Zoltan took me on the most amazing tour I've ever been on. The tour was of Budapest's Jewish quarter and history. Zoltan is so knowledgeable and passionate about Jewish history and he didn't mind me persistently peppering him with questions. He showed our tiny group things that no one would ever get to see - for example, he knows the... More

Travelled to Budapest with the company and we booked a two hour walking tour with Rockhoppers to get to know the city a little bit. Had we known before we went how interesting and fun it would be, we would definitely have booked more time. Zoltan came and picked us up at the hotel, started by telling us a little... More

Zoltan may disagree but it seems he's had a not always easy life-long love affair with the city. I think this partly explains why he gives great tours and why he is able to offer so much depth. He's also of the vintage necessary to provide perspective on the city's history and its present. The other part I think is... More

My friends and I had an Ottoman tour booked with Zoltan on the first day of our visit to Budapest. I can honestly say that this was the most personalised tour I have ever been on; and what’s more it was with an amazing man who was extremely knowledgeable across a wide range of subjects. Zolton catered the tour based... More

Zoltan is a true Hungarian gent! He is a very knowledgeable man who tells you how it is. It was great to be in his company during this tour. As part of the ottoman tour we got exclusive access to see a Turkish bath from the 16th century that is currently being renovated and will reopen at some point in... More

I had the privilege of being in a private tour along with my friends with Zoltan. He collected us from our place of stay he was waiting patiently for us outside. The tour was tailor made for our specific needs and interested. He did not disappoint there! He very was very thoughtful in planning the tour and we were taken... More

We can endorse the excellent reviews of Zoltan's tours that we read about on Trip Advisor. We feel our time with Zoltan gave us a more informed, and balanced opinion of Budapest than we'd received during our first days there. We booked his Jewish tour, and learned much about the history of the Jews in Budapest, but Zoltan also answered... More

I came across the Rockhoppers website prior to my visit to Budapest, and I liked the fact that it did not have a typical touristy feel to it. The reviews on TripAdvisor were so outstanding that I decided to contact Zoltan to take the Art Nouveau tour. From the very start, Zoltan was extremely detailed in his e-mails with me,... More

Out of a full two weeks in Eastern Europe, our half day with Zoltan in Budapest stands out as the highlight. All good guides help you to understand the places you are visiting, but Zoltan was so much more. Out tour was of the Jewish Quarter, and he really provided us a window into Jewish life in Hungary, past and... More

I really enjoyed the Zoltan trip in Budapest and I felt privileged about the information which i learned. I had possibility to visit several Jewish synagogues and it was amazing to gain knowledge about the religion beliefs. Moreover during this attractive trip i visited one of the most popular bars in Budapest with unique, handmade style and in the same... More
