Welcome, you’ve just found me.
My name is Tamás Gráf, and I’ve been showing visitors around Budapest for years.
This Budapest Highlights Tour is designed for travelers who want to see the city’s most beautiful and famous landmarks in comfort, with stories, flexibility, and no rush. You’ll travel in a private car with a panoramic roof, enjoy chilled mineral water, and stop at the most breathtaking viewpoints for photos and local insights.
This tour is ideal if you’d like a clear, well-paced introduction to Budapest – seeing the highlights without feeling rushed, while still understanding what you’re looking at and why it matters.
Guests often tell me they appriciate the calm pace, clear explanations, and the feeling of being looked after rather than rushed.

During this 3-8 hour private tour, you’ll explore both sides of the Danube, Buda and Pest, and see the most iconic sights that define the city’s skyline and spirit.

- Heroes’ Square and City Park
- St. Stephen’s Basilica
- Dohány Street Synagogue

All parking fees are included in the tour price. I know where to park closest to each landmark, so we spend our time discovering Budapest not searching for parking.
