Hiking In Budapest

It was an amazing experience. Laszlo is very knowledgeable and friendly. He also helped take pictures and was very kind. There was also a cave that we went through. He told many interesting things and also helped spot many birds. I can highly recommend going on hiking tour with Laszlo.

The hiking trip was booked by Journee for me and I’m glad they did as it was great. Laszlo is a great tour guide, very friendly and helpful and provided a great time hiking providing lots of information about the history of Budapest!

An amazing experience to hike the Buda hills and nature with Laszlo who is an outstanding guide. It’s a unique opportunity to see a less touristy part of Budapest and to learn about the nature and changes that are taking place as a result of climate change. Laszlo is great to have a conversation with across many topics and we loved the time we spent with him. Highly recommended.

Great time hiking and learning more about Budapest and Hungary. Great views and Laszlo was a great guide!

Lazlo was our tour guide for the half-day tour and he was so knowledgeable with the flora and fauna of the Budapest mountains. The tour itself was very small as it was just myself, Lazlo, and 2 other people on the hike in our group. There was a very small amount of people on the trails when we were on our hike so it was quite nice and quiet! Lazlo is very passionate about the environment and addressed some of the downfalls that have impacted the forests in the Budapest mountains. Any questions that I had on our hike, he responded with a very knowledgable answer and showed us a multitude of different structures, outlooks, cave entrances, and provided us with some history of Budapest as well. It was a wonderful hike - beautiful scenery, beautiful and well marked trails, and such a friendly, inviting and wonderful tour guide! This hike can definitely be done by families with littles, solo groups, or friend groups. It might be difficult for those who need wheelchairs or for those who cannot walk long distances. The price was definitely worth the views, it was a fantastic tour. Thanks for the hike Lazlo - hope to see you again sometime in the future when I return!

The hike was very interesting and easy to do, with some amazing views and great nature. Laszlo is a great guide with amazing knowledge on all the plants, trees, birds, different types of mushrooms, and so much more. He is very friendly and thoughtful. Also got a chance to learn about the history of hungary along the tour. We also saw a cave and went through it which was interesting and unexpected. Lovely to see this side of budapest and will highly recommend anyone looking for a unique experience.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Our guide was very informative about our environment and the history of the place, he made our hike really enjoyable

This was fun and a different way of seeing g Budapest in a place that reminds you what beauty is naturally. I loved it.

Laszlo was a fantastic guide throughout the hike. Incredibly knowledgeable about the local area and patient along the hike. The views from the hills were amazing, the pictures do not do it justice.

It was a beautiful walk, pure pleasure. Thank you very much, Laszlo

Laszlo our guide made a great day out of our hiking tour. In a nature area easily accessible from the city. We learnt a bit of the history of that side of things from the past. Some challenging sections but what's not to love about walking in nature on a sunny day. The views were worth it after the adventurous paths

I truly enjoyed this hike with Laszlo. He does a great job matching the execution of the hike to the clients abilities and expectations. There is no way, in my opinion that anyone could have done this hike without a guide, there were way too many different routes/junctions with no clear signage. Excellent conversation along the way and it was a very interesting and beautiful excursion (even with the vegetation so dry from an ongoing heat and drought period). I would highly recommend Laszlo for any hike you might have in mind.

Lazlo is an expert hikers who knows a lot about nature and his country. We did a wonderful hike and had a great time with him

I extremely enjoyed this nature hike very close to Budapest city. The hike is relatively a easy hike. Laszlo is very passionate hiking guide and that came out loud and clear during the hike. He has good knowledge and he shared all details about the surroundings and more during the hike. It was a good experience overall and in particular with Laszlo .

