What To Expect
Fisherman's Bastion
The Halászbástya or Fisherman's Bastion is one of the best known monuments in Budapest, located in the Buda Castle, in the 1st district of Budapest. It is one of the most important tourist attractions due to the unique panorama of Budapest from the Neo-Romanesque lookout terraces.
Buda Castle
Buda Castle (Hungarian: Budavári Palota, German: Burgpalast) is the historical castle and palace complex of the Hungarian kings in Budapest. It was first completed in 1265, but the massive Baroque palace today occupying most of the site was built between 1749 and 1769.

Couldn’t Ask for a Better Tour or Guide

5.00Karoly was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about the city and its history. We wanted to see a few sites that were not on the original agenda. He was completely accommodating. He also suggested we might be interested in some Roman ruins. Hadn’t run across that in any of the on-line things to do. Plus to get here we got to take trams and the metro as an added plus. All in all a great day and a great guide!
A must do in Budapest

5.00This by far was the best tour we booked! I was expecting the generic touristy type of tour but Ferenc made the tour so special. From his deep historical knowledge to incorporating it into how it shaped their culture and even political views today! My husband and I heavily recommend this tour to anyone. And the coffee and cake location was on the tourist trail, but it was definitely charming and authentic. If you book this tour, I recommend asking for Ferenc. Honestly just the highlight of our vacation!
Great Introduction to The Danube

5.00Not sure if others cancelled but my husband & I had our guide all to ourselves! We saw all the key locations on castle hill and our guide explained everything to a T. It was a long time ago (May 2018) and I can’t remember our guide’s name. But she was outstanding. It was a great introduction to Budapest and a great pre-cruise day!
Impressive

5.00We had an excellent tour with Ferenc. In addition to showing us the sights in the castle district, his knowledge of Hungarian history and the background he provided on the area enhanced our overall experience. We highly recommend this tour.
Great tour, excellent guide.

5.00Karoly was an excellent guide. He was extremely well informed and gave us a fantastic tour. It’s well worth using a guide as you get so much more out of your visit. He gave us good tips for places to see and eat during our weekend.
