PRESS
From the foundation of Budapest Beyond Sightseeing (2007) we have been working together with more than a hundred Hungarian and international journalists, broadcasters, tv presenters.
The articles and programs about Budapest Beyond Sightseeing were not only introducing our unique and quality walking tours.
They also helped us to achieve our aim; to change the general negative attitude towards the 8th district into a more optimistic and less biased way.
Thank you for these media people for their openness and often enthusiastic cooperation.
'As a journalist I’m always trying to find new angles on things and Budapest was no different. Luckily, Budapest Beyond Sightseeing are! From my first contact with Gyuri I was provided with numerous contacts, including tourism councillors, magazine editors and gypsy grandmas. and that was before I even got on the plane over.
When we did meet (for a personalised service, no less) Gyuri provided a wealth of information, humour, bonhomie - and piping hot mulled wine.
If you simply want a whistle-stop touristy tour, all facts, stats and on the map, then don’t go with these guys. But if you’re eager to toss that guidebook, to step into those crumbling courtyards, to push through that open door and the opportunity to talk with the diverse characters of Jozsefvaros in person, then Beyond Budapest is definitely what you need.'
