Overview

At the desired time, an experienced English-speaking professional driver will pick you up from your accommodation in a private vehicle ready to share historical facts and, of course, immerse you into the Hungarian lifestyle.

Budapest, the capital city of Hungary, and a UNESCO world heritage site. On this Day Trip, visit its lively center, pretty parks, majestic river, tall church spires, and lavish spas. As one of the most exciting cities in the world, Budapest offers plenty of hidden spots to explore and old favorites to revisit. Must-see landmarks are the Hungarian Parliament, State Opera House, the St. Stephens Basilica and of course the magnificent Chain Bridge along with the Central Market Hall.

Our drivers are not licensed to accompany you into the sights but are very knowledgeable of the places visited and will provide all the necessary historical information and their local perspective.

At the end of the ride, your friendly driver will drop you off at your accommodation.
