“I booked transportation four of us from airport to hotel. It was very easy to do online and what I really appreciated is the communication from Viator explaining everything and keeping in contact as the pick up date was approaching. I have never booked a tour through them, but if this experience is an example, they will be the first I call for sure. Thank you for a great experience.”

“My wife and I recently took a private, 1/2 day tour of Budapest with Akos. The first thing, he was on time and arrived in a very comfortable BMW. In fact he came early. He then took us on an interesting tour of all the significant sites on both Buda and Pest. In very short order we were impressed with the breadth of his knowledge, simply the amount of information that he retained. He was also very familiar with all the local restaurants and places to shop. He introduced us to a cafe which was famous for “langos” - it was delicious! We were extremely happy that he was our…”

Cruise Budapest in a vintage Russian jeep with pickup, warm drinks, and tight photo stops at the Opera, Heroes’ Square, Market Hall, and more.
“The trip is in an open top jeep. The open top allows for good photos, but the trip was also excellent because of Bence. He was very enthusiastic, provided cold drinks, and had lots of historical information about Budapest. Good opportunities for walking and visiting sites, and certainly much better than walking to the places we visited and drew lots of glances with the jeep. Would highly recommend this activity in Budapest to visit a good number of worthwhile locations. And the jeeps air conditioned 👍”

“What an amazing experience! Best decision we could have ever made. Our Guide was so very knowledgeable about Budapest’s history, culture, cuisine, local treasures and night life. It was like hanging out with one of your best friends who has all the cool connections. We first were asked what we would like to do and from there he made it happen as well as provide suggestions on things that we didn’t know we needed until we experienced them. For example: Not a huge fan of strudel but was introduced to the art of making strudel up close and personal. It was truly a labor of love watching the thin layer…”
Private Budapest food tour with 6 or 10 tastings, local tips, Market Hall classics, and synagogue culture. Walk at your pace.
“Absolutely fantastic way to experience the culinary delights of Budapest! We arrived early at the Great Market Hall where we met Dalma (so we could explore it a bit). When Dalma arrived we got to try an herbal liquor, several types of sausages, Hungarian cottage cheese, goose liver pare, smoked Gouda, some different breads, plum marmalade and some pastry THEN we left the market and went to try langosh. Dalma taught us a lot about the culinary background of the Hungarian people mixed in with some of the country's history. Very interesting and informative. I highly recommend!”

“I had such a great time on the Segway tour in Budapest! It was a really fun and effortless way to explore the city — we saw so many iconic sights, especially by the riverside, without feeling rushed or tired. A special thank you to our guide, Hose, who was absolutely wonderful. He’s originally from Peru, and brought such warmth and energy to the tour. He was knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole experience feel both safe and engaging. His stories and humour added a personal touch that made the day even more memorable. I would highly recommend this Segway tour to anyone visiting Budapest — and if you’re lucky…”
