She not only provided us with a wealth of knowledge but also meticulously planned the tour, ensuring that we had a seamless and enjoyable experience. Thanks to her exceptional navigation skills, I managed to capture some of my most cherished memories from this incredible vacation!

We did a 4 hr walking tour with K A’kos on our second day in Budapest. Just my wife and me and A’kos our guide. He adjusted the pace to suit us, and per her request we did not use any public transport. A’kos’s profound knowledge of Hungarian history , culture and language (He is a native born son!) allowed us to more fully understand these influences on present day Budapest. I always like to learn some of the language of the countries we visit, and again his excellent English proficiency and teaching ability helped me with my Hungarian 101 : thank you, thank you very much, yes, no, please etc. A’kos just really accommodated to our pace and cultural interests. There was never a dull moment. I will seek him out again should we be so fortunate as to return to Budapest.
Our guide Christine Teplaer was fantastic- knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. We learned so much and got to see all the top sites and hidden gems of Budapest. Highly recommend this tour and ask for Christine!
We had Dalia as a guide for our four hour tour and she was awesome! Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable about every landmark and back story, she was patient and kind about our picture-taking and bathroom visits and many many questions. Some guides know information, and Dalia certainly does, but what makes her special is that she's an excellent storyteller.
Christine Tepean was great! So kind and pointed out all of the important parts of beautiful Budapest. 5 stars for her!!
Great guide (Dalea) and efficient driver. We had already been in Budapest for a day and had seen some of the things normally included. Dalea adjusted her routine to take us to the sites we hadn’t seen yet. Very accommodating.
Excellent knowledge from Dhalia, our guide.Super friendly tour, great professional. Clear explanations.
Christine Teplain was our guide and Laslo was our driver for four hours for two days. Christine is very knowledgeable, very accommodating and very personable. We explored all the important historical sites in Budapest. If you are looking for a wonderful tour guide experience choose Christine. Thank you Christine and Laslo for making our trip such a memorable one.
Traveling with another couple, my husband and I enjoyed so much our tour guide, Christe Teplan and the driver, Lazlo. We did two 4-hour tours with them on consecutive days. Though it took us some effort to understand her English, she taught us much about the history of Hungary related to all the sites we saw and she also helped us understand what life in Hungary is like currently. She is a Hungarian native and her heart for her country shows. Highly recommend spending the money for a tour guide like Christe and for the convenience of having a driver. She advised us as well on other sites or things we could do on our own. So much to see and so much to do...we got great "bang for our bucks" in securing Christe and Lazlo!
Christine Teplan was excellent! We had a wonderful day in Budapest seeing all the major sites and more. She is Incredibly knowledgable and accommodating.
Great tour!! Christine Teplan showed us a lot and had great knowledge of Budapest history!!!
We spend 2 magnificent days with Christine Teplan exploring all the important historical sites in Budapest. We fell in love wth this city and would highly recommend that you contact Christine when visiting! She was extremely knowledgeable and so sweet. She made our experience, one that we will never forget!
On April 12th we had a walking tour with Christine Tepla'er. Our driver was Laslo. Both were terrific. Christine showed us the area and told us interesting facts that we would not have otherwise known. She is very personable and very informative. We had a problem with our flight out of Budapest. Christine and laslo were very helpful and arranging for lost love to drive us to Frankfort to make our connection there. They went above and beyond the Call of Duty to be sure the end of our trip was successful. Many thanks to both of them.
As a couple, we had a 4 hour Budapest tour which was so good that we asked to extend to 5 hours. Our guide, Zoltan, and our driver were both extremely helpful and made this experience very smooth and pleasant. Zoltan knew all the hidden spots for great photos of the main sights and was highly knowledgeable about the city’s history, while also being very easy to chat with more generally about life in Budapest and Hungary. All in all, a top notch service that we would highly recommend to anyone wanting to see as much as possible in one day.
Fabulous tour with Christine Teplan who was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and made the experience enjoyable. Thank you Christine. Visited all the best sites and learnt so much about the history of the places and Budapest in general.
It was amazing! Christine was awesome and did a great job being our guide! She showed us exactly what we wanted and did a great job helping us navigate the public transit
Christine T was a fantastic guide, expertly navigating the mass transit systems to allow us to see as much as possible. She showed us a side of Budapest that can only be brought out by someone who has lived there for a long time. Highly recommend.
