If you are travelling with a group of 15+, send an enquiry  for a special offer. This arrangement is subject to the number of people and the availability of the necessary number of guides. The arrangement might also mean individual pricing, subject to the number of people and the number of guides needed.

In the PRELUDE TOUR, the fee covers the tour guide and a single metro ticket.

In the GYPSY CULTURE TOUR, the fee covers the tour guide. 

We are open for all age groups. However, we do not recommend the tours for children under 12 (unless they are exceptional musical talents), as the tour might be too tiring and lengthy for them, and the topic perhaps less than ideal for youngsters. 

However, if you decide to bring children under 12, please, understand that the guide has the right to ask you to leave the tour at any time should the behaviour of your children be considered to be detrimental to the enjoyment of the tour by other participants (see Terms and Conditions).

Minors (children under 18 in Hungary) must be accompanied by an adult.

The walking tours are not physically demanding. However, you’ll need to be fit enough to walk for around two hours  on relatively flat ground. 

If you have symptoms, for the sake of other guests, please consult us in advance, and we will try to arrange a rescheduling or a refund.

Guests with wheel-chairs, please, read the relevant section in this FAQs.
