Hola! Soy María Julia, guía de turismo en húngaro, inglés y español!
I am an official tour guide in Buenos Aires, and since 2014 I’ve been showing our beautiful city and country to both Hungarian and international travelers. I was born in Buenos Aires, grew up in a Hungarian family in Argentina, and am an active member of the Hungarian community in Buenos Aires.
Whenever I can, I also travel. Since childhood I've explored Argentina thoroughly and know it intimately. I lived in Budapest for six years and have traveled extensively across Hungary and Europe as well.
I give tours in Hungarian, Spanish, and English, guiding both small and large groups throughout Buenos Aires, Tigre, Argentina, and Uruguay. My clients come from many continents and a wide variety of countries.
I have also organized trips throughout Argentina—including Iguazú, Mendoza, Bariloche, El Calafate, Ushuaia, Salta, and Córdoba—as well as in Rio de Janeiro and Uruguay. I arrange transfers, walking tours, experiences, bike tours, and minibus city tours, in addition to multi‑day excursions.
I’ve worked with the Hungarian Embassy in Argentina, Siemens Energy Hungary, Toyota Hungary, Hotel Imperial Park, Tigre Free Walking Tours, the cultural association Emese, as well as travel agencies from Hungary, Transylvania, Slovakia, and Argentina, in addition to private clients.
