Small-group tours, day trips, cooking classes and multi-day adventures. Every tour vetted for traveller reviews first.
A 2.5-hour private sailing experience on Lake Balaton, Europe's largest lake, in a Scandinavian fast sailboat. You'll cruise the middle section of the lake in small-group or solo format, with the option to swim at anchor if conditions permit. Life jackets provided for all ages. Best suited to those seeking a calm, intimate time on water rather than a high-energy activity.
When Tom from our BookNow team booked this private photo shoot at Fisherman's Bastion, we got a straightforward deal: 30 minutes with a pro photographer, just us and the iconic Budapest skyline. You're shooting around the Bastion's white stone terraces and the Chain Bridge views — some of the city's most recognisable corners, plus a few quieter laneways nearby. The result is 20 edited digital photos you download within 30 days. It's pitched at couples, families, solo travellers, and anyone wanting decent shots without the tourist crush or the effort of figuring out angles yourself.
A 2-hour walking tour of Budapest's Buda Castle District led by an actor in detective costume, combining documented true crime cases with the area's atmospheric medieval streets. You'll move between locations where actual murders occurred, hearing detailed accounts of real historical crimes set against the district's architecture and views. It's theatre-meets-history for anyone drawn to dark narratives and local criminal history, rather than a conventional heritage walk.
A 3-hour guided food tour led by a licensed vegan chef exploring Budapest's vegan-friendly Hungarian restaurants. You'll taste vegan versions of traditional dishes — gulash, paprikash and chimney cake — stopping at the guide's favourite local spots. It's designed for anyone curious about how Hungarian classics translate to plant-based cooking, with all tastings and tap water included.
A 90-minute hands-on chimney cake class where you'll make two full-size cakes from dough to finish in a professional Budapest studio. You'll learn traditional techniques and proportions you can replicate at home, not just taste a finished product—the class prioritises understanding over shortcuts, with unlimited homemade soft drinks and mineral water included. Minimum 8 participants required to run.
A 4-hour private minivan tour covering Budapest's major landmarks across both Buda and Pest. You'll visit Heroes Square, Buda Castle, the Citadel, and the State Opera House whilst a professional guide explains Hungarian history and culture. Suits first-time visitors wanting an efficient overview of the capital without walking between sites.
A one-hour hands-on workshop where you'll make Kurtoskalacs, Hungary's traditional spiral chimney cake, under local guidance in central Budapest. You'll learn the history, roll and shape dough around a wooden spindle, watch it caramelise on a rotating grill, then finish it with your choice of toppings—cinnamon sugar, vanilla, cocoa, or walnut—and take it home warm alongside a certificate and hot drink.
A 2-hour guided Segway tour covering Budapest's major landmarks across both Buda and Pest sides, including Fisherman's Bastion, Buda Castle, Parliament, and Chain Bridge. You'll get 10–15 minutes of practice time before setting out in a small group or private arrangement with an expert guide. Suits anyone with basic mobility who wants to see central Budapest efficiently without the pace of a walking tour.
A 2-hour guided Segway tour through Budapest's riverside and hilltop neighbourhoods after dark. You'll ride your own Segway from the Danube embankments up to Fisherman's Bastion and the Chain Bridge, with a guide steering you through the illuminated streets. Suits anyone with basic balance and fitness — training is included — though it's not suitable if you're pregnant or have cardiovascular concerns. A novel way to cover Budapest's night-time landmarks without walking.
A one-hour guided tour of the Pálinkamaúzeum where you'll learn the history of Hungarian pálinka from the 19th century to today, followed by a tasting session. You'll sample three award-winning pálinka varieties paired with beer pretzels, and pick up the fundamentals of spirit tasting technique along the way.
A 3-hour private car tour of Budapest with a local guide and professional driver, covering the city's spread-out landmarks and cultural highlights. You'll start and end at a location of your choice — hotel, port, or elsewhere — with live commentary throughout. This suits anyone wanting efficient coverage of major sights without the pace of a large group tour, and works well for those with mobility needs or tight schedules.
