Select participants and date
You slide into an air‑conditioned minivan and the city unfolds like a map coming to life: the Danube cutting a cool, decisive line through stone and copper roofs; Parliament’s spires prick the skyline; Gellért Hill watches with an old, mossy patience. For four hours a local guide pilots you through Buda and Pest, stopping where the story is sharpest — the castle’s medieval terraces, the onion domes of churches, and the frenetic color of the Central Market Hall.

Adventure Tips
Book an early slot
Morning departures reduce traffic and give you softer, cleaner light for river and Parliament photos.
Wear comfortable shoes
Expect short walks on uneven cobblestones in the Castle District and around viewpoints — sturdy footwear matters.
Customize your route
This private tour is flexible — tell the guide interests (history, architecture, baths) before pickup to prioritize stops.
Carry small change
Bring cash for quick purchases at market stalls, street vendors, or tips for the guide — card machines are common but not universal.
