First Stop: The Grand Budapest Welcome
Once you’ve met your English-speaking driver at the airport terminal, you’ll be whisked away for a 1.5-hour scenic orientation tour of Budapest. No baggage worries—your luggage is safe in the car while you sit back and enjoy the city’s greatest hits.
The tour is curated to give you a panoramic overview of Budapest, designed for comfort and customizability. Along the way, you’ll catch sight of:
Parliament Building
Arguably the most iconic structure in Hungary, the Neo-Gothic Parliament building along the Danube is jaw-dropping by day and shimmering by night. Your guide will share some fascinating stories about its architecture, hidden secrets, and the historical events that unfolded here.
Heroes’ Square (Hősök tere)
You’ll pass by this majestic square, home to the statues of Hungary’s greatest leaders. It’s more than a photo-op—it’s a time capsule of Hungarian pride. Your driver might even pull over for a quick picture or two if you like.
The Chain Bridge (Széchenyi Lánchíd)
The first bridge to connect Buda and Pest, the Chain Bridge is the perfect symbol of unity—both in structure and spirit. Get your first look at the Danube River, which bisects the city into its twin halves and offers one of the most enchanting urban landscapes in Europe.

Learn As You Go: Tips from a Local Insider
Your driver isn’t just a chauffeur—they’re also your local insider.
