This isn't just "old jewelry." The Holy Crown of Hungary has a history more dramatic than a Netflix series—it’s been stolen, buried, lost, and returned by the U.S. government. You will stand in the massive, 27-meter-high Dome Hall, watched over by stoic guards with drawn sabers, to see the crown and its tilted cross up close. It’s the symbolic heart of the nation. You’ll ascend the Grand Stairway, a space so opulent it makes most European palaces look like a DIY renovation. Imagine walking past massive granite columns—of which only 12 exist in the entire world—under ceilings painted by Károly Lotz. Every inch of the walls is covered in gold leaf and intricate frescoes that tell the story of a thousand-year-old kingdom. f you are between 6-24 and have a valid Student Card you can choose the Youth tickets type

Budapest Private Full Day City Sightseeing Tour Walking or by Car

Adriana_C, May 2026

Alexandra was amazing,...

Alexandra was amazing, knowledgeable and friendly. We walked at a comfortable pace and got to see all the points of interest, both walking and using public transportation. We stopped for a coffee break, for lunch, and of course, for as many pictures as we wanted - no need for selfies; she was our personal photographer. She’s one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had.

We would recommend this private tour as a wonderful way to learn about Budapest and spend several enjoyable hours. Hats off to Viator also as I originally booked this tour on our travel day. They quickly contacted the company and were able to switch it to the day we intended. Viator and Peter will take good care of you.

Budapest Danube River Candlelit Dinner Cruise with Live Music

Linda_B, May 2026

A nice night on the Danube River.

We planned the experience months in advance, showed up early and were given an assigned table by the window. The staff was all very friendly and polite. Everything was well organized for a nice 2 1/2 hour trip. There were numerous choices for appetizer, soup, main course and dessert. The roasted trout and brownie dessert were SO good! The live music consisted of a guitarist and two (a male and female) singers- they did a great job! Everything was perfect- a very nice night on the Danube River! Highly recommend!

Amazing experience

We had an amazing experience on this tour. Paul, our guide, was outstanding from start to finish. He shared fascinating insights, answered every question with patience, and made sure my mother and I felt comfortable and included. His deep knowledge and friendly attitude truly brought the experience to life. The pace was perfect, allowing us to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. You could tell he genuinely cares about what he does. Thanks to Paul, this tour was both educational and fun. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized adventure. We would book another tour with him.

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.

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!

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.

Budapest Danube River Sightseeing Night Cruise with Drink

Johanna_C, Apr 2026

Stunning Views!

Stunning views without all the extra distractions of dinner and/or entertainment advertised on other cruises. You really want to soak up the views without all that other nonsense. It was a great tour. I just wish people wouldn’t allow their children to put their hands on the glass - it ruins the photos for later guests. So many blurry spots. I don’t blame the company - they can’t clean the windows between each cruise. You may want to travel with a couple damp paper towels, just in case… In any event, I highly recommend this cruise.

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

Francine_F, Oct 2025

City lights, Sliverline dinner cruise

We did the silverline dinner cruise , the city night cruise which was a beautiful experience. You get a complimentary prosecco but a no host bar is available. The food was fine but the dessert was not a favorite for me. There was entertainment which was a representation of Hungarian culture and music. The dancers were good and talented. The staff especially Nora was very nice and helpful. Nice experience!