Very nice lady, very informative and excellent English, is open to take you wherever you want that is not on her itinerary. Had a laugh as well with her.
We had a wonderful private tour of Budapest with Christine Teplan. She was so knowledgeable about the history of the city and customized the tour for our preferences and what historic site were of most interest. She also helped us to enjoy some local food from a food truck which was a real treat. She even took me to a local store to buy some thermal clothes. Thank you for showing us around the wonderful city of Budapest.
It was a fantastic tour. There is no way I would have been able to see so much of the city without the guidance. Highly recommend it.
Christine T. was a great guide and made my family feel very comfortable. I can strongly recommend her for anyone traveling to Budapest.
We had very informative tour full of knowledge from Christine Teplain was very detailed about the historical storry of Budapest and our driver Gabor was fantastic and very professional
Wonderful Tour Experience with Ms. Christine! We had an amazing tour in Budapest with Ms. Christine! She was incredibly knowledgeable and full of fascinating information about the city’s history, culture, and landmarks. Her passion for Budapest really came through, and she made the entire experience engaging and enjoyable. We truly appreciated her insights and the personal touch she brought to the tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip — highly recommended!
Cristina is an extremely nice person who immediately gained our trust. She loves her city and is very proud of her heritage. Our experience was positive in the sense that we did visit all listed sites (in accordance to our own list). However, Cristina could still provide more insights and exact data + most important points to consider on each experience.
We had a 4 hour walking tour of Budapest, with Christine Teplan from Sweet Travel Private Tours. Christine took us to many of the wonderful sights in Budapest. I can only express my sheer delight in walking around with Christine, who explained the history of each site we visited with incredible knowledge of the city. I would highly recommend Christine for her knowledge of Budapest. Harold B
We booked a 4 hour walking tour. Our guide was Christine Teplal. She did a great job. She’s extremely knowledgeable on all the sites and explained the history and significance of them well. She was also able to answer any questions we had. Christine was very friendly and accommodating to our site seeing needs. Definitely a great experience overall.
Krisztina was a fabulous guide. In just 4 hours she introduced us to highlights throughout both Buda and Pest. Her knowledge of the history of the area is top-notch! Growing up in Budapest added to the depth of information she shared. Krisztina knew we would be in Budapest for the next 2 days so made sure we knew the tram- bus-underground transportation we would need to follow up on her many suggestions of things to do. Thank you, Krisztina!
We have used many private guides while on vacation and found Christine Teplan to be of the highest quality, most knowledgable and friendly of the tour guides to date. She answered our questions, provided detailed/insider perspective and was very fun. Our driver Dezsi was also just great. We’d highly recommend them both.
Erika was amazing! She catered our tour to exactly where myself and daughter wanted to see. She gave great details about the Hungarian history and even walked into a pastry shop with us to explain the significance of each Hungarian cake.
We met Christine at our hotel, she explained where the tour was going to take us and then asked if there was any sites in particular we wanted to see to make it more personal to us . She was extremely knowledgeable, personable and passionate about the history of Budapest. Would recommend this tour with Christine
Superb 4 hour tour by Private car to see all the sights in Budapest. Christine our private guide, was very knowledgeable, charming, fluent in English and brilliant in terms of her knowledge and ability to share it with us. Highly recommend the tour and also Christine as a guide.
We did a full day walking tour of Budapest with Stephen The Tall Man. He had just the right mix of culture, history, and fun facts. He was very knowledgeable on everything Budapest and Hungary. We would recommend this tour to others.
Stephen The Tall Man was very informative. We had great tour with him, particularly the castle area and other Buda sections. He had a great personality and seemed to love his job. We highly recommend him!
My tour guide was Christine. I highly recommend her. She was knowledgeable, very pleasant, on time, and kept the tour interesting. Note: you will have to purchase an day pass for public transportation. 8 Euro.
What a wonderful experience!! We went around the city with the guide Gabriella, a very nice person with a very great colture! She's told us a lot of things about the hungarian history and tradition. She showed us things that we wouldn't been able to see by ourselves! Thank you Gabriella! We loved the time we had shared together! We advice to do this experience because it's worth it!
