“Brilliant. Tamas was fantastic - charming, articulate, funny, knowledgeable and engaging. He clearly loves his city and that feeling is passed to the group. The wine and strudel tasting was a great treat. We only had a day to see Budapest and he covered a huge variety of information - made our day and we will definitely return and hire him again for one of the private tours - worth every penny and then some!”

2.Budapest Christmas Market Tour with Basilica visit & Chimney cake

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 18 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $140Top rated

Budapest Christmas Market tour with St. Stephen’s Basilica video show, three markets, chimney cake and mulled wine, plus a Danube night walk.

“My guide was great. I was the only person and honestly if you know where to look you can explore the different markets on your own though this tour also includes a tour of st Stephen’s basilica as there is a large market nearby. That alone is worthwhile addition. Learned about the local traditions and the town. Exploring at night is a must do. Sampled chimney cake - knowing where to go is key and other treats.”
