József Schenk | main guide

I grew up next to the Danube, the proximity of the water permeated my life. When I was a child, we fished, rowed, bathed, and "banded" in the summer. If I had to say this in a movie, with my childhood favorite, Le a shoe! - I would like to bring back the atmosphere of my childhood with the film.

Over time, the 90s took me to the world of IT, but I always found relaxation and peace at the water's edge. It was the place where you forgot your daily worries. I always dreamed of how the Danube could be my "workplace", exchanging my comfortable chair in front of the keyboard and monitor for the hard, constantly moving, sometimes uncomfortable canoe bench.

In order to make my dreams come true, I set up a kayak, canoe, and boat rental company in my business, and then I took on tour guiding for smaller groups. I note here that a lot comes from human instinct, but it is always worth learning from experienced tour guides who "walk on water". During the tours I led two decades ago, I got to know thousands of people, I saw children grow up from young people, parents from grandparents. These tours are always cheerful, full of adventures and experiences, but what I have always been proud of, they are safe.

As a member of the EvezzVelem team, I joined the Ráckeve (Soroksári) Danube branch as a tour guide with all my knowledge and fun in recent years.
