How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
We can’t say how your day will end, but when it begins with joining one of our local Budapest hosts, we know that everything in between will be amazing. You’ll weave your way through winding roads and leafy boulevards, discovering glorious palaces, ancient castles, trendy cafes, boutiques, and opulent neo-renaissance mansions.
Visit the awe-inspiring Buda Castle, or stroll along the banks of the Danube where you can explore the Fisherman’s Bastion. Pass the lush park of Margaret Island as you head on over to the Hungarian Parliament Building or dig deep to uncover the wonders of the up-and-coming Józsefváros district and lively Ferencváros.
We’ll always make sure there’s time to indulge in the tasty street food and restaurant classics that Budapest locals love, like làngos, a deep-fried bread dough topped with sour cream and cheese, and kürtöskalàcs, a sweet golden brown, spiral-shaped pastry. Spend the day as you would with a friend: chatting, laughing, eating, and taking in the atmosphere of a truly magnificent city.

Attila was a very good guide. He managed the tour to our requests and we saw some "off the beaten path" areas that really made the day !!

Sandor was an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable. He took us through non-touristy as well as popular streets and sights of Budapest, and introduced us to must-try Hungarian food and drinks in quaint cafes and bars, all the while sharing with us insights, stories and anecdotes which made the walking tour that much more interesting and enjoyable. We saw and experienced so much more of Budapest with Sandor than we would have otherwise. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tour was great. Balazs showed us Budapest through his eyes. We not only saw what we wanted to see, but got a native’s perspective on the history & events that helped shape many of those highlights.

He gave us a perspective that could only come through his vast personal experience, very different that any personal guidance we’ve received in any other city.

Balazs did an excellent job guiding my sister and I on a personalized tour of Budapest. He is amazingly knowledgeable about all aspects of past and present Budapest and was able to put together a tour that covered all the main sites we requested plus several others. I would highly recommend Balazs as a Budapest tour guide for individuals or groups. He is very friendly, speaks excellent English and is willing to readily adjust the tour as the day progresses in order to meet your needs.
