What people love about Vienna Budapest Prague Tours
Holiday to Budapest-Vienna-Prague Holiday to Budapest-Vienna-Prague WhatsApp communication was easy to use and Hannah & Rose Amanda sent daily reminders and responded to any queries in a friendly, timely fashion. More information as to where to go to meet taxis at the train stations would be the only improvement. Great hotel choices easily walkable to the city centre. Prague hotel even offered free complimentary city pass and drink in a roof top bar of a sister hotel. Both boat tours included in the tour were great but the underground tour in Prague was a waste of time - better to replace with a castle tour. Thanks for a great holiday!

- Berlin to Budapest Group Rail Tour (18-35)
Just recently got back from the Iron Curtain tour and already have post tour blues! I enjoyed the trip immensely, met some fab people and felt like I laughed the whole week. I liked using euroventure as having everything planned out in advance took all the stress away compared to if I planned it myself. Big shout out to our tour leader David who was great to hang out with. He made the transitions between places and cities very easy and stress free. His sarcastic wit and humour made my week. He also had great knowledge on the sights we visited. The itinerary was jam packed with activities to do. Would highly recommend using Euroventure, will definitely be using them again!
Everything is excellent . We will use tour radar again for our future travels. I will also recommend your company to my friends and relatives. Thank you. The Velbis family

Best tour companies for Vienna Budapest Prague tours
Based on what our travelers have shared, Wingbuddy does well with the logistics - they're really good at keeping transfers running smoothly and on schedule. Though I should mention some people have run into issues getting clear answers about refunds, and there have been a few hiccups with hotel quality and reaching drivers. Prague Best Experience seems to be the more consistent option. Their guides Dasha and John get a lot of love from customers for really knowing their stuff, and they're pretty flexible about adjusting tours to what people want to see. The way they structure their tours makes sense too - everything flows nicely from one stop to the next. For river travel, Crucemondo's got comfortable boats with good food and helpful crew members. The one thing to keep in mind is their "there and back" routes mean less time in each port city. Some travelers mention wishing they had more time to explore, but the actual cruise experience itself is quite good. Each company has its strong points - it really comes down to what matters most for your trip. If you need solid transfer service, Wingbuddy could work well. For city tours with great guides, Prague Best Experience is probably your best bet. And if you're after a river cruise with good onboard comfort, Crucemondo delivers that nicely.

Best places to start your Vienna Budapest Prague tour
Our numbers show Prague is the clear winner for starting points - 38 of our recent groups kicked off their trips there. Vienna comes in second with 18 groups and Budapest follows with 13 groups choosing these cities to begin their journey. Berlin holds its own too, with 11 groups starting from there. Here's a practical tip though: you'll want to book around 4.5 months ahead (that's 132 days if you're planning precisely). This is particularly important during summer when these multi-city tours fill up fast.
Discover Vienna Budapest Prague tours for every budget
For travelers watching their budget, several multi-city tours stand out for their value. Our most popular option gives you three nights each in Prague, Vienna and also Budapest, with train connections between cities and half-day guided tours in each place. You'll see Prague's Astronomical Clock and Charles Bridge, Vienna's Ringstraße boulevards and Schönbrunn Palace, plus Budapest's Castle Hill and Chain Bridge. Many of our budget-conscious customers particularly like having breakfasts included while keeping other meals flexible to explore local restaurants on their own. The tours include essential sightseeing but leave plenty of free time - perfect for visiting thermal baths in Budapest or finding local coffee houses in Vienna without paying for organized excursions.
Our luxury tours really shine when connecting these imperial capitals. We arrange private limo transfers, book five-star hotels right in the heart of each city and set up personalized guided experiences. In Prague, you'll kick off with champagne cruises on traditional glass boats, then get exclusive early access to Prague Castle. The Vienna portion gets you behind the scenes at Schönbrunn Palace and puts you in historic venues for evening classical concerts. Over in Budapest, private guides take you through the Castle District at sunset before you hop on a dinner cruise with Hungarian wine tastings. Our luxury clients tell us they love having local hosts on call 24/7 and the freedom to adjust daily activities as they go.

