Best way to start holiday!

Our tour guide Rita was absolutely fabulous! She really took the time to explain everything! Every single stop was super interesting, beautiful and historic. I would definitely recommend booking this on a sunny day it makes all the difference. At the end she also told us about the best restaurants and places and how and where to get tickets and really made the experience super! 5 stars, don’t miss it! Key note: you are kind of expected to bring a cash tip, I did 1000 Hungarian fornit, some people did less some more it is totally up to you!

Budapest Castle District Walking Tour

Andreas gave a wonderful...

Andreas gave a wonderful tour through the Buda district, blending history details, humor and some personal favorite places. There were spots that he showed us that I did not read about in a travel book and would have missed (ie., the nuclear bunker used as a hospital). Andreas clearly knows the history of his country and is passionate about sharing it with us.

Courtney_R, Mar 2026

Best decision of the day

Claudia was absolutely brilliant! Her tour was so fun, funny, and informative. She covered so much ground and told us all about history, politics, modern day goings-on, and general fun facts. I know how to read horse statues now! Who knew leg placement meant something! Honestly I majored in history and I learned more about Budapest in this 2 hour tour than I did in a 4 year degree 😅 (maybe that's on me but I think Claudia deserves endless credit for how much info she is able to pack into such a short time). Honestly can't recommend it enough. 💯/10 A++ would do again without a single hesitation

Free Buda Castle Tour: Fisherman's bastion and hidden gems

Philip_M, Mar 2026

This is the best walking...

This is the best walking tour I’ve been on. It exceeded all of my expectations for a free tour. Klaudia was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny! She helped us break the ice with our tour buddies and encouraged us to ask any questions we had. She expertly answered all of our questions and truly gave us an appreciation for the depth and complex history of the region. I left feeling like I had befriended a local that truly wanted to show me the best parts of her city. My only regret is that I didn’t take some of the other tours offered by Luna Walking Tours.

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