This was the perfect way to get out of the city center and explore more of Budapest. Laszlo was the most wonderful guide, he was simply the best & so knowledgeable about Budapest as well as all the flora and fauna! So many moments were so beautiful and Laszlo made sure we saw them all, even helping us get the best photo. The meeting spot was central and easy to find and then we hopped on a bus out of the main city center. The hike was a good distance but not too strenuous. We spent about 4 hours with stops for snacks and water, which was perfect. Laszlo is the ultimate guide, so knowledgeable. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone interested in a change of pace from the city and to get a different view and understanding of Budapest!

If you're visiting Budapest, don't miss this tour! Our family of four (my husband, our two daughters ages 18 and 20, and I) did the 6-hour hike with lunch, and it ended up being the absolute highlight of our trip. Laszlo was an exceptional guide—friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about Budapest, its history, nature, and culture. He shared fascinating stories and explanations throughout the hike that made everything we saw so much more meaningful. What really stood out was how attentive he was to our group. He had a great sense of when we needed a short break and would stop at just the right moments to point out something interesting or take in another spectacular view. The pace felt perfect from start to finish. As first-time visitors to Budapest, we loved getting off the beaten path and experiencing the city's beautiful hills, trails, and breathtaking viewpoints. Lunch was a wonderful addition and gave us time to relax and continue the great conversation. Our daughters both commented afterward how interesting and engaging Laszlo was, which says a lot! We all thoroughly enjoyed the day and would recommend Trails of Budapest to anyone looking for a unique way to experience the city. Thank you, Laszlo, for such a memorable day!

Laszlo our hiking guide was friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable.

I can’t recommend this hiking tour enough if you are looking for a chance to catch your breath and enjoy being surrounded by nature after experiencing much sightseeing in the city. Laszlo was the perfect guide. His combination of passion for the outdoors along with a little history of the area made it very interesting and enjoyable. Being a keen hiker, this was probably the best tour I did on my trip. The walk through the Buda Hills is not difficult and does not require full hiking gear. This makes it suitable for most people. At first I was concerned I might be the only person booked but 2 others joined the group. Having met Laszlo I would be happy to do this if no one else had come along.

I did this tour with my parents and we all found it very enjoyable. It's a great option for anyone who likes spending time in nature and wants to see a different side of Budapest. Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable, making the hike both interesting and fun. Along the way, we learned about different types of mushrooms and trees, as well as some interesting facts about Budapest in general. One thing I thought was particularly cool was learning about an app that can identify different bird species from their sounds - we even got to try it during the hike! The Buda Hills are beautiful, and the tour offered a nice balance of walking, learning, and enjoying the scenery. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience and one that I'd happily recommend to anyone looking to spend a few hours outdoors while learning something new.

A great way to see Budapest from a different perspective. Laszlo is a knowledgeable, competent and thoughtful guide. The hike was a great way to see Budapest from the hills and to learn a lot more about the area. The views were spectacular from the top. Would highly recommend the hike.

This was such a great Budapest adventure. The hike was beautiful. Laszlo was such an informative guide. He had so much info about the history of the area, and the trees, plants, bugs etc. He also had great recommendations about other must see/do experiences in Budapest.

This was one of my favorite things I did in Budapest. It was a great escape from the city and informative. Laszlo was an excellent guide! Highly recommend to anyone looking to see the hills

Laszlo is the best! It was great to get out of the city and back to nature for a few hours in the Buda hills. A “go at your own pace” walk in the woods and spectacular panoramic vistas were just the antidote for the previous days, which were spent in several central European cities. The spring birdsong was a bonus.

This hike was a great experience!! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area, the trees and the nature of the trail, we learned a lot! It was the perfect length for anyone looking to discover the beauty of Buda’s mountains without having a prior hiking experience and without spending a lot of money!! We had the most fun with our guide Laszlo and the people in our group, 10/10 experience would recommend this hike to anyone!

Fantastic 5 stars. Beautiful scenery, great guide.

Laszlo was amazing! We first explored the Ram Gorge and then to the volcanic rocks and tower look out on Prédikálószék. It was a full day of hiking but filled with his insights about mushrooms, geography, geology, changes in nature, trees, birds, flowers, etc. It was a wonderful day trip that I highly recommend, not too far out of Budapest city.

