What are people saying about Budapest

This day trip showed us a brief preview of Slovakia (Bratislava) and Austria (Vienna). The only thing is the road trip is about 2.5 hours from Budapest but it was definitely worth the drive. Our driver Filip was friendly and he showed us the eastern European hospitality. Our family really enjoyed the trip. Highly recommend!

Budapest Private Tour with a Local, Custom Highlights & Gems

John_A, May 2026

Knowledge, history and fun.

Juliana was a great guide, she took us to different points of interest throughout the city, she even gave us recommendations for nice places to eat and we made a stop at a very nice gelato place that shapes the scoops like flowers. Overall it was a great experience with a very knowledgeable guide.

Budapest Private Tuk Tuk Half-Day Tour

Jenna_I, May 2026

Excellent care for seniors, flexible itinerary, intriguing historical tales.

A highlight of our Budapest visit was a Tuk Tuk tour. Greg arrived punctually and we gave input on which sites we wanted included. He provided historical context for each stop combined with interesting anecdotes about his own life in the city. When traffic was heavy he drove down old streets to avoid congestion, where we learned about floods and Jewish history. Fantastic views of the river were captured for our memories. He introduced us to funnel cakes and took us to a street where huge trees were covered in spring blossoms, one side was white and the other pink. Magical! This tour was the best part of our trip and Greg was very sensitive to the needs of my 83 year old mother, adapting the tour as needed. It felt like a visit with a friend, thank you Greg!

Budapest: Unlimited Prosecco, Beer & Aperol Spritz Cruise

Shona_B, May 2026

A great and well organised experience.

A very well organised experience. Boat was modern and clean with 3 floors of seating with the top floor outside. Plenty of staff including security. A drink of Prosecco was presented on boarding and accessing refills was really easy. It was advertised as unlimited Prosecco, Aperol Spritz and beer. I didn’t see anyone with beer. There was 3 types of spritz and also different waters. We were on the middle floor which was quite busy so it was difficult to hear the audio commentary on the sites being passed. We had a lovely experience and was well worth the price and I would recommend.

Budapest Food Tour: Market to Tavern with 12+ Tasters & Wines

Lynn_C, May 2026

Great tour!

Lucy and Emma did a wonderful job explaining the food and the history behind it all. They were both very knowledgeable and personable. Both guides spoke English very well, so we were able to communicate with them very well. The group size was just right. We enjoyed it very much and would highly recommend!

Countryside Half-day Gastro-Wine Tour from Budapest Meal & pickup

Jayna_S, Apr 2026

A day in the country

What a beautiful day traveling to the country side. Julianna picked us up promptly at our hotel and was very cheerful . My sister and I loved the wines at the first wine celler and it felt so cozy and at home talking to the owner. The second winery served us a tasty Hungarian stew with barley pasta. Soooo yummy. I highly recommend.

Private Budapest TukTuk Tour: Custom Route, Hotel Pickup

Miriam_y, Apr 2026

The best way to see and learn about Budapest

Our driver - tour guide Gabriella was so knowledgeable about the history of both Budapest and Hungry itself. She took us all over the city, explained everything we were seeing and the history behind everything. She made me fall in love with the city and the people. It is the best way to see the whole city and learn about it. The Tuk Tuk was fun to ride in and because of the openness of the ride we were able to see and take tons of pictures. Anytime we wanted to stop to see something our driver did so safely. I think this is the best way to get a real feel for the city and it's history. I will be talking about this tour for years to come. I can't recommend it enough. When you book your tour I would ask for Gabriella, she made the whole experience great.

This is a more casual experience than other beer baths, but I liked how open and social the experience was. If you are looking for something more intimate and private this might not be the experience for you as I do believe going with a group adds to the way the experience is laid out.

Private Budapest City tour with Classic Russian Jeep or G-Wagon!

Sherri_T, Apr 2026

Seeing a lot effortlessly in a short amount of time.

Jon, a native of Budapest, picked us up promptly from out hotel and proceeded to give us a personal 3 hour tour of the entire tourist section of town. He was an excellent driver with a degree in history. He had studied in the UK and his English was easy to understand. He patiently answered all of our questions on historical, social, political, and architectural issues in Budapest and Hungary in general. As a bonus he directed us to the type of restaurant and eating experiences we were hoping to find. This tour allowed us to see so much in the three hours and we are now able to concentrate our limited time in Budapest on the locations of greatest interest to us instead of rushing around trying not to miss anything. Money well spent.

Budapest Danube Cruise and Dinner Options, Live Music and Dance

Layne_M, Apr 2026

Dinner Cruise on the Danube

Make sure you get on the right boat! Joined the line and almost ended up on the Sip and Sail .... Very nice waiter at dinner, made sure I wasn't ignored. Charlie? The buffet was a little chaotic when it opened as folks just charged into the line wherever , but the food was good and plentiful. I didn't see Langosh, though, and was hoping for that. Scenery was magnificent - totally worth taking the cruise!

Budapest Sip and Sail Danube Cruise with Unlimited Prosecco

John_S, Dec 2025

A fun way to see an amazing city

A very nice and fun cruise up and down the Danube which is a great way to see this stunning city. Staff was friendly, boat was nice,drinks were flowing, but I would suggest getting to the boat dock and in the line early as there wasn’t a lot of seating. One other issue was and I’m not sure if this is the app’s fault or the company who operates the tour, but there was no meeting point listed. I had to send a message asking and a few hours before boarding they responded with the location.

Dinner & Lights - Budapest Dinner Cruise

Nancy_S, Sept 2025

An Enjoyable Way to Spend An Evening

Silverline Cruises does an excellent job! When we first entered the boat we were greeted warmly and shown to our table. There were white tablecloths throughout and the tables were spaced appropriately apart given the number of people on board, yet providing a sense of intimacy. The music was lovely and not too loud as we’ve experienced in the past. The menu and food were very good! It was a multi course dinner offering choices on the entree and dessert. But the best experience of all was the lights of the city that come on while you’re on the water. It was an unforgettable experience!
