What's included in the price?

A 4-hour private guided city tour covering major landmarks (St Stephen's Basilica, Heroes' Square, Buda Castle, Fisherman's Bastion, Gellért Hill) plus skip-the-line entry to Széchenyi Spa for 2–3 hours of self-guided thermal bathing. Professional guide is included; meals, spa rentals (towel, locker), and gratuities are not.

Do I need to bring anything to the spa?

Bring swimwear, flip-flops, and toiletries. Towels and lockers are available for rent on-site if you prefer not to carry them. Waterproof bags or dry bags are recommended to protect valuables while swimming.

Is the private tour customisable?

Yes, this is a private tour, so you can discuss pace, route adjustments, and special interests with your guide. Confirm any preferences when booking.

How crowded is Széchenyi Spa?

Széchenyi is popular year-round, but mornings and weekdays are quieter than afternoons and weekends. Your skip-the-line pass speeds entry, but pools themselves can still be busy during peak hours.

Can I leave the spa and return, or do I need to stay the full time?

Typically, your entry pass covers a set duration (2–3 hours as stated). Confirm re-entry policy with the operator when booking; most thermal spas allow it, but procedures vary.

Is this tour suitable for families with young children?

Yes—the private nature allows flexible pacing for kids, and Széchenyi has dedicated shallow pools for children. However, the city tour involves some walking and stairs; confirm mobility requirements with the operator.

Is okay only. the hot pool looking out over the valley was nice but feel rush, and Fatima the therapist hard to hear sometimes. The spa day in Crete was more better.
