What's included in the EUR 180 price?

The package includes a guided walking tour of Buda Castle and its landmarks (Matthias Church, Fisherman's Bastion, Sándor Palace), plus an evening Danube river cruise with drinks.

How much walking is involved?

Expect 2–2.5 hours of walking on steep, uneven medieval cobblestone streets and uphill sections through the castle district. Comfortable, sturdy footwear is essential.

Can I book just the Danube cruise without the castle tour?

This is sold as a combined package. Check with the supplier if individual tour or cruise options are available separately.

What if I'm not interested in alcohol during the cruise?

Drinks are included; inform the tour operator of any preferences or dietary restrictions at check-in to arrange alternatives.

Is this tour suitable for children or elderly travellers?

The steep, uneven terrain of Castle Hill may be challenging for very young children or those with mobility limitations. Elderly or less mobile guests should confirm accessibility with the supplier beforehand.

Will I have time to enter the museums or interiors inside Buda Castle?

This tour focuses on exterior landmarks and the district's streets. Interior museum visits are not typically included; the itinerary prioritizes views and historical context from outside these buildings.
