Top Budapest Private Sightseeing Tours

Our tuk tuk drivers met us at our hotel and we were off on a fun ride through Budapest. There were four of us so we had two drivers, Greg and Gabrielle. They were both knowledgeable and passionate about their country. They took turns at each stop explaining what we were seeing and the importance to Hungary. You get a perspective from the tuk tuk you don't get any other way and they can go where cars and buses might not. In addition they tailored our tour around other tours we had planned so as not to duplicate. Definitely recommend!

Our driver communicated clearly with us and was prompt and gave perfect instructions on where to meet. I was so impressed that when we were bumped off of our flight at the very last minute and arrived six hours later on a different flight, he still picked us up and didn’t cancel. He was so nice about the whole thing and we were so grateful he worked with us on the last minute arrival time change! Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic walking tour of Budapest with our private guide Balazs. He took us to the specific places we requested. Balazs was entertaining and friendly. His wealth of knowledge of Budapest and all of Hungary was incredible. He shared so much history about the city and his country. We asked a lot of questions and he answered them all. Highly recommend him to anyone visiting Budapest!

Macarena was well-prepared, gave us the history of the area and showed us everything we requested and more! We spent the day in Pest at our request as our river cruise tour the following day was to hit the highlights of Buda. However, our ship had to leave the city early due to low water levels and we never got to see Buda. I wished that we had toured Buda with Macarena as well, which is what she recommended. There was a downpour in the middle of out tour and the guide knew exactly where to duck in until the rain was over. She also provided suggestions on where to eat once we were on our own. And took pictures of us (all the right angles) from her phone with a better camera than ours and sent them to us on WhatsApp. My husband and I are so glad we booked this tour! Thank you!

Tried to call to confirm night before. No contact number. Help number given was not related to this at all. Company was great but driver unhappy because he had to take bags up to the street and Viking was using the luggage belt. They told us to wait in the lobby.

This tour might seem expensive but it is worth every penny. We were met in our hotel reception by our driver/guide Arkos who was extremely friendly and guided us to our beautiful BMW 7 Series vehicle with complimentary water which was very welcome. Absolutely luxurious vehicle and very clean and comfortable. We advised that on previous days we had already been to a number of places listed on the itinerary and he explained that as this was a private tour we could decide where we wanted to go. We wanted to spend the most time on Buda side as we love history. Fortunately Arkos has a degree in history and his knowledge and enthusiasm in sharing this knowledge was outstanding and made the tour so much more interesting. He was genuinely happy to be showing us around and he so loved his job. An absolute gentleman and scholar. He took us to places that you would never find on your own. A reflection of his local knowledge having been born and bred in Budapest. We ended our tour on the Pest side of the city which gave us ideas as to where to visit the next day. The four hour duration went very quickly and we wished that we had booked for longer. Great that we could pick our own itinerary and how much time we spent in each location. Thoroughly recommend this company and especially Arkos as your guide / driver.

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

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.
