Budapest Danube dinner cruise with live Hungarian folk music and dance, buffet dinner, and sparkling Parliament and Buda Castle views.
“I booked the 3 course dinner, which on the description said vegan option was available, and discarded the buffet option exacly due to that. When it felt like dinner should start to be served, I had to ask two waiters (the first one had no idea what I was talking about) that informed me that was no vegan 3 course dinner (or non vegan whatsoever) and took me to the buffet to certify me about what could be vegan. He was very helpful. However we felt that it was an expensive experience, due to this buffet situation.”

“This was probably the best hop on hop off bus trip I've ever done. Maybe because it was cold and I'd walked miles beforehand. Went round once without getting off then once I knew where I wanted to go I went round again. free walking tour was great, applause to guide! Got discount on river cruise which was just amazing and sun came out. would highly recommend”
A 70-minute daytime Danube cruise in Budapest with panoramic views, a multilingual audio guide, free Wi-Fi, and an included drink.
“Very good, very clean boat and very polite crew and the beer was just what was needed”
Visit the Hungarian Parliament with a multilingual audio guide, plus an orientation walk around Kossuth Square and its monuments.
“The tour itself takes 45 minutes. You meet the guide outside the entrance and they get your tickets, explain about going through security, etc. Then you are given headsets where you can pick your language. There is a WC right before you enter. Since I picked the day the taxis were on strike and had already walked a lot (!) there was an elevator to take me up the 4 floors. I was able to walk down just fine. The guides themselves were very kind! While the tour is fairly short the history and building are amazing. As an older, solo traveler, I was pleased I had chosen this!”
A 2-hour night walk in Budapest’s Buda Castle district with a Gothic-costumed guide, vampire myths, and big views for $23.
“A very fun, informative and great experience for anyone to go through. We felt extremly immersed and had a great tour of the entire hill from Buda castle to the church, ending at the fishermans bastion with a great view of the parlament right before the lights were turned off. Would highly recommend!”
