Guided Tours in Budapest

and suggestions for trips out of town

Budapest is often called "Pearl of the Danube" or "Paris of the East" but it is one of the most marvellous cities in the world indeed. Make sure it is!

As your personal guide I would like to share my love for the city with you.
Experience the beauties of Budapest on a private sightseeing tour with me!

Enjoy your most individual guided tour and see the most beautiful sights of Budapest like the Houses of Parliament, Heroes' Square, the Basilica, Matthias Church, Fishermen's Bastion and the Citadel.

Below are two of the the sights we wouldn't miss during the private sightseeing tour in Budapest:


	Do you know, that Chain Bridge is the sign of Budapest? It was built 150 years ago and is not only the oldest but the shortest and narrowest bridge between Pest and Buda. You can walk over in some minutes and climb the Castle Hill to enjoy some romantic hours in the baroque town of Buda. Chain Bridge looks very nice floodlit at night, doesn't it?
	Can you imagine, that you can hardly decide what to see first on Heroes' Square? Statues of great Hungarians? Paintings of famous Spanish masters? Restaurant Gundel? Vajdahunyad Castle? You can spend here and in the neighbouring City Park even a whole day - the open-air Szechenyi thermal baths included.

As an introduction I suggest you making a little tour in Budapest with Enric Corbero

Below you can see some different tours that I suggest you experience.
Of course, these can always be amended to suit your needs.
