Also, Adam's assurance that this would be even more memorable a tour for taking place as sunset was SPOT ON. It was breathtaking to see the area by fading daylight and then lit up as night fell. Just spectacular. I wish I'd taken more screenshots during!
I'm so grateful to the coworkers who made this happen and to Adam for making it so special and fascinating.

Very well planned tour and guiding!
What is a virtual walking tour?
When you can't physically travel, but want a chance to reach out and connect (or reconnect) with a new destination, virtual guided tours are the perfect option. A live virtual tour is delivered personally by your tour guide using a video conference software. During the virtual tour your guide is walking outside on location, while explaining what you can see and you can follow the tour from your laptop, smart phone, etc.
How long is a live virtual walking tour?
Each tour is about 60-70 minutes long.
How do I book a live-streamed experience?
Once you have selected which tour meets your taste send us an email to behindbudapest@gmail.com letting us know which day and when you would like to have your tour. Please note that the start times for the live tours are between 9am CEST to 6pm CEST.
Please make sure to double check how CEST translates to your own time zone. You can find a time zone calculator here.
I can't find an itinerary that suits my interest. Can you deliver a custom made live virtual sightseeing experience?
Yes! Let us know what you have in mind, and we will see whether we can deliver it!
Will be there others during the virtual tour?
It is up to you. Our virtual sightseeing tour experiences are private programs which means that you and those can participate that you invite.
How many can participate a live-streamed tour?
You can invite up to 10 devices to a virtual tour experience. After payment you receive your personal invite to the video conference. You can share that link with your guests.
How do I pay for a tour?
Once all tour details been set, we send you an email including a payment link and your pro-forma invoice. You can pay for the tour online with your credit card, or you can choose wire transaction as well. In order to issue a pro-forma invoice we need your name and address. Once the tour has been delivered you receive the invoice as well.
Can I pay in USD, or EUR as well?
Yes, you can wire transfer the tour price in USD, or in EUR as well. If you choose to pay online we can only issue invoices in Hungarian Forint.
Can I ask from my guide during the virtual tour?
Absolutely! To ensure the enjoyment of everyone on the live-streamed tour, your tour guide will stay put to answer your questions during the entire virtual tour.
You start the tour with muted audio, but you always have the option to unmute and converse with your guide.
What happens if my tour is canceled?
Tours may be canceled or rescheduled due to inclement weather, health concerns, and other unforeseen or uncontrollable situations. In the rare case that your tour has been canceled or rescheduled, we always try to find the best solution for you. Worst case scenario is that we wire transfer back the entire amount you paid for the tour.
What happens if I miss my tour?
If for some reason you miss the start time of your tour, you will still be able to connect while the tour is ongoing. Similar to the purchase of tickets to other live events, if you miss your reservation, we are unable to refund your purchase.
Who are the guides?
The same guides provide the live virtual tours as our normal tours. You can find out more about them here. All our guides have the necessary qualifications and licences to provide guided tours in Budapest.
Can I pause the tour?
In case there are more than 2 devices joining the virtual tour we break the tour into 2 parts, offering a bathroom break. For the second part you receive a new personal link in for the video conference in an email.
In case there are less than 2 devices, you may ask for a short break at any point during the tour. We don't recommend to have more than 1 break during a 60 minute long virtual tour.
Can other virtual travelers on the tour see me? Can the guide see me?
At the beginning of the tour, each participant starts with muted audio and their cameras turned off thus you cannot be viewed by your tour guide and you will not be able to view other tour participants and they cannot view you unless you, or the other participants decide to turn on their cameras.
What are the technical requirements to watch the live-streamed tours?
You can watch the tour on any device you use for streaming: your laptop, tablet, computer, and smart phone. We use a video conference platform, Zoom during the live virtual tours that supports all major browsers. A stable internet connection is required for an uninterrupted experience.

