Make the most out of your adventure in Budapest and spend it with a local Budapest host - who knows and loves their lively city. The game-changer is that this personalized experience will feel like you are spending time with a close friend, exploring grand palaces, ancient districts, leafy boulevards, delightful cafés, quirky ruin bars, unique shops, or all of the above.
And while you may not be able to see the entire city in just a few hours, you will still get an authentic, engaging, and lasting impression - and more than a few recommendations on how to spend the rest of your trip.
You could spend time discovering the breath-taking sights of Buda Castle or the neo-gothic Fisherman’s Bastion along the banks of the River Danube, or get lost among pop-up markets, try sweet treats in traditional bakeries in the Jewish Quarter or check out a ruin bar - they’re just as cool during the day.

We had an amazing time being guided by Agnes (we called her St Agnes because she is just angelic!). Her knowledge on the city, the history, art, culture and fabulous recommendations made our Budapest stay perfect. Well Done City Unscripted for having such a wonderful staff member that cares about the clients interest and well being during the tour. Thank You Agnes!

Our private tour with Raja was great. He contacted us prior to the excursion to get a feel for what we wanted to see and experience and PERSONALIZED it perfectly. It is THE ONLY way to get acquainted to a new country.

Richard set a pace that was comfortable for us. We started with the Jewish corner then did a large circle back to our hotel. He also took us to a great street that had many Hungarian food options. We saw the many highlights that are part of the Pest side of Budapest. He gave us great suggestions for seeing the other side.
