The Ruin Bar Diaries: Part II (Yes, I Came Back) - Our tour guide was Tamás—and wow, the guy knows everything about ruin bars and Budapest! It felt like hanging out with that one super-smart friend who also somehow knows where all the best drinks are. We had an awesome time with him and actually learned a ton about the city's wild, artsy past. Out of the three ruin bars we visited, I’d happily go back to two of them any day—seriously, just point me in the direction and I’m there. Oh, and get this—it was actually my second time doing this tour. Yeah, it’s that good. Repeat-worthy, memory-making, mildly tipsy magic. 🍻✨

Great ruin bars tour with Ferenc - Ferenc was an incredible guide and such a good laugh with us. The history of district 7 was so good to learn about. We enjoyed as many local drinks as we could manage. The ruin bars are a sight not to be missed. But do not clink your beers to make sure you respect the culture. Thanks for the tour Ferenc.

Not to be missed! - We had a great tour with Bianka! We were the only two people on the tour so we had a personal tour guide. She was very informed about the neighborhood we were in as well as the history of the synagogue which was the meeting point. Knowing the story of the ruin bars is a must to really understand the surroundings. Bianka made it so easy to visit the three bars and have a delicious snack as well. We really enjoyed talking to her about life in Hungary. This was a great tour! Highly recommend it.

We were able to see different experiences than if we had attempted to visit on our own and she was great to chat with and discuss life in Budapest. I would recommend both the tour and Bianca as a guide

My guide made it the best experience! - This was a truly wonderful experience. I was fortunate enough to have a solo tour, which meant it felt more personal and special. Despite it being only me, my guide, Fanni, was the height of professionalism and taught me so much about the area. I felt that I was being welcomed and introduced to a side of the city I never would have discovered on my own. It was one of the best experiences I had in the city and I recommend the experience to everyone and Fanni as the perfect guide!
