Your Itinerary

Belgrade

(Pass by)

Meet your driver at your accommodation in Belgrade and settle into your private vehicle for the 4-hour journey to Budapest. ( 365 km, only highway)

Gellert Hill

The first stop on our comprehensive 3-hour city tour of Budapest will be the Gellert Hill with a fantastic viewpoint. Enjoy an unbeatable panorama of the city and the Danube River as your guide fills you in on the city’s two halves: Buda, the ancient seat of the Hungarian Kings and Pest, the heart of the modern city.

Buda Castle

Start your explorations in Buda with a tour of the medieval castle and follow your guide around Trinity Square, Fisherman's Bastion, and Matyas church. After snapping photos of the grand Buda Castle, which dates from the 13th century, we'll cross the iconic Chain Bridge into Pest, but not before stopping to admire the magnificent Hungarian Parliament Building on the waterfront.

Andrassy Avenue

(Pass by)

Next, we'll drive down the elegant Andrassy Avenue, home to the lavish Hungarian State Opera House. Andrássy Avenue is not only one of Pest's most beautiful and well-known streets, it's also a UNESCO World Heritage Site flanked with impressive 19th-century buildings. For lunch (own expense), follow your guide’s recommendations and tuck into some traditional Hungarian cuisine at a local restaurant. Gulyas stew is a good choice. In the afternoon, enjoy around three hours of free time to wander around the city independently, hit the shops, or take a soak at the famous Gellert Bath (admission not included). Around 5.00 pm, meet up with your guide for the return trip to Belgrade and finish your tour with drop-off at your hotel.

Heroes' Square

Following Andrassy Avenue, we'll reach The Heroes Square. Heroes' Square is the largest and most symbolic square in Budapest. The Millenary Monument, a 36m-high pillar topped by a golden Archangel Gabriel, holding the Hungarian crown and a cross, dominates the square. At the column's base are Prince Árpád and six other Magyar chieftains who occupied the Carpathian Basin in the late 9th century. The 14 statues in the colonnades behind are of rulers and statesmen – from King Stephen to Lajos Kossuth.

Vaci Street

(Pass by)

Browse the shops along lively Vaci Street, then take a peek inside the opulent St. Stephen's Basilica, where the star attraction is, somewhat bizarrely, the right hand of its namesake King Stephen. For lunch (own expense), follow your guide's recommendations and tuck into some traditional Hungarian cuisine at a local restaurant. Gulyas stew is always the right choice. In the afternoon, enjoy around three hours of free time to wander around the city independently, hit the shops, or take a soak at the famous Gellert Bath (admission not included). Around 5.00 pm, meet up with your guide for the return trip to Belgrade and finish your tour with drop-off at your hotel.

Belgrade

(Pass by)

Your tour concludes with transportation back to your hotel/accommodation in Belgrade, where we'll arrive late in the evening. End of services.

This was quite a long drive, but let me tell you, "It was worth it!" Aleksandar made sure to keep us entertained and comfortable for the drive. We got some of the most wonderful views that will never be forgotten. If you want to take a quick trip to another city/country this is a great choice! This was one of the most beautiful cities that I have ever seen.

Jelica was wonderful! George was a great driver. I would recommend this to anyone...Boarder crossing can take a bit but it's worth it and Jelica is just a wonderful person very funny, Friendly and will accommodate you if you have been there before like we had and show you places you have not seen. Loved every min. of it!

This was a wonderful tour that my wife and I enjoyed. Though it was about 12+ hours and we had a long wait at the border check post between Serbia and Hungary, it was still very much worth it. Alexander was an excellent tour guide and kept us well informed of all the key sites and topography of Budapest. Alexander was punctual, polite and very informative. I would strongly recommend this tour.

<p>We were warmly picked up by our guide Alex from our hotel and headed straight to Budapest. On the way Alex give us a detailed schedule and along the way he explained to us the history of the country. Once in Budapest, Alex took us to all the historical sites and took his time in explaining to us in details everything we needed to know. After that we headed to have lunch and then we were given free time to visit the thermal baths which is an amazing experience. At 5.30 we were picked by Alex and headed to Belgrade. <br/> All in all the trip was a great success thanks to Alex as he was very patient with us as we used to stop every 5 seconds to take pics, he also and tailored the tour in a way that kept us very happy and comfortable. Alex was very informative, you can tell he knows what he is talking about and that he has a passion for what he is doing. I would highly recommend this day trip, ask for Alex for an amazing day in Budapest.</p>

<p>As four US citizens two couples staying in Belgrade, we were intrigued by the idea of taking a day trip to Budapest in neighboring Hungary. Yes, it is a long day, requiring more than a three hour drive each way but we decided it was totally worth it. From beginning to end, this tour far exceeded our expectations which were already pretty high. Our tour guide, Alexander, picked us up promptly at 7:30 am from our lodging and we immediately felt comfortable with him. His English was impeccable and he did an impressive job of explaining the history and culture of our destination in a way that was interesting and easy to follow as we traveled through northern Serbia and across the border into Hungary. We appreciated the personalized nature of this private tour and our guides flexibility and suggestions about how to make the best use of our time in Budapest. We were fortunate to be touring the city in the off season as it was not crowded and we were treated to breathtaking views and scenery from several overlooks. The view of the city and Danube River from Fishermans Bastion was especially memorable. We had plenty of time to get a great overview of the city and wander along a pedestrian area visiting the small shops and seeing the Christmas decorations. We bought paprika and some of the locally made marzipan liquor to take home. We were glad we had our winter hats and gloves with us since it was a bit windy, especially at the overlooks. Our guide recommended a local restaurant and we enjoyed our lunch of traditional Hungarian cuisine. Once we finished our meal, it was getting dark and time to leave. After the great meal and the touring, we relaxed and even slept a bit on the ride home. This is by far one of the best escorted tours we have taken and we all agreed it was a great value as well. We look forward to taking more Viatours in the future.</p>

<p>Do it! But be prepared to spend up to nine hours driving for four hours of exploration in Budapest. Our guide Alexander was awesome! He was patient, knowledgeable and helped us find some of the things we wanted to see on our own in the city. We went to a ruin bar, which was very cool and asked our guide to take us to the shoes on the Danube memorial. He gladly made this happen even though it wasn't on the itinerary. We unexpectedly had to wait for three hours at the border leaving Hungary, so that made for a LONG trip back to Belgrade, but obviously that was beyond everyone's control. If you have a free day and want to check out Budapest I would highly recommend this tour!</p>

<p>If you only have one day to take advantage of visiting this fantastic city, do it! It's a long day, but well worth it. Alexander was our guide and made sure we saw all the key points while remaining flexible along the journey. We really enjoyed this tour.</p>

3 days in Belgrade and It was perfect. Big thanks to Alexander from Victors Tours. Alexander est un excellent guide, beaucoup de connaissances et très patient. Il nous a ramené à Belgrade, à partir de Budapest, dans une tempête de neige. Thanks Alexander and Victors tours.
