What's included in the price?

The EUR 450 starting price covers private guide service for 7 hours, visits to all major Budapest landmarks, transport to Etyek wine region, 3-hour wine tasting with multiple Hungarian wines (including organic options), and a traditional lunch.

How much walking is involved?

Expect moderate to substantial walking, particularly when visiting Fisherman's Bastion, Gellért Hill, and St. Stephen's Basilica. The wine-tasting portion in Etyek is less strenuous, though cellar visits may involve some stairs.

Can I request specific landmarks or skip any?

As a private tour, itineraries are customisable. Discuss your priorities with the operator when booking—you can request longer stops at particular sites or skip attractions you're less interested in.

Is this suitable for wine beginners?

Yes. The Etyek portion is designed as a tasting experience with guidance from local producers, so no prior wine knowledge is needed. Your guide will explain Hungarian wine styles and production methods.

What time does the tour start and end?

The 7-hour duration typically begins in early morning (often 8–9 AM) to maximise daylight for sightseeing before the wine-tasting segment. Confirm exact start time with your operator when booking.

Are there accessibility options for people with mobility issues?

Many landmarks involve stairs and uphill terrain (especially Gellért Hill and Fisherman's Bastion). Discuss any mobility concerns with the operator beforehand—they may suggest modified itineraries focusing on accessible sites like Parliament exterior and the Castle area.
