We will meet in a the most central location - called the Akvárium club in the 5. District, than we will walk approximately 25 minutes to the Ruin Pub district where we are going to visit many bars including the first one ever created - called Szimpla kert. Throughout our walk to the ruin bars I am going to talk about various topics related to Hungary, including an introduction to Budapest, culture, recent history and few fascinating details about the Jewish district as well .Our tour includes the visit of the 3-5 best ruin pubs (depending on the weather/season/day).We will have our first drink in Szimpla kert, which is the best and most unique in Budapest where I will explain to you about the story of this particular district in Budapest and for what reasons these ruin pubs appeared in first place. After that in each bar I am going to provide drinks for you, while you will have a chance to get to know your fellow group members better and have an open discussion about various topics.

I had such a wonderful experience with Eszter! I am traveling alone and so I booked this tour as I felt a little uncomfortable going to bars alone. She was so kind and fun! We went to several bars and she talked about the history of ruin bars, the history of the area and provided interesting insight! We had such a fantastic time- definitely book this tour- it is fantastic!

I received quite a unique tour in that it was a very small group but also the bars themselves were not packed with people so you got to explore each one in relative freedom. Ezster was a wonderful host who is passionate about what she does and she offers great insight to Hungary’s past and present. The beer is the second bar is fantastic. I would recommend.

The Ruins bars of Budapest are a do not miss experience and a guide like Ezster makes ALL the difference! Besides being a local and subject matter expert, she’s a master at generating interesting, hilarious conversation between strangers. Incredibly fun evening- highly recommend.

Amazing opportunity to see the Ruins in Budapest with lots of cool discussions of the history of the city. COVID-19 made this experience unique since the area was not very busy giving a chance to truly enjoy the bars and experiences that Eszter showcases. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Eszter was a wonderful tour guide and you could tell how much this city and culture mean to her. Many of the larger bars were unfortunately closed due to current circumstances, but Eszter did not let that stop us from learning about Hungarian traditions and having a great evening. It's hard to adapt in these situations and I could not commend Eszter more for being such a flexible guide and showing us a good time!
