Your tour begins at the Holy Trinity Statue, from where you walk around the magnificent Matthias Church, built in the splendid Gothic style of the 15th century. Next to the cathedral you can admire the Fishermen's Bastion, a fantastic fairy tale structure offering the best view over the Danube and the Hungarian Parliament building.

After a pleasant walk on the old cobble-stone streets, leave the residential district to travel to the President's Palace and the Royal Palace complexes. Walk around the courtyards and fountains, and look at the proud guards outside the palace. From the royal terraces you can enjoy the the most stunning views of the other side of the city across the majestic Danube River, with full views of its main bridges: Margaret Bridge, Chain Bridge, Elizabeth Bridge, and Liberty Bridge.

After walking back from the Royal Palace, explore the other side of the castle. From the medieval walls you have an excellent view towards the Buda Hills - the western part of the city with its forests and nature parks. Your tour later ends at the tour starting point at the Holy Trinity Statue, in front of the Matthias Church.

This was not a Tui tour so we had to make our own way to Buda Castle. The tour guide went over the specified time so we had to leave before she finished to ensure that we could get a taxi back to the ship for sailing. This added a lot of expense to the tour.The tour guide was knowledgeable however kept on talking throughout the tour about other possible events places of interest and the cost which wasn't what I wanted to hear from the tour.

Our guide, Monica, was fantastic. Her knowledge was incredible and she answered any questions the group had. She was very funny which made it more engaging.

Compared to all the other walking tours during this week (3 others) this was by far the worst. The guide, although a perfectly lovely person, was not enthusiastic or engaging. There were long periods when we just followed her with no information being shared. Typically on walking tours the guide will constantly be relaying facts and anecdotes, both while standing and walking.

Visited a very interesting area, high up on the “Buda” side of Budapest with magnificent views. Got a cab there as it’s a long climb up and then a two hour walking tour all outside the castle area ( which was in fact a Palace.) Excellent tour guide too.
