You can see the most important sights of Budapest during this 4-hour long tour. I recommend this program those who have only a short time or want to explore the city alone and need just an orientation. During such a city tour you can decide what you want to see more thoroughly, where you want to go back or you can simply measure the distances.

Sightseeing by car is more comfortable and less tiring - and allows more time to spend in all places.

If you are more in number than 3, a comfortable minivan with a driver can be arranged for you.
