Explore Budapest’s Christmas markets, St. Stephen’s Basilica, chimney cake, mulled wine, and a dazzling evening light show.

“I can't say enough great things about Katlin Boldizsar, owner and operator of Wonderguides. I almost did not show uo because I was tired of the Christmas markets after arriving from Vienna the day before. This tour was SO much more than a Christmas market tour. Katlain gave me an extensive history inside the St. Stephans Basilica. This is beautiful structure with so much history. She has a history degree, and her grandmother taught history. I'm a history buff and she loaded me with all the history that I could absorb. We did some tastings in the Christmas market and did some more exploring in the city. I highly recommend…”

“Our tour turned out to be a private tour since no one else had booked on the same day! Ferenc was an amazing guide!! He was so patient when we wanted to stop at different stalls, he wanted us to see what WE wanted. He provided lots of interesting information about Hungarian Christmas traditions and foods. Such a friendly guy, we felt as though we’d known him for a long time. Before the tour ended he gave us recommendations for a ruin bar, where to get langos, and more! Couldn’t be happier with this tour!!!”

Taste chimney cake and mulled wine while exploring Budapest Christmas markets, Vörösmarty Square, St. Stephen’s Basilica, and city landmarks.

“We had an incredible personalised tour of the Jewish quarter that not only showed us the synagogues but also covered so much more of the history and culture of the city. Our guide Kinga was so knowledgeable and our discussions went far beyond the scope of the tour. She introduced us to the ruin bars and local restaurants that we visited many times afterwards. It left us understanding much more about the great city of Budapest and wanting to return. Thanks again Kinga.”
