Danube Bend day trip from Budapest: guided walks in Visegrád, Esztergom and Szentendre, plus seasonal boat ride for river views.
“It was a chilled day out to Danube bend and Szantendre. Lots of photo opportunities and had a good lunch. Our guide Eshtevan and guide Zsolt was very kind and helpful. I also enjoyed going to the marzipan museum”
Guided Danube Bend day trip from Budapest with Esztergom, a viewpoint stop in Slovakia, Visegrád Castle, Szentendre, plus a seasonal boat ride back.
“The guide was rude from the start. Had zero desire to answer any basic questions. We didn't even get her name. She had no empathy for my father who was slower because he uses a cane. They did no preplanning around getting out of the city, even though the bike race had been scheduled for months so they should've known about that. They advertised going to the church, but the entire inside was filled with scaffolding for the last two years and they didn't tell us that. At the first stop she didn't even wait for my family to get up to the line to get entrance so we had…”
Small-group hike from Dömös with Danube Bend views, canyon ladders, hotel pickup, and snacks. English guide, lunch not included.
“About 1 hour from Budapest. They offer pick ups and drop offs at many hotels. Our original guide could not make it so Attila was our guide. He spoke English well. Took us on a challenging but rewarding full day hike through Ipoli National Park. We started from Dobogoko to Predikaloszek Peak where you can have a beautiful view of the Bend of the Danube. He then took us down Vallido Rock/Cliff ( prob best to go UP the cliff rather than down the cliff— not for those with fear of height). Followed by Ram Ravine Gorge which was so much fun. There are a few metal and wood ladders…”
Guided day hike from Budapest through volcanic Visegrád Hills, Danube Bend ridgeline views, and Ram gorge waterfall climbs.
“One of the best experiences I have ever had! Attila is one of the best guides anyone could ever ask for. He took me on an epic hike seeing everything that the forest of Hungary had to offer, as well as an insightful glimpse into the history at the Visegrád Castle. I really appreciated his patience during the hike, there were definitely some steep parts to it, but overall, well worth it for the view overlooking the Danube river bend. If you get a chance to do this during your time in Hungary, please do. Truly one of the best experiences ever! Suitable for any nature lover, hiker enthusiast -…”
A 12-hour Vienna to Budapest day trip with hotel pickup, countryside drive, and guided stops like Parliament, Opera, and more.
“Todo me gustó: puntualidad, amabilidad y servicio. Peter el conductor amable, puntual. La guía Sofía excelente en todo: historia, lugares de interés, recomendaciones para mejores fotografías, agradable. Vimos los más importante y lo mejor de Budapest, conocimos su historia. Puntualidad en los trasladados, salida y llegada al hotel. Incluiría una guía en español.”
24-hour Budapest bike rental with Gepida 21-speed trekking bikes, included lights and lock, and a self-guided route idea to Castle Hill.
“We recently de to city park from buda. Traffic was crazy! Dangerous when using bike lanes. You need nerves of steel if you are not a local!”
Szentendre day trip from Budapest by train, with a guided art and history walk, street food tasting, and time for crafts and shopping.
“Nice day with Bolasz at a leisurely pace to a beautiful village- enjoyed the sights, history and food”
Rent a bike for 8 hours in central Budapest, get a helmet and lock, then pedal at your pace with tips and a Szentendre option.
“The bikes we were given were not suitable for the excursion to Szentendre. They braked even downhill, they did not work properly, the wheels rubbed and the sprockets were not greased, we managed to get there with a lot of effort but we had to return by train. The guy who was in the shop on Sunday did not tell us anything about the bikes not being suitable and when we returned he said yes to everything as if we were stupid, indicating that we should have changed gears. Very poor service. The 3 bikes were the same, they were cheap but they are only good for walking around the…”
Private day trip from Budapest to Bratislava with door to door pickup, an English guide, St. Martin Cathedral ticket, and old-town sights.
“Tour guide explained the history of the old walls of the city. The guide knew the history of the country and city very well .”
Every kind of day out in the city, and the best of each.
