Budapest Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Great, informative tour. Panna was a fantastic guide.

An incredible and detailed tour of the Pest side of the city. There were many hidden gems as the tour promised! Great history and insight from our guide, Anita. Stopping for a coffee and strudel during the tour was an extra bonus!

This evening river cruise did not disappoint. We went just at sunset so we got the colorful sky and then shortly after starting all the lights came on! It was a beautiful 1 hr. Cruise and the welcome drink was a nice touch. Boats ran on time and staff was organized and helpful. The audio guide was informative, but hard to hear up top when competing with the party boats also on the river. I would definitely recommend the cruise to s friend!

Excellent way to get a handle on Budapest for first-timers. We visited key inner city locations on an easy three hour walk, got a handle on history and getting around, and had a wonderful guide in Andrea who was helpful, honest about the country’s tough, fascinating history, and funny to boot. Recommended.

Cynthia is an excellent your guide. Loud clear voice. Engaging and informative. I learned a lot about Hungary and Budapest on this tour. She handled the delicate issue of the shoes memorial with great sensitivity

Had a great time, all the staff onboard really helpful and nice and quick at refilling your glass with prosecco etc...

Amazing tour by Claudia, very well planned and great explanation

My wife and I really enjoyed the experience. We met other guests which made the excursion more enjoyable. The only issue was that the location which I was given by Cool Destinations and opened in "Maps" was not the location of the dock. We had to walk about 60 meters to where our boat was docked. Be aware as we were not the only guests who went to the incorrect location. When you board the boat, staff give you a glass with Prosecco in it. If you don't want the Prosecco, just go to the bar and they will dump it and provide you with another drink. You reuse your glass for the entire excursion unless you're drinking beer.

Lovely river cruise with complimentary drink, leisurely speed up and down the Danube. Lovely well kept boat. Perfect.

Really enjoyable and relaxing trip in the Danube. Good service, excellent value and a great chance to see the site from the river.

Very relaxing experience with good food and good music. No candles just battery ones incase your worried

Very good tour that I enjoyed a lot

Mark was a fantastic guide. It was a very good historical moment and back in time.

8:20 is a good time to take (if you can get it) Also, get to the dock as early as you can to line up when boarding. Try to sit at the front of the boat for best viewing. Its a smooth as silk boat ride

Fabulous tour and class!! Sonya was an informative guide and took us on a great journey through the food market and taught us about Hungarian culture and food. Lots of food to sample and lots of wine. Highly recommend!

Phil been outstanding and bars are fire
