A 3-hour private tour of Budapest's big sights and lesser-known corners, with skip-the-line entry to St Stephen's Basilica and homemade strudel at the Strudel House.
This private tour mixes Budapest's headline landmarks with places most visitors walk straight past. Your licensed guide starts at the Chain Bridge, the city's first permanent link between Buda and Pest, then continues to the Shoes on the Danube Bank memorial and around the Hungarian Parliament. You explore the hidden details of Liberty Square, step inside the Art Nouveau Gresham Palace, and get skip-the-line entry and a guided visit to St Stephen's Basilica, including one of the best viewpoints on the Pest side. The tour finishes in the Jewish Quarter with the Tree of Life memorial behind the Great Synagogue and a look into Szimpla Kert, the city's oldest ruin bar. Along the way you stop for homemade strudel at the Strudel House. Only your group takes part.