Small Group
31 tours in Vienna Budapest PragueSome operators keep their groups small, just 12-16 people, which makes for a more personal Central Europe experience. These smaller tours can visit places bigger groups miss - like family wineries in Mikulov or traditional restaurants tucked away in Bratislava's Old Town. You'll sometimes use local transport between cities, which adds a bit of authentic flavor to the trip. Guides can adjust timing and routes based on what the group wants to see.

Top Vienna Budapest Prague travel itineraries to fit your plans
Our quick 3-day regional tours focus on giving you the good stuff without the rush. Most start in Prague, where we'll get you around in a private limo and put you up in 5-star hotels right near the action. You'll walk through Prague Castle and Old Town with expert guides, then enjoy evenings filled with folklore dinners (drinks are all included) and river cruises. Some tours add nice extras like 90-minute massages or dinners in medieval taverns. Want to see beyond Prague? Our small-group Moravian UNESCO tour takes you through Tel\u010d's storybook center, T\u0159eb\u00ed\u010d's fascinating Jewish quarter and also the impressive Lednice-Valtice palace complex. The wine tastings in National Park Podyj\u00ed's vineyards are always a highlight for our guests.
A week gives you time to really sink into two or three cities. Most travelers go for Prague paired with Budapest, or do the full Prague-Vienna-Budapest route. Each city starts with guided walks - our customers love exploring Budapest's Castle District and Prague's medieval underground passages. You'll travel between cities on first-class trains, with private transfers to and from stations included. Many tours mix in special experiences like Budapest's thermal baths, Vienna's classical concerts and also evening river cruises.

With ten days, you can really dig into Central Europe. Most tours follow that classic Prague-Vienna-Budapest path but give you extra nights in each place. The longer stays mean more in-depth exploring - you'll visit Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace in Vienna, soak in Budapest's thermal baths and also walk across Charles Bridge in Prague. Our guests tell us they love having enough time to properly experience Vienna's coffee houses, Budapest's ruin bars and also Prague's Jewish Quarter. Many tours include local experiences like traditional tavern meals and dinner cruises with live music.
See all toursDemographics
River cruises work really well for solo travelers - you unpack once and get seated with friendly faces at dinner each night. Our independent guests love the weeklong Danube trips that mix city walks with free time to wander. The train tours between cities also get great feedback since you can join group activities but still do your own thing when you want. Many pick tours featuring Prague's underground passages, Budapest's thermal pools and Vienna's classical music scene. The evening programs help people connect naturally - Prague's dinner cruises and Vienna's wine tavern visits tend to spark good conversations and new friendships.
River cruises consistently rank among our most popular options for couples exploring Central Europe. The intimate setting of smaller cruise ships like the MS Swiss Splendor creates perfect romantic moments - our couples particularly enjoy evening drinks on deck while passing illuminated castles along the Danube. Many choose the Vienna to Budapest route with stops in charming towns like Dürnstein and Melk. The cruises include guided city tours but also leave plenty of free time to explore together. Recent travelers told us they loved having a "home base" while visiting multiple cities, with the bonus of only unpacking once. Several couples mentioned how much they appreciated the assigned dining tables, which let them meet other travelers while maintaining private time.
Young adults gravitate toward our multi-city rail tours that combine structured experiences with independent exploration. These usually run 9-15 days and hit Prague, Vienna, Budapest and also Bratislava. You'll get the essentials - like guided walks through Prague's Old Town and tickets to Vienna's Prater Ferris Wheel - but also plenty of free evenings to check out Budapest's ruin bars or Prague's jazz clubs. The pace keeps moving with regular city changes every few days. Many of our younger travelers really like staying at places like Vienna's Magdas Hotel, a social enterprise staffed by refugees that adds a meaningful dimension to their trip. The tours include enough structure to make navigation easy but leave room for spontaneous detours.
Our senior travelers consistently choose river cruises that offer a refined way to see multiple cities without constant hotel changes. The ships provide comfortable viewing of passing scenery from both private cabins and public spaces. Daily excursions are well-paced - you might spend a morning touring Vienna's Hofburg Palace, then have a relaxed afternoon cruising through the Wachau Valley. The ships dock right in city centers, making exploration convenient whether you join guided tours or venture out independently. Our older guests particularly praise the attentive crew service and opportunity to socialize with fellow travelers over meals. Several mentioned appreciating how the cruises balance cultural experiences with relaxation time.

