We had a great time. Our guide Kopp was amazing. He was very well versed in the subject matter, had infectious energy and humour, and took the time to answer individual questions in plenty of detail. He clearly loves what he does and it showed all through the tour. An absolute must-do tour

Full description

Join a walking tour of the Buda Castle District in English and uncover 800 years of fascinating history. Hear interesting stories, marvel at breathtaking views, and visit the opulent St. Stephen's Hall, all in the company of a knowledgeable guide.

Head to the meeting point and get ready to discover one of the main symbols of the city of Budapest. Wander through the Castle's outdoor courts, see statues and fountains, and admire panoramic views of the city below.

Listen as your guide takes you on a journey through the past, from the Golden Age to the siege of Budapest during the Second World War. Learn about the communist era that followed and find out how the Palace was restored.
