About us

Orsi

I was born in Budapest, I am a local here though I have traveled around the world quite a bit and even had the opportunity to live in different countries. 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..My special hobbies include photographing interesting pieces of street art which I consider a part of urban culture. My other passion is playing water polo.

Borcha

I studied in Veszprém, Munich and Stockholm but I left my heart in Budapest, which made me come home again and again. Though, the years I spent abroad helped me understand that questioning is one of the best tools to comprehend the world as it is… In my spare time I like exploring my country and beyond; the globe. I play the piano, dance salsa and do antigravity yoga.
