Cover Budapest’s major sights in four hours with a live guide, air-conditioned bus, Castle Hill walk, and one-hour Danube cruise. You’ll pass Parliament, visit Fisherman’s Bastion and Matthias Church, stop at Gellért Hill and Heroes’ Square, and cruise past the city’s finest riverfront views. Guides may speak English, German, French, Italian, or Spanish.

“Tour felt very rushed with very little time to take photos. Too much time spent walking looking at building work in progress. Including the Shoes on the Danube would have been better than wasting time in the square.”
