Private tours with a guide

The difference between a drive and a tour is a person who can answer the second question. A licensed guide travels in the car, walks in at every stop, and does the talking in your own language.

How it works.

  1. 01

    Tell us the language and the interest

    Architecture, the Jewish quarter, 1956, the coffee houses, the thermal baths. The guide is chosen for the subject as much as for the language.

  2. 02

    The guide is in the car from the start

    The commentary begins as soon as the car pulls away, not when you arrive somewhere.

  3. 03

    Inside as well as outside

    The guide comes into the Basilica, the Opera, the market hall. Where a ticket is needed we will say so in advance and book it.

  4. 04

    The day can go beyond the city

    The same guide and the same car will do Szentendre, the Danube Bend or a cellar at Etyek as a full day instead of a half.

Choose the car.

A fixed price for 4 hours: the vehicle and driver, plus the guide’s fee of €120. Entry tickets are extra and charged at cost.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class

The car most journeys are driven in. Quiet, unremarkable from the outside, comfortable in the back.

The guide takes the front seat, which leaves two seats in the back.

  • Parking and waiting at every stop

Worth knowing.

  • Guides in French, Italian, Spanish and Russian are fewer, and those days want booking a week ahead. English and German are usually available at short notice.
  • Entry tickets are charged at cost on top of the tour price, and some, Parliament in particular, sell out well in advance.
  • Hours beyond the first 4 are charged at the chauffeur rate for the vehicle, with the guide’s time added.
