Half day in Budapest with a local
Half day in Budapest with a local

What you'll do

Make the most out of your adventure in Budapest and spend it with a local Budapest host - who knows and loves their lively city. The game-changer is that this personalized experience will feel like you are spending time with a close friend, exploring grand palaces, ancient districts, leafy boulevards, delightful cafés, quirky ruin bars, unique shops, or all of the above.

And while you may not be able to see the entire city in just a few hours, you will still get an authentic, engaging, and lasting impression - and more than a few recommendations on how to spend the rest of your trip.

You could spend time discovering the breath-taking sights of Buda Castle or the neo-gothic Fisherman’s Bastion along the banks of the River Danube, or get lost among pop-up markets, try sweet treats in traditional bakeries in the Jewish Quarter or check out a ruin bar - they’re just as cool during the day.

This is your time and the ball is in your court so tell us what you’re into and we’ll do our best to make it happen.

    Hi Richard It has been a true pleasure having the walking tour with you a few days ago. We learnt alot and your explanation of how to get around both cities has helped us see a great deal more than we thought we would. Again you were magnificent and a true pleasure to be with on the day. Even the rain could not dampen the experience. Kindest Regards Connie Colosimo

    We loved our tour with Agnes with City Unscripted in Budapest. It may have been our favorite day of our trip. The customization and one-on-one treatment made it so fun and allowed us to learn and explore more than we would've ever been able to in a larger group. Would definitely recommend!

    Denes provided a perfect tour for me and three friends. We only had half a day to explore and Denes proved extremely useful. He carefully considered our interests and came up with a very detailed useful and enjoyable route. His English was perfect and his knowledge extremely thorough. We would certainly recommend and wouldn't have seen half of the wonders that Budapest has to offer if it wasn't for Denes. Many thanks to all - we had a thoroughly enjoyable trip. Kind regards Kate
