My story

My name is Laszlo, I am a professional local tour guide with more than five years experience. I am the enthusiastic hiker, who is behind Trails of Budapest. But where did it all begin?

I grew up in Budapest and had been hiking in the Buda hills since I was a kid, as my parents took me to discover the beautiful nature beyond the concrete jungle of the city. My love for outdoor activities just grew further, as we discovered many hiking spots in Hungary with my friends in the following years. I started the National Blue Trail (aka. ‘Kéktúra’), when I met my wife, I became a huge fan of this amazing adventure. We love to travel a lot, and everywhere we go, we go hiking if it is possible. So that is where my insatiable passion for hiking comes from, and it is also the source of my vast knowledge of hiking and nature.

I used to work in an office, but I realized that’s not what I want to do in my whole life. I quit my job and became a certified tour guide, but first I was only taking city tours in Budapest. I always told stories about my hikes as well, so my guests started asking if I could recommend any hiking tours in Hungary. I realized no one guides daily hikes in the country, so I started Trails of Budapest in 2017, I became a pioneer in Hungarian tourism. Organizing hikes is a lot more than a venture for me. I truly enjoy sharing the experience of discovering the hidden natural treasures of Hungary with my guests from all over the world.
