It was an absolute mind blowing experience to see the amazing caves under the city. We enjoy the sense of humor of the best guide Peter and also all the fun facts about caving. This tour is 100% recommended to add an unforgettable memory during your tour to Budapest!
Superb
Sidona_B, Oct 2023
What an experience! I really enjoyed this trip. It started with 3D movie about the caves and some geological facts and data. Peter ( I believe this was the name)the host was very knowledgable and interacting with a group of 7 people. The experience was fascinating: to walk through the caves, hear the history of it and climb the ladder up through narrow cave passage which lead you out of the cave.
Lovely Caves

Caves are amazing to see and our tour guide was very good. There is a lot of walking and climbing stairs so anyone looking at doing this wear appropriate food wear plus bring water/snacks
Must do experience in Budapest

Cave tour with excessive walk between caves
Paul_K, Aug 2023
Guide was interesting but not so responsive to keep group together. It would have made the tour more interesting to show consideration for all involved.
Fun, unique experience
Rose_H, Aug 2023
We had a great experience - our guide (sorry missed his name!) was really fun and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to do something unique.
Peter and the caves
DEV_A, May 2023
1st time cave walking and really enjoyed it, made all the better by Peter who is hilarious without even trying. Two very good caves to get you started with, both easily accessible with a little stamina required for some of the steps, would definitely recommend 👍
Budapest Bucket List - Must See!
Tracy_K, Jul 2022
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and knew to point out the characteristics of the various formations, how the caves were discovered, and by whom in interesting stories which made it entertaining for everyone. He shared a few fun surprises on the way and showed us where the team trains techniques to be prepared for the physical rigors caving requires. This was an easy cave walk for me and my children (10 and under) but there are small footed steps to climb (172 to be exact) and many more in the second cave including metal step ladders with handrails that are cold to the touch. So please know that going in and don't give the guide a difficult time that you had to exert yourself a bit. It is caving after all but just an intro at that. If you don't have any physical or health limitations I highly recommend this tour. It is a truly fascinating look at what lies under the streets of Budapest and who is walking beneath you as you are above! You'll never see the city the same again!