I've finished my studies in April 2011, and I've been working as a qualified guide ever since. If you are interested not just in the facts and figures but also the way locals live their life, I'm your man! I was born and raised in Budapest so I have been an eyewitness to a sleeping beauty's transformation to a multi-cultural metropolis. I can be your insider man to understand the Hungarians better, and to have some experiences with the local life.
I truly believe that the basis of this profession is the accurate, exciting and detailed information. Since I prefer books over the Internet, I can spend whole days in a library trying to find one single piece of information someone managed to sweat me with. I’m dangerously talkative, I’m an avid fan of Hungarian water polo and a huge admirer of Robert Capa. I love literature, legends, sport, mythology, music, history (especially modern history) and Art Nouveau architecture. And food…lots of food. I had a nice, two year long ’detour’ in Barcelona, where I perfected my Spanish. In 2012 I…
I'm a 3rd generation" Budapester" :) I have always loved spending a couple of hours on the Margaret Island or taking a nice walk up to one of our "hills". :) I finished the licensed guide course in 2008 and almost immediately I started working as a tour guide - in Turkey, where I spent 3 summer seasons. In the wintertime I traveled back to my beloved city, Budapest, and provided guided tours by bus. Almost 3 years ago I decided to fully dedicate my life to guiding. I really do enjoy walking everywhere and every time, so why not…
I am the guide, who didn’t want to be a guide. I’ve finished guiding school and still wasn’t interested in the job. But one day – Whoa! – I became a tour guide. And I loved it! If you are looking for a guide who is funny, amusing, and whose tours are not similar to any other guides’ tours then you are definitely looking for me!
Do you know the joke of Gorbachev driving his car in Moscow? No? It is such an old one, I have first heard it from Ronald Reagan. Never mind, come with me on a tour and I will tell you! Hi, my name is Orsi, I am a 35 years old troublemaker. I believe in coffee, chocolate and jokes. I ride anything with more than 1 wheel, and I am specialised in enjoying and complementing food, that someone else has made for me. I am fluent in Hungarian, English and Sarcasm, and I can not wait to meet you!
I am a licensed guide, a very lucky one as my job is still my passion – even after years of guiding in the city. I would like to show you this city and Hungary through a real Hungarian’s eyes. Where the streets tell you stories about the past, where you can bump into amazing buildings on every corner, where there is always something interesting going on. I don’t want to show you a city: I want to show you the place where I live. Hungary is a lot more than goulash, and Budapest is a lot more than just…
As a Pest born girl, living and working here all through my life Budapest is really my inner city. At the same time experiencing expat life in Prague during university studies, I managed to get the mood of another city and by travelling quite a lot abroad I find it important to broaden my horizon. As a Budapest local patriot I find it important to show my city with the eyes of a Local to all Visitors who become kind acquaintances during our tours. My special field of interests are history, comparative history, architectual periods, Art Nouveau and Jewish heritage…
My name is Andrea, my background is in sociology and communication. I was born and raised in Budapest, on the (more snobbish) Buda side and I really enjoy showing the sites of my hometown (both Buda and Pest) to interested travelers. You can recognize me from shoulder-length black curly hair.
Now, with 18 years of experience, I feel lucky, because my profession is my real passion and hobby, too. Researching and learning about architecture, history, urban legends and fun facts is a never ending project for me as it makes me proud to show the beautiful sights of Hungary to our visitors. Cities are changing all the time, like a living organism, so I have a lifetime project to admire and study its beauty and to show curious visitors its secrets and magic. Just like Budapest, the Hungarian countryside is full of wonders, breathtaking views over vineyards by the lake…

I'm a tour guide and a Spanish teacher, and the two professions are not even that different. I'm in my element in forests, markets, libraries, or on a bicycle - and all this can be part of a tour! I love the classics, but if you want to discover things off the beaten path you can end up with me on a railway run by children, or even in a cemetery... but don't worry, only to look around. Falling in love with Budapest every day again and again I pass on this passion to my guests as well.
As a 100% Budapest born, it was something natural to be a local guide and show my lovely city to foreigners. I am oficially an economist but to be honest, i have never worked in that sector. I much more prefer explaining our history and the present life of locals to you. You can chat with me in English and Spanish, in both languages:)
I became a tour guide in an exciting manner. At university, my professor assigned us to describe our dream job. After my presentation, she told me that I was in great luck as this is a real job and it is called being a tour guide. I took the hint and got my tour guide license. I am still doing it and still love that I can entertain by sharing my knowledge while bringing people and cultures closer.
My name is Gergely in Hungarian but it's much easier if you just call me Greg! :) I've born in the downtown of Buda in an intellectual family and my family background and upbringing undoubtedly led to my present profession: tour guiding. I took the exam in 2006 and since then I'm active in the tourism biz either as a conventional tour guide in the city or an adventurous outdoor guide (hiking, canoeing, rafting, climbing etc). Beside my deep love and passion towards my home town my "weakness" is definitely honesty so parallel all the useful knowledge I wish to…
I was born in Budapest, I am a local here though I have travelled around the world quite a bit and even had the opportunity to live in different countries like Spain, Guatemala, Russia. At university I studied social work and jewish history. With that said - Hungary is my home, and as a professional guide, I enjoy a great deal showing my country to anyone who is interested in exploring it. I love music, history, arts and travelling. I like to discover yet unknown details, hidden places (Did you know that Budapest has beautiful staircases in several residential houses?…
