Your guide, Peter Koltai

A Budapest story.
A lifetime of hospitality.

I grew up here. My mother was a guide. Sharing Hungary with visitors became my own path, too.

Born and raised in Budapest

More than a list
of sights.

For me, a good tour helps you understand a place: its past and present, its people, and the everyday details that make it what it is.

My life has been in hospitality. For the last eight to nine years, that has also meant working as a cruise director along Europe’s rivers. I can bring comparisons, ideas and a wider perspective to our conversations, while keeping the day focused on what interests you.

I guide in English and Hungarian. I’m a licensed guide, number 003305, and I personally lead tours by default. If I’m unavailable, I can help you find a suitable replacement and discuss the arrangement with you.

How I like to guide

Curiosity welcome.
No need to rush.

01 / Your interests

A real conversation

History, architecture, daily life or a question you’ve been saving for a local. Tell me what interests you and I’ll build around it.

02 / Your comfort

A sensible pace

We discuss how much you want to walk, where you would like to stop and whether optional transport would make the day easier.

03 / Your plans

A personal arrangement

From a couple’s first visit to a family day or a group organised by a travel agent, we agree the practical details together.

A few ideas. A day that’s yours.

Tell me when you’re coming, who you’re travelling with and what you enjoy. We’ll take it from there.
