What's included in the EUR 390 price?

The tour includes 7 hours of private guide services, transportation by minivan/bus, a multi-course lunch, and wine tasting with a sommelier. Entrance tickets to monuments and museums (Fisherman's Bastion, Matthias Church, etc.) are separate.

Is this suitable for cruise passengers with limited time?

Yes—this is marketed as a shore excursion and fits a typical 7–8 hour port window. Confirm your ship's departure time with the supplier at booking to ensure comfortable return buffer.

How much walking is involved?

Expect 3–4 hours of walking across uneven cobblestones, steep hills (Gellért, Castle District), and Szentendre's narrow streets. The itinerary includes bus/minivan transfers between major zones, so walking is broken into manageable segments.

Can I customise the tour or skip certain sights?

Yes—private tours are flexible. Discuss your interests and any sites you wish to skip or add more time to with your guide before departure or at pickup.

What type of wine will we taste, and how much?

An expert sommelier leads the tasting as part of lunch; expect 3–4 pours of Hungarian wine varieties (typically red and white regional selections). The exact wines vary by season and availability.

Are there age restrictions for the wine tasting?

Wine tasting is included for adults; minors will receive an alternative beverage. Confirm your group composition at booking if under-18s are part of your party.
