  • 5Best private tour of Budapest

    Wonderful private tour with our very delightful and knowledgeable guide Anita. She did not rush us, and answered all of our extra questions. She was a font of knowledge about Budapest and Hungary. We enjoyed the tour immensely! It was worth every penny.

    An incredible and detailed tour of the Pest side of the city. There were many hidden gems as the tour promised! Great history and insight from our guide, Anita. Stopping for a coffee and strudel during the tour was an extra bonus!

  • 5Great introduction to Budapest

    Excellent way to get a handle on Budapest for first-timers. We visited key inner city locations on an easy three hour walk, got a handle on history and getting around, and had a wonderful guide in Andrea who was helpful, honest about the country’s tough, fascinating history, and funny to boot. Recommended.

  • 5Budapest highlights plus pointing out things you would walk past

    We loved learning about all the historical background of Budapest and the county of Hungary starting at the riverfront and walking through the city. With Petra stopping along the way to tell us stories, it allowed for us to ask questions and clearly hear and understand so much more about the people and the deep history in Hungary. We stopped for pictures along the way, and even went to a Strudel Shop and tasted local authentic strudel. It was definitely the highlight of our time in Budapest. Petra was informative, funny and full of information and suggestions of what to do after the tour. We would highly recommend this tour!

  • 5The tour was a highlight...

    The tour was a highlight of our trip! Anita was easy to talk to and her knowledge of history, politics, architecture, etc was amazing. We learned so much along the way about a city and country with a really interesting history. The strudel halfway through was delicious and authentic as well. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone who’s looking to learn about the city as they see it!

About Budapest

Budapest joins hilly Buda and flat Pest across the Danube, a grand capital of thermal baths, riverside palaces and lively ruin bars.

On the Buda side, Castle Hill holds Buda Castle, the Matthias Church and the white turrets of Fishermen's Bastion, all looking down on the river. The Chain Bridge crosses to Pest, where the Hungarian Parliament Building stretches along the bank and St Stephen's Basilica rises a few streets inland. Gellért Hill and its Citadella give the widest views.

Top-ranked sights in Budapest: House of Parliament (Országház), Buda Castle (Budai Vár), Chain Bridge (Széchenyi Lanchid) .
