“Dominik is a very good guide who presented the most interesting tourist attractions of central Budapest in a competent and interesting way. I am particularly grateful for drawing attention to the often difficult and tragic events in 20th-century Hungarian history, which were closely linked to the rest of Europe, including my homeland Poland.”
