More than the major attractions

Several of the most spellbinding attractions in Budapest are ones your guidebook doesn’t even know about. It’s easy to spend weeks in the Hungarian capital caught in a seemingly endless tourist trap of must-see sights – but with private tour guides in Budapest, you can find the lesser-known landmarks only locals know about. You won’t be limited to the top sights on our Budapest tours by locals. A private guide in Budapest knows exactly where to go for the city’s finest food, its most exciting entertainment, and the hidden haunts down narrow streets no traveler could find alone.