We absolutely loved our tour with Christine and Patrick! They made everything super comfortable and convenient for us, while sharing so much about the local history and culture along the way. We saw so much of the city in just 4 hours!
Our professional business group was guided on a nearly 4-hour tour by Christine arranged over our hotel (Moments) on Andrassy utca. She was particularly knowledgeable about the historic economic development of the city in the 19th century, which was a focus of our group. For most of our group from far corners of the EU, this was a wonderful and personal introduction to Budapest!
The 7 hour private walking tour with Sweet Travel Private Tours, specifically with Gabor, was the highlight of our 10 day trip to Europe. Gabor is extremely kind, patient and knowledgeable. His understanding of Hungarian and European history is very impressive and we learned so much from him. His positive energy is contagious and we truly enjoyed having his company seeing all of the beautiful sites of Budapest. I highly recommend requesting him as your guide - you will not be disappointed. We chose a 7 hour tour but the company is very flexible with timing. We had our own itinerary in mind, but Veronika & Kata in the main office were very helpful solidifying our plans and giving us advice on what sights required advance ticket purchase. Thank you Gabor and team for such a memorable day & experience!
My husband and me have just come back from our great trip from Budapest. We must say that our tour with Kristina and Michael was a wonderful experience. Christina is such a knowledgable lady and Michael a true gentleman. They made our stay in Budapest so interesting and unforgettable! We are planning our next trip to Budapest in the spring. Thank you!
Kristine did a an excellent job of showing us around Budapest. She earned her degree in Hungarian History so she knows all the historical details of the sights, monuments and buildings that you see. Lots of energy and enthusiasm made for a quick four hours!
We had a wonderful tour of Budapest with Kristine - what a wealth of knowledge! Great to get such a good overview of Budapest and its fascinating history.
We were met at our hotel on time and dropped off back at our hotel by our brilliant guide Christine. She was there 10 minutes early with a lovely smile on her face. We chose a 4 hour walking tour but with no particular agenda. All we asked is for her to show us the real and meaningful sights. Christine has a real affinity for the area and the people and this was apparent during the tour. We learned about the history and the present with the serious and sad history and also interesting and funny sights and stories. The Dohany Street synagogue was the highlight and took our breath away. The other synagogues had their own beauty and significance. Christine shared some wonderful insight into the synagogue and the adjoining museum. We stopped at a coffee shop at our request and chatted about our lives and families and the local population. Guiding is more than pointing out sights and reciting history and Christine has this ability. This is a wonderful part of the city and worth seeing. Ask Christine to guide you.
Fantastic 4 hour walking tour with Bogata as our guide. We were happy to be lead and managed to see so much in the time. An excellent way to get the feel of this great city. Bogata was extremely well informed and made for a fascinating companion. Highly recommended.
Teplan Krisztina was our tour guide and given weather on the day was minus 10, snowing and dam cold, improvised very well to get us around the main sites with an excellent knowledge and then recommendations with directions for our free days to expand our site seeing. Excellent programme and tour.
<p>Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and a great asset to understand the history and the people of Budapest. Starting at our hotel we walked took a cab and finally the underground to get around and see some of the important sites in Budapest and in Pest. Small groups let you get more of a flavor of the city and the Hungarian people. It's the only way to go.</p>
We did a very interesting walking tour around Budapest. Our guide Cristina was really good at explaining the whole history of the city and showing us the most significant things.
Krisztina is very prepared, very nice but above all passionate about her work. You can see and feel that behind his explanations there is study and preparation. 🔝
Beautiful experience thanks to the guide Cristina , a person as well as loving his work, is a person who transmits so much for his professionalism and above all his command of the Italian language. He described the history of Hungary and made us go back in time. Very good. Nice experience 😘
Une belle découverte de cette ville pleines de surprises. Aidée par notre guide qui l'a sublimée. Elle a mis tout son coeur à nous montrer le plus de choses possible en n'omettant pas beaucoup d'histoires. En 4 heures cela a été un survol, mais cela nousxa donné l'envie de revenir 😊
Kristina is an outstanding guide, with a stunning culture who made us discover and love her city. Humor, tasty anecdotes, the past and present of Hungary, combined with a magnificent walk between essential monuments and unusual points of interest.