Best time to visit Vienna Budapest Prague
- Spring 2025
Spring weather sets up perfectly for walking or cycling through these imperial cities. The Wachau Valley river cruises are at their best as vineyards start greening up and morning mist swirls around medieval castles. Our customers particularly enjoy mixing walks through Prague's Jewish Quarter with visits to Vienna's Schönbrunn Palace gardens in full bloom and also Budapest's Market Hall filled with spring produce. We time several departures to match Prague's classical music festival. Whether you're cruising or taking our land tours, spring visits to Bratislava's Blue Church and Melk's Benedictine Abbey give you great views without summer's bigger crowds.

Summer lets you make the most of long evenings - think dinner cruises on Prague's Vltava River and Budapest's Danube. Our most-booked multi-city trips mix morning guided walks with free afternoons for outdoor cafes and beer gardens. We include stops at wine regions like Mikulov and the Wachau Valley where summer really brings things to life. River cruises offer a nice balance with air-conditioned cabins but open-air top decks that are perfect for photos.

Fall paints these cities in autumn colors, especially along Vienna's Ringstrasse and Budapest's City Park. The Wachau Valley cruises look their best as vineyards turn golden and local wines hit their peak season. Our land tours line up nicely with harvest festivals and wine events between the main cities. Customers tell us they like how we mix cultural visits - touring Prague Castle and Budapest's Parliament - with seasonal touches like traditional wine taverns and cozy coffee houses. Whether you pick river or rail, autumn gives you nice temperatures for walking plus seasonal foods and wines that really show off Central European cooking at its best.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
The winter mood in Central Europe's capitals has its own special feel - fewer tourists around and Christmas markets adding warmth to city squares. Our river cruises make it practical: you'll stay cozy while moving between Vienna, Budapest and Prague, with all meals included and just one unpacking needed. Budapest's thermal baths are particularly nice in winter, especially after walking Castle Hill. If you prefer land travel, we've got tours combining train rides with city guides who know how to pace things right. Prague's underground Old Town tours are a customer favorite in winter months - these medieval chambers keep you out of the cold while sharing some fascinating stories. Vienna rounds things out nicely with concert halls and warm cafes serving sachertorte between your city exploring.

What Can You Actually Experience in These Cities?
In Vienna you've got to catch a classical concert at the State Opera House or watch those incredible horses at the Spanish Riding School doing their traditional moves. Budapest's famous for those amazing thermal baths - Széchenyi's the big one with incredible architecture and healing waters you can soak in. Over in Prague dive into the beer culture visiting traditional pubs and breweries or treat yourself to one of those unique beer spa experiences.
Where Can You Go to Avoid the Crowds?
Vienna's Museum Quarter is brilliant - loads of museums and galleries without the huge crowds you get at the main spots. In Budapest head to Margaret Island it's this peaceful green space right in the middle of the Danube with old ruins to explore. Prague's got this lovely spot called Kampa Island just below Charles Bridge where you can wander around art galleries and get amazing views without bumping into too many people.
What's the Best Way to Get Around Each City?
Vienna's tram network is brilliant and super affordable - use it with the U-Bahn subway for longer trips. Take the tram along the Ringstraße and you'll see all those beautiful buildings like the State Opera and Hofburg Palace. Budapest's got a great mix of metros trams and buses with handy multi-day passes that save you money. Prague combines trams and metro systems perfectly and walking tours are great in the old town. Grab a taxi if you're out late or need to get somewhere quick.
