13 reviewed
An hour out of Budapest the traffic stops and the Great Plain begins. These 13 days out reach the horse herders of the puszta, the royal palace at Gödöllő, and the vineyards at Etyek: what each one includes, how much of the day is spent in the minibus, and whether lunch and tastings are part of the price.

Half-day tour from Budapest to Etyek-Buda wine country, tastings at family cellars, and Hungarian lunch or dinner, with pickup.

Guided Etyek wine tour from Budapest with family cellar tastings, a rustic 3-course farm meal, and easy round-trip minibus pickup.
“My wife and I had a wonderful time. Juliana was a wonderful guide and the trip to the Etyek valley was just beautiful. 3 different wineries certainly gave us a wide exposure to Hungarian wines. Well worth your time.”
Gödöllő’s baroque palace ticket: tour Empress Sisi and Franz Joseph apartments, the park, and the palace’s secret life, 1 day.
“Foi só comprar, pagar e obter os bilhetes. E depois aproveitar a visita. Local recomendado. Lindo!”
A 1-hour Danube panorama cruise with free Tokaj Frizzante, heated comfort, and a phone audio guide to Budapest’s top sights.
“Tour was well organised, on time and we saw all the sights we expected to see on an evening cruise. Staff were very pleasant and friendly. Only thing that surprised us was that we had expected a commentary. Perhaps we should have read the information more clearly but something for other travellers to note. Appreciate it’s difficult when there are potentially a number of nationalities on the trip. I chose this trip as it was one of the smaller boats and we found seats on the upper deck without issue.”
Budapest Danube paddle steamer cruise with heated cabin, blankets, Tokaj welcome drink, and 30-language audio guide. Relax 1 hour.
“Wonderful cruise. Our kids loved the experience. Highly recommend for a short but sweet River cruise.”
Full-day coach tour from Budapest to Kecskemét and Lajosmizse. Pálinka, carriage ride, horse show, and a 3-course lunch with wine.
“It was a fun trip with plenty of traditional food for everyone and great entertainment at the horse show. Unfortunately, the lead guide made it difficult for those of us with the English speaking guide as she was speaking Spanish and Italian over a microphone on the bus. Whenever the English speaking guide was speaking to, she would speak over her with the microphone. Regardless, it was a really fun trip. A great way to get out of the city and see some of the countryside. The farm was fabulous and the show was fun!”
Gödöllő Royal Palace is a 3-hour Budapest trip. Tour Sissi-linked Baroque rooms, explore 26-hectare gardens, then unwind on the grounds.
“the guide Matthias was great and provided the history of the palace and it's use while we were on the way, as well as the informative walk-through of each room that was open. it would have been nice to have slightly more freetime after the tour for visiting the other exhibit, a cafe stop, and a less rushed wander through the park.”
From Budapest to Gödöllő Palace of Queen Elizabeth: guided rooms and Royal Garden walk, plus a 19th-century café break option.
“Visite trop courte et jardins du château à l abandon. Pas de guide français disponible mais contents tout de même de cette visite”
A full day from Budapest to the Hungarian Plains for a live horse show, carriage ride, Palinka aperitif, and a hearty lunch in the Puszta.
“it was nice to see a different side to budapest. the little town was pretty and the farm/horse ranch was ok. The meal provided was good and plentyful. on a downside for me there was one small muel who was tied to a post with a full harness on attached to a cart in the full sun for at least two hours. when I asked one of the guys if he could be moved round he just laughed at me. this spoiled the experience for me but I guess to them he was of little value.”
Half-day Sisi tour to Gödöllő Palace from Budapest with skip-the-line entry, baroque interiors, and park time by bus.
“Had difficulty finding the meeting place. Viator guides do not have flags or identification. The palace was lovely and the guide was knowledgeable. The bus ride into the country was about 45 min.”
Tour Sisi’s Gödöllő Palace from Budapest with entrance fees included, guided history, and round-trip transport in about 3 hours.
“Wonderful woman with good sense of humour as a guide! Too much tourist groups in the palace at the same time in the same rooms, but it's the problem of the palace and their staff- bad organisation!”
