When the time comes to show vacation pictures to friends&family (and Tinder), I can only point to badly lit selfies and random snaps of curiosities around the city (hello spaceship-like looking trash can). But not this time! Enter Richárd. Equipped with his camera, he took me on a well thought out walking tour trough the city. You can tell he put a lot of effort in the selection of the sights and design of the route. While I‘m usually quite awkward in front of the camera, Richárd made me feel relaxed. With his expert direction…”

“My wife Ann and I booked a private walking tour in Budapest with our guide Blanka and photographer Balint, and it was one of the best decisions we made on our trip. Blanka walked us through the city sharing the history and stories behind the beautiful sites we visited. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the experience feel personal rather than scripted. Meanwhile, Balint captured incredible photos of us throughout the tour. And I have to say, as a husband who sometimes feels the pressure of getting the “perfect Instagram shot”, this was pure luxury.
