy-going to convince your guests you are not just a guide but a local friend to them. What I can offer you is a beautiful land with a breathtaking capital city, incredibly tasty food, a unique nation with unique language and an enthusiastic host who will introduce you to all of this. So don't hesitate and let me share with you these fascinating experiences!
