We recommend 3 different ways how you can explore Budapest. Our company provides you a Budapest Card for free.
Guaranted tours
You can join to different tours. They are arranged by different companies. The tours are usually held in two languages. Guaranted means that the bus tour starts at given time irrespective of the number of the guests. It can happen you are sitting on a bus with 50 other guests.
Advantage: You can have a free pick-up from your hotel to the meeting point. The tour is made by a van, minibus or coach.
Disadvantage: The tour has a fixed duration. You have to follow the group. It is not really tailored to your interest.
Private guided walking tours
You can have your own personal guide, who takes care of you.
Advantage: The tour is shaped according to your wishes, in a short time you can hear a lot more up-to-date information about the city then reading a book. This is the best way to discover the city because you see a lot more from real life then from the bus.
Disadvantage: You don’t necessarily meet other travellers. You don’t use van, minibus or coach, but you use other means of transport and you walk.
