Private Budapest Tours
Private sightseeing and themed tours in English or Russian — on foot or by car
Budapest is a city like no other in Europe — a little like Vienna, a little like Paris, and entirely its own. It is the capital of a nation that arrived from the steppes more than a thousand years ago, and every district tells part of that story.
On a private tour you see it at your own pace, with a local guide who answers every question and shares the places, food and tips you won’t find in guidebooks. Tours run in English or Russian, start when it suits you, and can begin with a hotel pickup.

Frequently asked questions
How long is a Budapest tour?
Roughly: the sightseeing tour by car takes about 3.5 hours, and the walking tours of Pest, the Buda Castle District and Jewish Budapest about 3–3.5 hours. But I focus on what you want to see rather than on the clock — we can slow down or speed up to suit you.
Is the price per person?
No — prices are per group. The sightseeing tour by car is €210 for 1–2 people and €240 for 3–4 people.
I only have one day — which tour should I choose?
The sightseeing tour of the city by car plus a walk through the Buda Castle District, with a break for lunch or coffee in between. You can end the day with a Hungarian wine tasting in our cellar.
Can we bring children?
Of course. We don’t run special children’s tours, but we are fully patient with kids: we take breaks and adapt the pace and the stories.
Can I combine a tour with a wine tasting?
Yes — tastings run Thursday to Saturday at 2 pm and 4 pm in our cellar in District VII, an easy end to the day.
