Had a rare hike in the winter snow! Laszlo was very informative and taught me many new things about nature. From trees and fungi to insects. The hike wasn’t too strenuous and the views from the top over the city are beautiful. A lovely half day and I recommend you take the time to experience this!

My hike in the Buda Hills was enjoyable and Laszlo was the best tour guide I could have asked for. I was lucky to have a private tour as the other person cancelled at the last minute

Had a wonderful hike with guide Laszlo through the Buda Hills and to the tower for a beautiful view of the city. The day even included photos and a stop for strudel!