We spent a lovely morning with Laszlo. He arrived early and had sorted out our transport. We were lucky enough to spend over three hours hiking through the Buda hills with him. His knowledge of local history, flora & fauna and wildlife really made the trip for us.

Fantastic snow hike, which was the right level of challenge and we thoroughly enjoyed as a couple. Laszlo was a great host, sharing lots of interesting stories along the way and adjusting the pace just right for us. We even had a go on a small sled down a ski slope!

Laszlo was such a wonderful tour guide, so knowledgeable and friendly. He shared a lot of Hungarian history and we weren’t rushed at all. I was exceptionally lucky with the day that I picked my hike as the snow was plentiful. But even without the snow this would have been awesome, some incredible views. I highly recommend this hike tour! 😊

You have to do this light hike to get away from the busy city. Fall colors were beautiful and Laszlo is the best guide, very knowledgeable and just loves the outdoors. His passion for nature just shines through.

I really enjoyed this hiking journey, that's so much fun to go hiking with our best tour guide - Laszlo, he has professional knowledge and good at communication, I learn a lot in this treasurable experience!

Laszko, our tour guide, shared hidden stories behind the forests we traveled through. The tour helped us appreciate the natural scenery of Budapest. Laszko was patient with our changing schedule and headcount! Thank you so much!

This hike with Laszlo was definitely one of the highlights from my trip to Budapest and I have recommended it to literally anyone I’ve told about my trip. He was so knowledgeable about the history of Budapest, the woods around us and advising of things I’d never have known otherwise. The viewpoints were beautiful and they felt like a real treat after the hike. From the start point I wasn’t sure if I’d make it to the lookout tower but we did it and Laszlo was patient, chatty and made sure we moved at a comfortable pace. Highly recommend this original excursion in Budapest- thank you Laszlo!

This was such a fantastic experience whilst visiting Budapest. Laszlo was a great tour guide for our easy morning hike across the surrounding hills. It felt really personalised, walking whislt we chatted about all things nature, culture, history and life in general. The lookout tower provided an amazing and unrivalled view and being surrounding by forest was a refreshing break from the busy noise of the city. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see a different side of Budapest and I have not stopped talking about it since I returned home to the UK. Thank you Laszlo - I look forward to booking a future hike when I make it back over there! :)

My hike with Laszlo from Trails of Budapest was so much more than what I expected. He is so knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of Budapest and pointed out a slow worm that isn’t a worm at all, wild mushrooms, death watch beetle trails and so much more. When he pointed out where we would hike to I wondered if I’d manage but he was so encouraging and before I knew it I was at the highest point in Budapest! I have to say, it was the highlight of my trip!

The hike with Laszlo was the highlight of my time in Budapest! It was very special to escape the city and see the beautiful surrounding area that a visitor may not normally get to see while learning about the history of the city, the local flora and fauna along with the challenges faced and conservation efforts needed to keep this beauty for future generations. Laszlo clearly loves his job, and is full of stories and chat for the walk! I could not recommend joining him on a hike more! 10/10 recommend.

An amazing hike with Laszlo and such a nice way to experience the country, and city from afar. One of our favourite experiences whilst staying in Budapest and definitely not one to miss. For us it was also nice to escape the city for a few hours.

Was a great day out, with plenty of areas covered. Paths and trails all very easy and nothing too rough. Pretty hot day, but the shade of most of the paths helped, and got some great shots of Budapest from a distance.

This was an amazing and memorable experience! Laszio's knowledge was only matched by his ability to convey it to us...and the wealth of information was so well suited to the exquisite terrain and scenery around us. If you're in Budapest or planning a trip there, do yourself a favour and step outside the usual, touristy highlights (although they are worth seeing too) to see another side of Budapest that too few tourists would know. Laszio combines history with information about nature, all while surrounded with spectacular beauty. Highly recommended!

