★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 69 reviews · 4 - 6 hours · from $74

Guided hike in Budapest’s Buda Hills from Széll Kálmán tér, through Normafa and two lookouts, with optional Hungarian lunch. Small group.

“Great guide. Share lots of knowledge about nature and you get to learn some fun facts. Amazing viewpoints with great panorama that you don't have to work too hard for. The walk is also suitable for kids and teenagers and for all fitness levels. I booked without lunch because it's not needed for the duration of the tour. Bring a water bottle because you can fill it up there. Lazlo has many more tours that can only be booked on his website. (of course without the 25% fee for this app). Find the organizer on Instagram if you need to get a first impression. I will book his other tours…”
