What are people saying about Budapest

Marissa_M, Jul 2026

Expensive but worth it

László Széplaki Was our driver, he was on time, commuted well before our trip about pyr meeting place, very courteous and knowledgeable. He drove us to places that we have not been to and let us take pictures. Kids loved the experience and they are still talking about it. We highly recommend this experience, expensive but it was worth it. If you think about it, you will spend just as much renting car/ paying for uber to see the whole city. This was 3 hrs of tour, and we were not exhausted from walking. Worth it.

From Budapest: Bratislava and Vienna - Full-Day Guided Tour

Mildred_P, May 2026

Great experience! We love this tour!

The tour to Vienne and Bratislava was a wonderful experience. The guide called Ahmed from West Bank is a guide well educated, gentle. His driving skills were so good and he gave to us several times during the trip candies, choco, water, wc, etc. I strongly recommend this tour w/ Ahmed. The tour language is english but he speaks “some words” in other languages. Now I will the review in spanish…..el guia turistico llamado Ahmed fue muy cooperativo y muy educado en este tour de solo 8 personas, nos sentimos como si estuvieramos en familia, un muchacho muy considerado y cooperativo con las personas mayores que ibamos en el tour. Nos obsequio en varias ocasiones golosinas como chocolates, confituras, agua, un trago de palinka y vino. Mi esposa y yo recomendamos este tour con este guia….muchas gracias Ahmed !!!!

Budapest Romantic Private Tuk Tuk Tour

Christopher_Y, Apr 2026

Tuk Tuk Tour of Budapest

The Tuk Tuk tour is an excellent way to see Budapest and the main tourist attractions. The vehicles can be parked almost anywhere so it is easy to get in and out when viewing a historic site. Our guide, Martin, was excellent with a first class knowledge of the city and the attractions. A very enjoyable trip.

Budapest Culinary & Wine Walk

Jay_S, Feb 2026

Just book this one…

You do these tours because of what you will learn about the place, people and culture both from the guide and through the food. This tour was great. Can highly recommend. They are constantly working on making it better and showcasing what they are proud of culturally, and we learned a lot, it was well paced (not rushed and didn’t drag) and gave a great introduction to Hungary and Budapest.

Essential Walking Tour

Susanjselby, Jan 2026

This tour IS essential for first time visitors.

Zoli , our fabulous guide, was great! Animated, full of knowledge and also had all those little facts and antidotes we all love. As we visited Buda and Pest, expect a fair amount of walking and we also used the metro and bus. For info, over 65s can travel for free, you just need to carry ID, I had bought a 3 day pass Like many, we book a tour to both learn and help us decide on where we want to visit afterwards. You’ll be spoilt for choice, Budapest has a fascinating history and surprisingly tough rules for drivers! Thank you to Zoli for a great afternoon

The Parduns in Budapest

Gabor (Gabriel) was a very friendly, highly knowledgeable, super-friendly & safe driver/tour guide. It was an amazing way to see Budapest when time is short. We saw a week’s worth of sights in 3 hours. The tour itself was a very flexible mix of driving, narration, stops and taking in the sights. Clean newer Mercedes sedan, parking privileges all over the city, so no waiting around or parking issues. Highly recommended!

Private city tour by van

Guillermo_B, Dec 2025

Great tour for a first day in Budapest

This was a really good tour, perfect for a first day in Budapest if you want to get the lay of the city. Our tour guide was Zoltan, and he was great - very knowledgeable, well informed and nice. Also, the van he drove us around in was super comfortable and in great condition. We would 1000% recommend his services.

Budapest Hammer & Sickle Communist Times Tour

Darshana, Dec 2025

We really enjoyed this...

We really enjoyed this tour and especially our guide, Anna, who is extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Anna explained the communist past of both the city and the country in a very clear, thoughtful, and neutral way, focusing on historical context rather than pushing any bias, but added lots of personal and family stories from the era. The tour ended at the Retro Museum, which added a great touch and helped bring everyday life under communism to life. It was a very good introduction to Budapest and its history, and we’d highly recommend it, especially early in your stay.

Half day Budapest city tour by car / minivan

Budapest in a Short, Comfortable, and Insightful Tour

An informative tour that blends history, gastronomy, and all the key viewpoints — comfortably from the car, with punctuality and even a good bottle of water included. We stopped at several major landmarks for photos and short stories about each place, which really helped bring Budapest’s history to life. The guide was flexible with the itinerary and managed to offer a clear snapshot of the city’s charm in a short amount of time. If you’re on a tight schedule, this tour covers a lot — fast, intense, and still comfortable. Definitely worth it.

Private Transfer from Budapest Airport to the city - arrival

Marcie_P, Oct 2025

Like Clockwork

My driver texted me several hours in advance to confirm, share his number and info on what to do once I had retrieved my baggage. Gave me total peace of mind which was really appreciated after a long, tiring travel day to an unfamiliar place! My flight was delayed an hour but he was ready to meet me as soon as I called him.

Full Day Private Budapest City Tour With Lunch and Cruise option

Michael_M, Oct 2025

High energy and interesting tour!!

Zsofia (Sophia). Was a high energy positive personality and gave a great tour of Budapest. We spent the majority of time driving in her car to various places starting with Pest and then moving over to Budapest. She offered a detailed explanation at each site and gave us Hungarian lessons along the way. We stopped and walked at several locations including Heroes square and St Mathias church. You can tell she had done this for decades as she has a mental script of everything and continues to talk all through driving in the chaotic traffic in the city. Budapest has the most wonderful architecture and is an interesting mix of classic architecture from late 1800s/early 1900s along with communist era brutalist buildings in various stages of maintenance. As an American, the long history of the Hungarians and all the occupations such as the Romans, the Ottoman Turks, the Hapsburg dynasty, Austria Hungarian empire, the Nazis, the Soviets, the long period of communism and then the transition to capitalism is fascinating!! Zsofia is a true Hungarian and loves to talk about her country. Now is probably not for everyone as like I stated she is high energy and forward which would probably not work for some subdued, less adventurous Americans, but it worked for us!!

Budapest Danube Bend Private Tour Lunch and Cruise

Enriching tour with Susan

Susan was by far the most knowledgeable travel guide we ever experienced. She is a walking encyclopedia for all historical events not just our tour related. It was a very worthwhile experience showing the Danube bend towns/attractions along with key attractions in Budapest. Very enriching experience.
