What to expect

Tick off Budapest's most famous sights today – like its oldest hotel, a fortress, a castle and a synagogue. This excursion is three and a half hours long. It begins with a coach ride through the city, ending at Castle Hill. This rather romantic district is crammed with museums, cute-as-a-button churches and teensy cafés. Discover all of it on a guided walking tour, before heading to the famous citadel. This 19th-century fortress has one of the best views over the city. From here, you can see Parliament, Budapest Castle and all eight bridges that span the river – so don't forget the camera. You'll return to your ship from here. Just so you know, there are around 150 steps to reach Budapest Castle.

    The local guide was the biggest thing that made this tour so enjoyable and value for money. Mike was friendly, very knowledgeable and gave excellent commentary on the bus and more importantly whilst walking around. As he lives in the area himself he gave us loads of facts and information and pointed out things we would never have seen or noticed. He also adapted the tour where appropriate to make the most of our time, liaising with the driver to avoid traffic and drop off/pick up.

    Great tour. We saw areas we would not have found on our own and had a good overview of Budepest. The guide was really good and was very knowledgeable.

    Edith was local to Budapest and had a wonderful knowledge of the city as it is now and how it was under communist control, told with her gentle sense of humour. We particularly enjoyed going to the Buda castle and looking out over the city and going to the beautiful Heroes square. The Vajdahunyad castle and buildings near the ice rink were stunning.
