Accessible Budapest Tour
Description
There are quite a few areas and venues in Budapest which are difficult to navigate for a disabled person, or people with a baby stroller or pushchair. We can adjust our general sightseeing trips to meet the needs of every member of a group. If there are wheelchair users or people with mobility difficulties, we can plan a route to avoid stairways and level differences. We know which monuments, restaurants and toilet facilities are fully accessible to disabled people, and those which are only partly or inaccessible without assistance. We can even organize an accessible minibus service for sightseeing if you book it with us in advance.

There is an accessible elevator for wheelchair users to get inside the church, except the tower area with the treasury and the panoramic terrace. Open every day, except Sunday morning religious service.

We will cross the river Danube and get to the Castle of Buda where we will explore the panoramic terrace of the Royal Palace with the most beautiful view of the city.
See a beautiful fountain made in the 19th century.
Then we will move from the castle of Buda to the palace of the president with the guards in historical uniforms.
As a next stop on the tour you will have the chance to admire one of the most beautiful and fascinating places in Budapest, the Fishermen's Bastion with the famous panorama over the river Danube and the Hungarian Parliament building.
We will walk around the beautiful Matthias Church built in the Middle Ages in Gothic style. The church is not accessible inside for wheelchair users.
The iconic bridge is under renovation currently (from 2021 to 2022).
Admire the elegant Andrassy Avenue, the 2 miles long historical thoroughfare of the city. We will take an accessible public bus along the avenue to get to Heroes' Square.
Walk through the impressive Heroes' Square, the largest square in Budapest. In the middle of the square you find the Millennium Monument, while on its two sides you will see the Arts Hall and the Fine Arts Museum.

Our guide was superb. She understood our handicaps and tailored her itinerary and timing to our specific requirements. Without her expertise and compassion we would not have left Budapest with such wonderful memories.
Booked because it said it includes the castle but it doesn't. Basilica isn't free, St Mathias church isn't free. Didn't get to all the sites due to poor timekeeping.
We had a personal guide whose knowledge of Budapest was exceptional and we would never have been able to navigate the sites of Budapest without her. Knowing about accessibility on public transport to ensuring we could access key sights with my wheelchair where key to our tour and EVA couldn’t have done more. She also had encyclopaedic knowledge about the history of Budapest and the sights we visited We spent about 5 hours covering all the key sights and the tour was excellent value for money
It been really a wonderful experience to learn about bodapest history with @Adam, as a group we enjoyed our time and in future surely we wanted to visit again. 🥳🥳 Till then Tschüss.
