Budapest Hidden Gems: Caves, Churches and Cellars Private Tour
Please read before booking.
If you are done with the highlights of Budapest and want to see something more off the beaten track, I invite you on this singular journey into the southern districts of Buda (New Buda and Budafok).
We start by visiting one of the most unique churches of the city: the cave church, hewn into Mount Gellert, which has a fairly recent history.
We continue with a one-of-a-kind dwelling place: a cave dwelling turned into a small museum, still inhabited a few decades ago. Prior alignment for this place is required, as such this may not work with a last minute booking.
We finish our journey with the Zaborszky wine cellar/catacomb, which is part of an extensive cellar system spawning under the district. Wine tastings are available here.
Depending on your possibilities and opening times, the sequence of places may be different. Please have a working contact (whatsapp) available for prior alignment of details. In case it is required, I can organise a car/van.

What's included in Budapest Hidden Gems: Caves, Churches and Cellars Private Tour
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
The Cave Church in Budapest is one of the most unique religious sites of the city built in the 30' by the only Hungarian monastic order: the Paulines. It was closed down during communism to be reopened after the Fall.
This cave dwelling is a unique little museum tucked away in the southern district of Budapest and is the last one of its kind that can be visited. It is a testimony to how workers lived here in the late 19th early 20th centuries.
Zaborszky Kuria - Borvaros
Once part of a huge cellar system spawning throughout the southern part of Buda (today Budafok, formerly Promontor), this cellar still functions today as a visitor and events center, museum, restaurant and wine cellar. Beyond just simply visiting it, you can optionally also have lunch or a wine tastings here. Our focus lies with the museum part.
