1.Hiking in Budapest

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 185 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $72Our pick

A small-group hike in Budapest’s Buda Hills with forest trails, story-filled stops, and big city views. English guide. Max 10.

“This was an outstanding experience -- highly recommended. Laszlo was a phenomenal guide: his English is excellent, he's very personable, and has a wealth of knowledge about the area's flora and fauna and history.

Escape Budapest for an 8-hour guided hike from Dömös, with hotel pickup, snacks, water, and Danube-bend views in a small group.

“I had one of the most memorable day of my life. This was my first proper hiking experience and there was rain in the morning which made me more anxious. On top of that I came with a road running shoe! But our guide Attila (the Hun!) made it all look easy and we decided to go ahead with the plan. It stopped raining by the time we started the hike. Attila was very helpful and down to earth and with another hiking friend from Netherlands, we made the first steep climb without much issues. The view of Danube bend was awesome and we had some snacks there. Attila shared…”

Gyuri is a competent guide, who will make sure you know how to get through the challenging parts safe and sound. He is patient and makes sure you can do the climb at your own pace. He knows a lot about the surrounding nature and animals and gladly elaborates if there’s any questions. Would absolutely do it again.”
