Overview

We offer deeply personal exploration of history through touching stories, alongside insights into Budapest's vibrant contemporary culture, including its renowned nightlife and urban art scene. In addition to delving into the rich historical significance of the Jewish District, our tours stand out for their emphasis on uncovering hidden symbols and lesser-known narratives, providing a comprehensive understanding beyond typical tourist experiences.

The small booking fee you have paid to City Boat Tours is an administrative fee to guarantee your spot on the tour. You are encouraged to tip your guide what you feel the tour was worth at the end. Most guests tip €10 per person, some even more. Our guides work very hard for tips, and you are guaranteed to have a great tour!

Important note: Groups of 8 or more people are required to contact us at least 24 hours in advance and they have to pay a minimum 8 €/ person minimum fee for the tour, whether they booked as a group or separately.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
