★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 213 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $71

A half-day Budapest intro with a guided Castle District walk and a real Hungarian Parliament interior visit, plus transport and tickets.

“Mostly riding on a bus having the guide point out things that can be hard to see out the windows. Tour did stop at Hero's square and Fisherman's Bastion. But then you get dropped off to go to the Parliment, which did have a ticket included but the guide left you there. Not worth the $100 per person charged. You'd be better off taking a hop on hop off bus and buying your own ticket to the Parliment. I would not recommend this tour.”
