All Hungary Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 2

I booked this tour because it was very reasonably priced, left from a close location to our hotel, and received very good reviews. When we arrived, there were many people queued for another cruise, and we waited probably an extra 10 minutes for our boat to disembark and for us to embark. At first it seemed a bit chaotic and unorganized, and I was hesitant about actually getting the “guaranteed” rooftop seat. However, our embarkation was smooth, we left soon after everyone was on board and the patrons took their seats quickly and in an organized fashion. The tour was quiet and smooth - we sailed to the Green bridge and turned and went the other direction, turning before the Margaret bridge. It was so calm and somewhat surreal. The guests were quiet and respectful and the approximately 50 minute cruise was the perfect amount of time to see the sights. I had low expectations when we were standing in the queue to board but was pleasantly surprised by the clientele and the smoothness of the ride. Highly recommend. Location to board just south of the Chain Bridge is optimal. Budapest at night from the Danube is a sight to behold. Highlight was the birds flying above an illuminated Parliament.

Our tour began at the Market Hall where we were guided trough by Flora for an overview of Hungarian cuisine including a brief history of the famous Hungarian Paprika. We had our first tasting at the market in the pickle section. We went on to several more stops including cheese and sausage ending with a lovely lunch of goulash soup and wine. You learn so much about a country through its traditional foods and this tour did not disappoint.

A fabulous tour. If possible I would give it 6 stars. The original guide was involved in an accident yet the company was able to come up with a replacement and not cancel the tour. There was free time in Bratislava and in Vienna. Would have been even better if Bratislava was half an hour shorter, adding it to Vienna.
