If you have several days in Budapest and want to explore the surroundings with a private guide just for you, you can book any of our private excursions. These tours last between 9 and 12 hours, include hotel pick-up, transport by private vehicle and an English-speaking guide.
Esztergom, Visegrád and Szentendre (9 hours)
The first stop on this excursion will be to visit the Cathedral of Saint Adalbert in Esztergom, the largest basilica in the entire country. Then it's on to Visegrád, where we'll enjoy spectacular views of the Danube. There you will have free time to explore its historic centre and see its main attractions including the royal palace and medieval fortress. You're sure to have worked up a hunger, so how about a three-course menu while we enjoy magnificent views of the town?!
Then we'll hit the road again, to visit the village of Szentendre, where we will find narrow streets, baroque buildings and a mixture of traditions due to the influence of Serbian, Greek and Bosnian families that lived there during the 15th century. Finally, we will get on a boat for a one-hour cruise down the stunning Danube, taking us back to the centre of Budapest.
Departure: 9 am.
Bratislava Excursion (10 hours)
As soon as we arrive in Bratislava, we'll head to Michael's Gate, a building dating from 1300, and Bratislava Castle, built in the 10th century with four imposing towers. Both symbols of the city!
Then, the tour enters the Grassalkovich Palace, a baroque and rococo building with charming French-inspired gardens. Inside, its rooms are known for their beautiful ornamentation and frescoes by Joseph von Pichler. Then it's on to take in the extravagant exterior of the neoclassical Primate's Palace, followed by a succulent three-course lunch, of course!
Departure: between 8 am and 9 am.
Vienna Excursion (12 hours)
After picking you up at your hotel in Budapest, we will set off for Vienna, where we will take a complete tour of the city. We'll cross the famous Ringstrasse avenue, discovering the Museum of Fine Arts, the Austrian Parliament and the State Opera, among other architectural surprises.
Next, stroll along Kärntner Street to St. Stephen's Cathedral, a Romanesque and Gothic jewel that has become the symbol of the city. Hungry? Good! It's time to enjoy a lunch with a wide variety of Austrian dishes. With renewed energy, in your free time you can go shopping on Mariahilfer Street or admire the Schönbrunn Palace, declared a World Heritage Site.
Departure: between 7 am and 8 am.
