Private Sightseeing Tours in Budapest with a local you an trust

My name is Tamás Gráf, born and raised in Budapest, and proud to call this city my home. After 10 years working in five-star hotels and tourism, I created something on my own in 2017: Welcome to Budapest. Private sightseeing tours in Budapest with a local, designed around you and your interests. My tours take place in a spacious car with a panoramic roof that fills the cabin with natural light. Comfortable leather seats and a calm, quiet interior make every journey feel effortless. And it’s not just driving from A to B – I plan each route so you see as much as possible between the locations, with stories, viewpoints, and surprises along the way.

Guests consistently praise my smooth, safe driving style, my fluent English, and the way I bring Budapest’s history and culture to life. The proof is in the many excellent TripAdvisor reviews I’m honoured to have received.

I’ll take you beyond the postcard views to discover hidden courtyards, charming cafés, and stories you won’t find in any guidebook. Born and raised here, I share authentic insights into Hungary’s history, traditions, and today’s everyday life.

Your Tour, Your Style
