About this activity
I pick you up from your hotel or wherever is most comfortable for you, and we head straight to the City Park, this is where our tour starts. City Park has many sightseeing opportunities including the glorious Vajdahunyad Castle, Széchenyi bath (the largest thermal bath in the capital), the Zoo and an outdoor Ice skating rink. We then head to Hero's Square, where I will give you a short lesson regarding the most important figures in Hungarian history.
Along the famous Andrássy Avenue, we can find the beautiful Neo-Renaissance mansions and townhouses featuring fine facades. Homes on this street have been featured on televisions shows such as House Hunters International. It is also one of Budapest's main shopping streets with fine cafes, restaurants, theaters and luxury boutiques.
We have a look inside St Stephen Basilica, where the most important reliquary, the "Holy Right Hand", the mummified hand of St Stephen is placed. We then walk around the gorgeous Hungarian Parliament and Liberty Square to discover the stories behind every statue of it.
We continue our trip up to the Royal Castle District crossing the famous Chain Bridge. We visit the charming Royal Castle, Matthias Church with its beautiful frescos and the Fisherman's Bastion. After wandering around in this beautiful historical area, we enjoy the panoramic view of the capital.

Our guide for this tour was Mr Rashad Soliman, an outstanding young man who made our tour one of the most memorable that we had on our three week vacation. He gave us more hours than we had expected and took us to many places all over the city. To top it off, he gave us a bottle of wine as a gift at the end of our tour. You have not seen Budapest until you taken Mr Rashad's tour. He is a former history teacher with a vast knowledge of the city origins, development, and more recent turbulent times and events. You will see Monuments and Architecture, the inside of Cathedrals, as well as bullet scarred walls intentionally left as silent witness to strife now ended. We unabashedly praise Mr Rashad for his excellent tour and fine descriptions and explanations of people, places, and events. The more questions that you can ask him, the more that you will learn from your tour.
