Tours and Tickets by Rinett Guide Tours
Overview
Budapest is situated on the banks of the Danube. The river splits the city into two halves: Pest, which is completely flat, and Buda, which is hilly.
Main sights in Pest: Central Market Hall, National Museum, Great Synagogue, Geological Institute, City Park (Széchenyi Thermal Bath), Heroes' Square, Andrássy Avenue, State Opera House, St. Stephen's Basilica, Parliament Main sights in Buda: Castle District (included former Royal Palace, Matthias Church, Fishermen's Bastion), Gellért Hill (Statue of Freedom), Gellért Thermal Hotel and Spa Between the two sides we have the beautiful and impressive Chain Bridge, Elisabeth Bridge and Liberty Bridge. On a 4 hour tour you can get a general overview about our wonderful capital. A full day tour (7 hours) is more detailed and you'll have longer time to explore all of the sights.

Review of: Private city tour by van
Christmas Week 2019 my wife and two adult sons flew into Budapest from New York. We are part Hungarian so this was a very special trip long overdue. This was not our first trip to Europe and I learned that the best way to really see and appreciate a destination is to find a good personal guide. Commercial tour operators cater to big groups and my experience is that often the guides hired by the tour operators work off of a script. If you ask a question not related to the script you get bs responses. Zoltan was fantastic and exactly what I wanted. After a quick email exchange while we were going through customs we met Zoltan. He was instantly welcoming and greeted us as if we were old friends. On the way from the airport he told us what we were looking at, what we could expect to see and what we must see while visiting there for the week. he shared some family stories, asked about our family and told us things to do in the days before our scheduled guide date. We spent a day in the city and then went to Vienna for two nights and returned in time for New Years Eve back in Budapest. Zoltan met us again the morning of 2 January and took us throughout Pest before going to Buda across the river. It seemed that he knew something about every building and statue we passed and there was not a question that he could not answer. He recommended several fine restaurants for dinner that were fantastic out of the way places. We stopped at least 10-12 times on our tour and we spent as much time as we wanted at each attraction. While our trip this time centered on Buda and Pest he suggested several places to visit on our next trip which are just outside the city that we will be doing as soon as this pandemic is over. He also brought us back to the airport the day that we left. Zoltan was so nice that we have stayed in touch in the subsequent months via WhatsApp. I cannot recommend his services enough. His fees were more than reasonable. If you are looking for a nice, safe, polite gentleman to escort you around a beautiful city that he truly loves, please do yourself a favor and hire this man and Rinett Guide Tours.…

Review of: Private city tour by van
My parents, and another couple they traveled with, recommended Zoltan to us. My husband and I had only one day in Budapest so we were quick to work with Zoltan to book a tour on their recommendation. Zoltan was prompt to respond to my requests and helpful with arranging everything we requested. He picked us up on time at our hotel and had the day planned. He even recommended we make a stop for the parliament tour, whichever was outside of the plan, but an exceptional stop. Zoltan was knowledgeable and helpful and a wonderful guide to spend the day with exploring the city. He made our only day in Budapest full and memorable.…

We took a van tour with Zoltan on November 30th and we absolutely loved it! He is such a nice man and he showed us so many wonderful sights in the city. We were 4 people and his van was very comfortable and we felt safe in his hands. We highly recommend this tour!

The 6 in our group HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company. This was the highlight of our trip on the Danube River. We ended in Budapest and Zoltan picked us up at the boat, took our baggage to hotel and started our city tour. That was already above and beyond! But then he booked our evening cruise to see the lights; ordered our taxi for the trip to to airport the following morning and recommended an authentic Hungarian restaurant! Zoltan had communicated well in advance asking us what we wanted to see and as we spent time with him, he modified the sights we saw and the routes he took to accommodate our interests. He is very knowledgeable about Hungarian history and a great story teller. Best ever!!!!!…

I highly recommend him and definitely will contact him for all my future visit of not only Budapest but the entire country of Hungary.…
