“I recently joined the Budapest Pub Crawl and it was the highlight of my trip! Our guide, Lumi, was absolutely incredible. From the very beginning, he was so thoughtful he added everyone on WhatsApp and shared the night's itinerary and live locations so no one would get lost. What impressed me the most was his focus on our safety. He constantly checked to make sure everyone was keeping up with the group and genuinely cared about our well-being throughout the night. After the tour, he even sent us a massive, detailed list of local recommendations (from the best Goulash to hidden coffee shops). It felt like having a local friend…”

Join guides such as Obi, Philipp, Lana, or Sagar for a five-hour Budapest night out. Visit several ruin-style bars, collect five included shots, meet other drinkers, and finish at Instant-Fogas, the city’s biggest ruin club. Expect a social party more than a history lesson.

“This was suppose to be a ruins pub tour but was more of a regular bar “tour”. I say “tour” because the tour guide Literally just took us from one spot to the next and would just hang out with his friend. At the lost spot I didn’t even see him Again after our “shot”. The shots were a JOKE. I saw them make them and it was a splash of vodka with sprite. I’ve done quite a few tours all over and this was absolutely my least favorite.”

Jeanette is professional, witty, kind and knows so many details about her city (architecture, history, public transportation, popular events, food, culture). Her English is excellent. After our Walking Tour, which took us to a few unique pubs, Jeanette recommended a wonderful nearby restaurant with traditional Hungarian food which I'm sure we never would have considered without her help. I highly recommend Jeanette as a guide in Budapest.”
