FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01
Do I need a visa for Budapest from Vienna?
Austria and Hungary are EU/Schengen. EU citizens need valid ID; third-country nationals should check Hungarian entry rules for their passport.
02
Is one day enough for Budapest?
You can see major highlights in one long day; guests who want baths and museums often prefer an overnight — we also offer one-way transfers if you continue east.
03
Is a local guide required?
For chauffeur-only transport, no. For licensed guided touring inside Hungary, local guide rules may apply — ask when booking if you want a guide.
04
Can we change the itinerary on the day?
Within your booked time window, yes — tell your chauffeur or agree changes in advance when you book so timing stays realistic.
05
Are meals and tickets included?
Transport and chauffeur are included in the package price. Museum tickets, boat cruises, meals, and optional licensed guides are extra unless quoted otherwise.
