Top Budapest Day Trips

We had a wonderful day touring with our guide, Katie. We learned so much about Hungarian history and culture. It was a good mix of seeing different sights (basilica/ castle) and visiting a charming town where we had a great lunch and some time to shop. We highly recommend this tour!

I recommend this tour upon arrival in Budapest! We had a very good tour with Jose who is knowledgeable about the city history, and we covered an incredible amount of ground in our 2 1/2 hour tour. This is a great way to know which sites you might want to return to to spend more time as well as see places you may not have known about. Jose also knows the best photo opportunities. This was the first time we had ever written Segway’s and Jose was a patient instructor. It’s not hard to do and he was very good about keeping an eye out for our safety and making sure we were comfortable. Highly recommend this tour.

You can walk Budapest. Or you can ride it – and see far more of the city in far less time. We booked the 3-hour All-In MonsteRoller tour. What won me over wasn't just the fun of riding – that part is guaranteed anyway – but how well the whole thing is run. Check-in and the safety briefing were professional and refreshingly straightforward, even for people who have never stood on one of these before. The rollers themselves were in excellent technical condition, with no issues at all over the full distance. Our guide Balint turned a scooter ride into a proper city tour. He explains every landmark with real background knowledge and drops in dry, well-timed humour along the way. Never preachy, never boring – exactly the right balance. With eight people, the group size was ideal: small enough that nobody gets left behind and every question gets answered. You can see Budapest from plenty of viewpoints. But you rarely see this much of the city in three hours – and you rarely have someone explain it as well as Balint does.
