Budapest features a remarkably comprehensive and efficient public-transportation system, so to truly experience Hungary’s capital the way that locals do, there is no better way than getting around the city by tram, bus, metro, and even ferryboat. During this 2.5-hour tour, participants will have the opportunity to try five different means of transport and see the city in a different way. This guided tour of the city allows you to experience it like a local and get to know Budapest and its dwellers as they live their everyday life.

Inclusions: Notebook, Souvenir pen, 24-hour pass for any means of transportation, Map showing the route of the tour, Rider’s Booklet (manual for Budapest public transport), Local guide

Exclusions: Food and drinks, Gratuities

I have used Fungarian services twice and I can really recommend them. This time I went with my daughter (11 years old) and Balázs organsied a specialized tour for her. I can really recommend using Fungarian also for children, Balázs was a truly excellent guide and my daughter really got to learn and have fun at the same time. And for a second time Miklós put together a special program for me. If you want something more than a stardadized tour, I recommend Fungarian.

The Hungarian language is widely regarded as being too difficult for a foreigner to even attempt to understand – but with this lighthearted 1-hour class, visitors will receive an easy introduction to the Magyars’ playfully poetic language. Held amid informal settings, classes are personalized to teach the basics such as survival phrases and polite ways to interact with locals; during the class participants can ask questions about Hungarian life and culture.

Inclusions: Beverages, Local guide, 1 hour language class, Orientation tour

Exclusions: Lunch

I have signed my 14 year-old daughter and her same age friend up for this tour as a fun end-of-summer activity. Miklós has taken them on this half day introduction to Budapest tour via walking and public transportation. The girls were thoroughly entertained (and received excellent physical exercise through walking!). Miklós managed to show them several hidden gems of the city and make it an entertaining while extremely educational half day. He taught them about the different architectural styles as well as Hungarian history and the history of this beautiful city. Miklós - as I learned - has been a university professor during his professional years , including spending time at one of the best US universities as guest lecturer, with a waste knowledge of history, art history and literature. His English is impeccable. Indeed this was a unique experience for the two girls. Highly recommended!

One of the highlights of our trip to Hungary was this tour! It is always intriguing to view a city as how it was before. I personally gained new knowledge and maybe even more passion towards this subject, as I am already drawn to history. Sending our tour guide the warmest regards.

I called Thomas the day before our tour and he was easily able to accommodate our group of 2. Our tour of Budapest was very pleasant and Thomas was able to provide a lot of background on various subjects ranging from architecture to royal history to insights on daily life in Hungary. Furthermore he is very pleasant and a nice guy with lots of smiles and is able to recommend other ideas for your stay in the area. 5 stars! Thanks Thomas!
