Insight Cities Budapest Tours

Explore ancient buda & dynamic, modern pest, phd & ma-level guides, private & small-group guided tours, customized travel experiences & trip planning, expert-led walking tours in budapest, for travelers who like to learn.

Bisected by the mighty river Danube, Budapest’s two sides conjure distinct eras. Buda Hill’s Castle District recalls the Magyar Kings, Turkish Pashas, and Habsburg Diets who ruled from here, while  lively Pest below – with its extravagant Parliament and Stock Exchange – evokes the political and financial power of the modern Hungarian nation.

On Insight Budapest private tours and small-group tours, we explore the many faces of Hungary’s capital, from the city’s profound Jewish heritage , fabulous Art Nouveau architecture , grand cafés , and complex Cold War legacy , to the Ruin Bars and UNESCO-cited design scene that infuse Budapest today with new cosmopolitanism and creativity.

For those looking for a special gift for their loved ones, all our Budapest tours are available for our gift cards .

“They really explain the city and its history in an informed way,” says Mark Baker from Lonely Planet, mentioning the operator’s Beer and Baroque and totalitarian-themed tour options.”

“On this guided walk you’ll visit hotels, bars, restaurants, and train stations notable for their elaborate facades, ginkgo Biloba leaves, and elegant light fittings, as you discover Prague’s history.”

“Dr. Bonita Rhoads, a bubbly New Yorker and founder of Insight Cities, a company specialising in architectural tours in Central European and American cities.”

“Insight Cities’ Prague Art Nouveau tour, helps make sense of a place that only emerged from behind the Iron Curtain in 1991, and widely agreed to be as beautiful as Paris.”

“Insight Prague guides come with impressive academic credentials and extensive knowledge in their areas of expertise. The company promises ‘truly informed tours for travelers who like to learn.”

“Vadim Erent runs Insight Cities, a tour company that promises to give visitors a deeper perspective on the cultural and political histories of more than half a dozen cities.”

Tripadvisor.

We did the Downtown Pest tour with Andras a few days ago. He is extremely articulate and knowledgeable. And very flexible–he will tailor the tour to your particular interests. This was a great introduction to Budapest, its history and politics. Andras even took us on the metro for part of the tour and taught us how to get a pass, etc. If you like scholarly, in-depth tours, then you will like Insight Cities tours. Highly recommend Andras and Insight Cities tours.

Read Full Review

The best way to see and get immersed in the culture and history of this city is with a local historical guide that lives here.

Veronika was amazing! This was the second tour we took with Veronika (she also gave us a tour of Communist Budapest), and on both occasions she was extremely knowledgable, kind and well informed . She shared tremendous insight and knowledge about Budapest’s history, was very well organized, thoughtful and even took us to fascinating places like an archeological dig or gallery we would not have found on our own. We were so grateful to have taken these tours with Veronika. They were the highlight of our trip!

After engaging Insight Cities for unforgettable tours in Vienna and Prague, we ended our trip with 2 more from the company. After 5 tours, we can easily recommend this company. The guides are superb. Hope to see them in more cities in the future.

We took the “Downtown Pest: The New Imperial Capital” tour with Andras, who was very knowledgeable and full of wonderful anecdotes about his experiences growing up in Budapest. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in actually learning about the city from a local who is full of knowledge and insight. Definitely bring your camera and your curiosity!

Budapest, Hungary

I am very happy with my experience of Tour Radar. The trip to Budapest was great and Tour Radar was extremely helpful with any questions I had regarding the trip and the area. They provided a clear itinerary before the trip as well as offered suggestions of other things in the city that might be of interest. I would definitely book with Tour Radar again!

The trip was great! The tour guide is friendly. Hotels and transportation were all well arranged, and you have some freedom to see what you want to see in the cities. Should have arranged one more day in Sofia after the tour. Overall it's was a wonderful experience!

• Sightseeing

Budapest - Vienna - Salzburg

Thank you Tour Radar for introducing us to a new exciting, sometimes fearful experience of travelling aside from the usual conventional way which was the only way we had gone around to see places. We would also want to thank Shaun Hoffman of EuroAdventures for professionally navigating our tour & helped us create another wonderful memory of a lifetime. Thank you Shaun for connecting with us 24/7 during our tour, email & by phone. Your prompt and usual attention was very much appreciated. Rest assured that our families & friends will hear of your great work. Good luck and best wishes to you & your family. Be well & stay safe.

The beautiful blue Danube (port-to-port cruise)

Croisie Europe Douce France Cruise and Staff were excellent (Good choice of excursions, excellent service, delicious food). The Travel Agency Tour Radar was very helpful and fast. The only negative point was that the initial indicated price on the website of Tour Radar, with a discount of 500 EUR was not applied with the Travel Agency, which made the cruise more expensive than announced.

Prague, Vienna & Budapest

Excellent execution and delivery of itinerary commitments.

What people love about Budapest Tours

Wonderful cities, well-organised, and great value. Shout out to our guide, Jacob, who was as informative and professional as you'd expect, but also adaptable when things out of his control were going wrong (traffic, weather, etc.) And the driver, Nathan, who was always helpful and reliable - almost like a second tour guide.

A well planned trip with some surprising accommodation stops. We were amazed at how much we enjoyed our trip, and can highly recommend it.

Then comes the graceful Elizabeth Bridge (Erzsébet híd), the massive cast iron Liberty Bridge   (Szabadság híd), Petőfi Bridge and the last one is the red Rákóczi Bridge .

Two architectural masterpieces stand at Széchenyi Square at the Pest end of the Chain Bridge:

The next noteworthy sight is the newly refurbished, eclectic  Vigadó Concert Hall at Vigadó tér.

The white cliffs of Gellert Hill with the Statue of Liberty on its top rises above the Danube with the Gellert Bath and Hotel at its foot in Buda, while you pass the Central Market Hall of Budapest at the Pest end of Szabadság híd.
