I can not tell you how amazing Timea is....so knowledgeable, kind, open and informative. She made the history and current lives of the Hungarian Jews (and all citizens) vivid and real. We were a group of 4 couples from the Bay Area/California. She met us at our Airbnb, all communications were easy and clear. Post tour, she sent links to various histories/sites of Budapest so that we can delve deeper at our leisure. This tour was a highlight of our stay in Budapest. Please, do not hesitate to have her be your tour guide!!

I felt like we (my sister and I), were connecting with a long lost cousin with Timea. She was so warm, her energy was incredible. She is so knowledgeable about all things Jewish, Hungarian and the history of Jews in Hungary, especially Budapest. Timea is still extremely active in the Jewish community, and has preserved her Jewish faith along to her four children. It was fascinating to hear about the Jewish community that exists now in Budapest. Our family on our fathers side was Hungarian and I just assumed mainly all the Jews had left after the Holocaust, but there is still a strong Jewish community in Budapest, which gives me lots of hope and shows the resilience of our people. The Jews live on..B’H

We organized a private tour with Timea for 1/2 day on our first day in Budapest and she was incredible! Having grown up in Budapest, her insights were amazing. I booked with her directly via email, and she was easy and efficient with her communications on what to expect and allowed us to tailor to our interests. She picked us up at our hotel, and provided interesting commentary from the minute she met us. We learned so much. She even helped us with with recommendations of how to plan the rest of our time in Budapest and helped us with the app for public transportation, which was actually easy and came in handy. She followed up with a tremendous amount of information/links/websites/books/movies, etc..to learn more about the history of Budapest. Finally, a day or 2 after our tour, I reached out to Timea for some suggestions, and she responded immediately!
I felt like we made a friend!
