5.00This was an amazing tour, likely made that way by our amazing guide, Bianca. She took us to three different ruin bars, to include the original more popular (and huge) one and two more local ones. They all have such different vibes and were fun and quirky in their own way. She taught us about the history and culture of drinking in Budapest and how that has changed with generations, she took us to get Langos as a yummy snack, and introduced us to Palinka (or 5)! It was a fantastic time and provided great photo-ops as well. Highly recommend.
Funny.

5.00From the moment Bianca welcomed us, I knew this wasn’t just a bar crawl—it was a cultural immersion wrapped in warmth, humor, and heart. Bianca is the kind of guide who doesn’t just point out landmarks or pour drinks—she breathes life into Budapest’s history and nightlife with the ease of someone deeply rooted in both. Her storytelling is poetic and precise. She weaves tales of resistance, resilience, and art with a casual brilliance, all while making sure you have a drink in hand and a smile on your face. It never felt rushed. She struck the perfect balance between structure and spontaneity—each bar we visited felt curated, intentional, and rich with meaning. She even taught us a few Hungarian toasts, and somehow made every person in the group feel seen and included. More than just a guide, Bianca is a cultural bridge. Her presence made the evening unforgettable—not because of the bars we visited (though they were amazing), but because of how she made us feel: welcome, curious, and connected. If you’re lucky enough to have Bianca as your guide, trust that you’re in the hands of someone who knows the soul of Budapest—and will help you discover it too. Köszönöm, Bianca. You made this night one for the books.
Amazing tour
