This is a walking tour for nine and a half miles and no admission to the important sites.

Mark_L, Aug 2025
There's nothing on the website when I booked this tour that says it's a walking tour I repeat walking tour I put in 9 and 1/2 Mi today and there was nothing in the website that said this was essentially a walking tour all over budapest. It was a great tour and we saw nice things and my guide Zoltan was terrific and the lunch was great but the walking was unexpected. The only Transportation was by Subway and tram which were fine and Sultan navigated and paid for that just fine. Another thing to be aware of is that there is no admission to any of the sites. There is no admission to the opera house there is no admission to the synagogue there is no admission to the Palace there is no mission to The Basilica these are all walk by experiences which are fine but time after time I was disappointed that we could not go in. Again not zoltan's fault but the website and advertisement for the tour does not make it clear that this is a walking tour with no admission to the important attractions.

Great town great tour

Keith_M, Jul 2025
It was a rainy day, but our guide did a great job leading us through the rain using the subway, trolleys and the bus. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful and the restaurant for lunch was great. Budapest is a wonderful town with many things to see. A very walkable town, civilized and safe feeling.

Our Budapest walking tour...

Our Budapest walking tour was just wonderful. It was long 7h walking tour but totally worth it. Our tour guide Zoltan was was very attentive and knowledgeable. Our lunch was delicious.

Wonderful experience in Budapest.

This is mostly a walking tour, so there's no private transportation like minivans or so. Having said that you have an option to utilize public transportation which I highly recommend. This way you have more time to explore the sites actually worth exploring. I recommend purchasing a 24 hours pass available at any metro station (some bus and tram stations have it as well) for 2500 forints. Talk to your guide he will help you figure it out. The tour itself covers pretty much everything you want to see in Budapest which is great for getting to know the city and see what you want to explore next. Keep in mind that it doesn't not cover "the insides" of churches, buildings of interest, etc , as they all require additional tickets. Have an honest discussion with your guide of what you want to see the insides of and what should/can be skipped. The lunch provided covers a traditional 3 meal course and it's delicious. Keep in mind those are "preset" (no substitutions), so if you have some dietary restrictions contact the provider - before - the tour. As a summary we really enjoyed our time and highly recommend it to everyone. Special thanks and praise go to our guide Zoltan. He was amazing.

Walking day in busapest

mark_h, May 2025
Zoltan was our guide. Very friendly and personable and a real passion for local history. Great day but a lot of walking. Got to experience bus tram and underground too!!. Lovely traditional meal half way round.

Zoltan was the perfect...

Denise_W, Apr 2025
Zoltan was the perfect tour guide. We had simply the best tour!! He was very knowledgeable, funny and personable. We learned so much about not only the history of this beautiful city but also about the Hungarian culture and life today in the city. Our lunch was so special and delicious! Highly recommend this tour and especially this tour guide. We are loving Budapest and are thankful for the opportunity to learn so much!

Doing the Budapest walkabout

Ruben_B, Mar 2025
Great way to see the sights. Zoltan our guide explained in detail the many facets of the city and was a wealth of information. He found us a great restaurant which was a good walking break. He took us to both parts of the city and provided great information on the origins and changes in and of the city in the last 150 years.

A must tour to take!

Jason_B, Oct 2024
Emese, our tour guide made this experience very memorable. Learned so much about the history of Budapest (the good and the not so good), the culture and the people. I had an 84 year old companion who I thought won’t be able to endure the walking and stair climbing, but Emese made it such a way that we take it on our own pace. My pedometer recorded over 5 miles of total walking on and off that day. The weather was perfect (60’s high) used the public transportations (subway, bus) to get us to places that are too far to walk. The Hungarian lunch was good. It was an irony because the night prior, we had our dinner at the same restaurant where we had lunch. I recommend this tour 100% especially for first timers. If you have Emese as your tour guide, it’s a big plus.

Excellent

Sheetal_N, Oct 2024
Easmee was our tour guide and very informative about the history of Budapest and we were very happy with our tour. I would highly recommend her!

Action Packed Day with a FANTASTIC Guide!

Holly_H, Aug 2023
We had a fantastic tour of Budapest and we were lucky enough to be the only ones on this tour! Fanni was our guide all day and she was wonderful. It was like walking around the city, getting a personal tour from our good friend! She took us on and off the Metro and city buses to visit the more distant attractions. We would not have seen everything without her! She even took us to a delicious lunch. She was very easy to talk to and I felt like I’ve known her forever. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you only have a short time in Budapest. You’ll see everything you want to see and more!

Well with it !

Joseph_R, Aug 2023
Great tour! Fanny was the best. She even offered to help if we needed it navigating Budapest after our tour was over! I would give her 6 stars if I could

Best day in Budapest

Michele_D, May 2023
What a great day with Fanny as our guide. We had only one day to see Budapest and she took us everywhere we wanted to go! She even helped us schedule a boat tour on the Danube. Her English was excellent, she showed us pictures, explained history and answered all our questions. We had a lovely lunch with her and our bonus guide, Greg. Conversation flowed easily- we had a perfect day!

Great tour

Michelle_S, Mar 2023
Fanni was wonderful. You could tell that she really enjoys doing these tours, which made it very easy to soak up the history of Hungary. The tour indeed covered all the major highlights in Budapest in just 7 hours, which I didn’t think was possible ❤️Tour is highly recommended.

Amazing tour

Deborah_C, Nov 2022
Emese was an incredible tour guide. I sent a list of places I wanted to see in advance and we were able to see all of them and more. She even took me to amazing buildings and monuments I didn't know existed. She really knows the city and her passion for it and its history shines. She was super knowledgable and very kind. I highly recommend booking her for your Budapest adventure. It was a really helpful way to see the entire city in one day.

Unforgettable Tour

Noura_A, Mar 2022
Loved the entire tour, excellent guid (Odea) she is friendly and informative. I couldn’t image to see all the important landmarks in 7 hours, but she made it true. Hungary is rich in history and she talked about different eras, I really like how explained it with ease and the flow of information. Many thanks to Odea, I highly recommend this tour, specifically with Odea.
