A 5-hour Budapest ruin bar crawl with games, VIP club entry, digital photos, and 6+ free shots, plus an optional 1-hour open bar.
“First time on a pubcrawl event and I’m regretting not doing it sooner! Visited 4 pubs total and ended up to the club and our tour guide Zinnia did not disappoint! Approachable, fun and part of the game too! The games are unforgettable (at least for me 😂) and what I’d love to see in the future as an addition in the “guess the drink” game would be some kind of “punishment” for the wrong guess Zizi, takes notes✨👀 The pubs were amazing, especially the underground bunkers one that seemed like an endless labyrinth! Probably the best night I had in Budapest and I wish I can experience it again…”
See the Hungarian State Opera House restored in 2022, learn its 1884 story, and finish with a short live concert on a 60-minute tour.
“Wonderful, The Opera Performance Was A Plus That I Definitely Enjoyed.”

Crawl Hungary’s longest cave system beneath Budapest on a 3-hour guided adventure in Danube-Ipoly National Park with helmets and overalls.
“It was amazing! I was a little nervous at first since I hadn’t done anything like this before and wasn’t sure if I would feel claustrophobic at all. As soon as we were in the cave, all my nervousness went away! I had so much fun crawling and climbing around the caves, I would definitely do this again if I come back to Budapest.”

Segway through Budapest highlights with a live guide, training, and photo stops, gliding from Buda landmarks to Danube views.
“We had a great time with Ayman! He was very patient and took his time to make sure everyone was properly trained prior to the tour. He assured everyone felt comfortable to safely operate the Segway. While leading the group, he maintained a steady pace to assure the group stayed together and adjusted speed according to the comfort of the group. Ayman provided lots of historical facts along the way with every stop. Even with a singular rambunctious guest getting off course, Ayman remained patient and assured this guest as well as the rest of the group remained safe. Would highly recommend this tour especially with Ayman!”

“I'm so glad we booked this experience. More than just a cooking class we got a tour and history of Central Market plus just enough history and geography of Hungary. Our host Ben did a great job making everyone at ease and ensuring everyone got to participate. We bought all the ingredients for chicken paprikash and he explained a lot about paprika and the products for sale in the market. The dish, the chicken and the noodles, was simple enough to reproduce at home but wonderfully tasty. We also had a sampling of sausages, cheeses and pickled foods and wine to snack on before and during cooking. We ended right…”
