Private Family Friendly Walking Tour in Budapest (opens in a new tab)

19 2 h 15 min

Please read EVERYTHING before booking! As a father, I know that nothing beats seeing your little one(s) excited and curious about things to discover around town. This is exactly what this tour is about: fun, excitement, and discoveries. With this booking you also start a discussion and will be able to provide your full input in order to get a tour customized to your desires. Because the city is quite big, we will focus on either the Castle District OR City Park (not both!), whichever is more to your liking. The two are quite different areas, but combining them would be tough, that is also why the length of the tour is around 2 hours. This, I found, is exactly optimal for families. Hope to see you soon and enjoy Budapest!
