Guided Sisi’s Gödöllő Palace tour from Budapest with included entry, air-conditioned ride, and key Habsburg stories.
“You had one job and didn’t do it. I paid for a tour in English. ALL of the tour in the palace by the guide was in Spanish. We were handed an audio guide and told we were on our own. If I had wanted to do that, we would not have booked a tour. Terrible experience and a waste of time and money.”

“We booked a trip to the castle with pick up at our hotel and drop off at our port on the Danube. What a wonderful day! Gabo was prompt both in pick up and drop off, he was respectful of our needs and very thorough. He knew not only the history of the places we visited, but also great stories. After the castle, he took us through Budapest for a short visit showing us points of interest, knowing we had two tours scheduled off our ship the next day. So we visited spots in the city that we weren’t going to see otherwise. This was truly a great tour. I…”
Private Gödöllő Palace tour from Budapest: A/C pickup, museum and gardens, Sissi stories, and a personal English guide.
“The palace was beautiful. But was extremely disappointed with the tour guide. We paid nearly $300 for a private tour. The tour guide , Mary, did not call prior to the tour to check with us and confirm the time. She was then late showing up for the tour, leaving us worrying if she was going to show up. Mary did not talk on the 40 minute drive to or from the palace. Mary then left us to walk outside to view the gardens for 20 minutes alone. When she began the tour she rushed through tour. If I stopped to look at any exhibit , she would come up…”

“I spent a day in Budapest, and this was the highlight of my trip. I don’t speak Magyar (Hungarian), and get very confused navigating public transport in countries where I don’t speak the language. This activity required no thinking on my end. Szabolcs picked me up right on time at the location I chose. He then transported me in a very comfortable vehicle to the palace. Along the way, he was very receptive to my multitude of questions about Hungarian history and culture. He is passionate about Hungary and was only too enthusiastic to teach me more about Budapest. The palace of Godollo was beautiful. I was expecting it to…”
Private half-day tour from Budapest to the Royal Palace of Gödöllő, with hotel pickup, an expert guide, and time for gardens and café.
“We greatly appreciated our guide Gregory. He made the experience enjoyable as he shared his vast knowledge of Budapest, the Royal family and especially Sisi’s relationship with Hungary. We highly recommend Viator’s relaxing 1/2 day trip from Budapest to Godollo Palace.”
Sisi’s Royal Palace Tour in Gödöllő from Budapest: hotel pickup, private transport, palace admission, audio guide, and cake at the café.
“A lovely short trip. The palace is a bout half an hour drive from Budapest center. Our driver was very courteous and arrived on time. Your driver will drop you at the entrance of the palace and purchase the tickets for you. Then you can take audio-guided tour through the palace. It was surprisingly a nice walkthrough with lots of history, not only focused on Sisi but also on previous owners of the palace and the Hapsburgs in general.”
