It’s an easy, budget-friendly way to see the highlights while enjoying the company of a small group—and you might even make a few new friends along the way.
You’ll meet your guide near the Budapest Eye, right in the lively heart of downtown Pest, just steps from cafés, shops, and the elegant Andrassy Avenue.

We took this tour on our first day in Budapest. Judit was a great guide who took us to the main locations in the city (Pest side) and gave us lots of interesting historical information. She also ended the tour with restaurant recommendations (we went to two and really enjoyed both). Highly recommend this tour to learn more about Budapest to give context to your visit.

Lots of interesting history, traditions, and culture on this tour. Gary was terrific! He packed the 2-hours with fascinating stories and humor. He recommended we take your Buda Castle tour the following morning, and we weren’t disappointed by that one, either. Thanks.

Our guide told us he'd only been a registered guide for two months but he was great - informative and funny. We learned some of the history of the Hungarian people and saw a number of important sites on the Pest side of the city. We'll worth the time!