A hike with Laszlo was an excellent experience. Laszlo is very passionate about what he does and it's great to see. It was very nice to get out from the busy Budapest center and explore the Buda Hills area which is way less touristy but very beautiful, pieceful with breathtaking views. You don't have to be an experience hiker or in top condition to enjoy it and I recommend it very much and would definitely do it again when I'm in town.

We had an awesome experience on our hike with Laszlo, our guide from Trails of Budapest! I found the hike on Viator and scoured the reviews to make sure it was a good fit for me, my husband and kids (18 and 15). It was perfect! The hike is capped at 10 hikers but we lucked out and it ended up just being our family of 4. Laszlo was great a communicating right when I booked and a day or so before the hike. We were staying on the Pest side of the Danube and took a taxi to the meeting point on the Buda side. We could have taken a bus or train but we didn't feel like figuring out the transit system! Either way Laszlo met us exactly where he said he would (even a few min early)! He had our bus tickets already and we headed off. Quick 20 min bus ride let is out right by the entrance of the park. He was great about taking any pace we wanted and stopping for photos, sharing an explanation of a bit of the history in certain places as well as the wildlife. AMAZING views from the top of Elizabeth lookout. Definitely do this hike with Trails of Budapest! You will not be disappointed! It was wonderful to get out of the city for a few hours! Enjoy!!

This hike was FABULOUS! I can't sing Laszlo's praises enough but I'll try! His communication before, during and after the hike was fantastic. We hiked to some beautiful places (outside of Budapest) and it was nice being out of the city for a bit away from all the tourists! We had a small group which was perfect and very manageable and we all seemed to go at the same pace. We lucked out with the weather but honestly, I would have hiked in the rain if I had to so that I wouldn't miss this adventure. Do yourself a favor and sign up for this - you won't be disappointed. Thank you for an awesome memory Laszlo!

This was a fantastic hike! As the other reviewers have mentioned, Laszlo was top notch! Interesting, fun and literally kept us moving! We saw some amazing sights. I cannot recommend this hike enough! You will not be disappointed! Thank you Laszlo for an amazing adventure!

My hike to the highest point in Budapest was the highlight of my trip! Laszlo was very informative and enthusiastic about the local area. Great conversation and beautiful views. Thank you! :)

Laszlo is a great guy, and it was a pleasure hiking with him. He is very knowledgeable, and has a deep understanding and respect for Hungarian nature. We had a great time exploring, and I’m sure we will come again on a longer hike with Laszlo, next time we are in Budapest!

Budapest has many beautiful castles, government buildings, and churches, but if you are looking for a different sort of experience and getting out into nature, this is your chance. Laszlo was a great guide, taking us out into the Buda Hills and off the beaten path. His English is excellent and he knows a lot about the plant and animal life in the area, as well as showing us some sites relevant to World War II history. It was a very small group so he tailored the trip to our pace and length. Wonderful views from the top of several hills. I loved the time we spent with Laszlo on this hike!

Laszlo is very welcoming and knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of Budapest so we were in good hands as we set off for greener surroundings. A short bus trip out of the city and you are in the crisp air of the countryside. Good walking pace with plenty of time for photos of the landscape. A really good ramble and decent workout to work up an appetite for later. You'll get to see a really good vista of Budapest and surroundings and learn some history as you go. A really enjoyable trek.

Amazing walk with an excellent and knowledgeable guide! We discussed everything from history and plants to daily life in Budapest. It was a wonderful way to get to know the city and its people.

Good hike with a great guide! Not a difficult hike but wear some decent shoes for trekking dirt and rocks. Lovely views, gorgeous landscape. Laszlo was very friendly and informative. He had a great knowledge of history, flora/ fauna and you could tell he loves what he does. He also showed us a great bird watching app, which I am using everywhere I go now! A simple but delicious Langos lunch and break to see a train station with a little surprise. Great view of the hills from observatory. Quiet, easy hike for nature lovers.
