The 15 Best Bar Tours in Budapest

1.Unlimited Prosecco, Beer and Aperol Spritz Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 25,310 reviews · from $28Our pick

Spend 75 minutes on Budapest’s Danube with unlimited Hungarian sparkling wine, spritzer, beer, or lemonade. An English audio guide points out Parliament, Liberty Bridge, and other sights, while panoramic windows and an open-air terrace give you strong photo angles. Focaccia with dips is available as an add-on.

“Excellent value for money. It was very relaxing cruising along the Danube, but let’s face it, most were probably there for the drink - I don’t think there were any sober people walking off the boat! Great value for money, drinks were continuously flowing, would definitely recommend.”

2.Unlimited Prosecco, Beer & Aperol Spritz Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,371 reviews · 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $29

You’ll have a panoramic window table, an open-roof deck when conditions allow, and the option to buy Hungarian snacks.

“This Budapest boat cruise is overrated and did not live up to expectations. On the positive side, the unlimited Prosecco was genuinely enjoyable, and the staff were friendly, professional, and efficient throughout the cruise. They did their part well. However, the experience started poorly even before boarding. Guests are advised to arrive 30 minutes early, yet boarding only began around 5 minutes before departure. This left a large number of people standing in the rain with no shade or shelter, which was uncomfortable and completely avoidable. The tour operator made no effort to board guests earlier or provide temporary cover, despite the weather, which significantly impacted the overall ex...”

“So positives - Imran I would give 5 stars, he should be managing the tours, he’s great fun and knows how to build rapport with the guests! Change needed, - the first bar was rubbish, scrap it, it’s just a boring sports bar, also should meet at a bar and have a reserved area, not meet and then have a ten minute walk to the first rubbish bar! Not having any areas reserved to, all tours I’ve been in have had that. The third bar was great, more time should be spent there, it’s so cool and funky. I had fun thanks to imran and other people on tour but…”

“A really brilliant evening - we were in a group of 8 overall, a mix of solo travellers and pairs and had the best sommelier (Sally) guide us through 8 different wines. What should have been a 2h activity ended up lasting our whole evening as we enjoyed the place, the company and the wine so much. This was fun, information, casual, and surprisingly rewarding. If you have a dietary requirement just let them know; I recommend not booking anything afterwards so you can fully enjoy the experience.”
