Most tours cover around 2–2.5 km / 1.2–1.5 miles on flat urban terrain. The pace is lively but relaxed. Your guide always waits for the group and starts storytelling only once everyone has arrived at each stop.

Most of our tours take place on flat urban terrain and are suitable for older participants who are comfortable walking 2–2.5 km at a relaxed pace. Only the Párisi Udvar tour includes a longer staircase. For young children, however, a 2–2.5-hour city walk may feel too long or not active enough. If a tour is marked as not recommended for children under 12, we kindly ask that infants are not brought along either.

While we do our best to assist, we cannot guarantee a completely obstacle-free route in the city. Strollers are possible, but we recommend using a baby carrier where feasible. If you are joining with a wheelchair, please contact us in advance so we can advise you on the specific route.

Your guide will be at the meeting point 15 minutes before the start time. We recommend arriving at least 5 minutes early to allow time for check-in.

If you are running late, please check the tour page for instructions on how and where you can join the group. Please note that the group may not be able to wait after the scheduled start time.

If arriving by car, keep in mind that parking in downtown Budapest can be difficult.

Most tours last 2–2.5 hours, and in most cases we include a restroom stop. If this is important to you, please contact us in advance about the specific tour.

Tours run in all weather conditions unless severe weather is forecast. Please dress accordingly — and bring a raincoat if needed.
