5.00Very nice way of seeing Budapest and getting hints for the rest of the trip. The driver was very friendly and service minded!
Expensive but worth it

5.00László Széplaki Was our driver, he was on time, commuted well before our trip about pyr meeting place, very courteous and knowledgeable. He drove us to places that we have not been to and let us take pictures. Kids loved the experience and they are still talking about it. We highly recommend this experience, expensive but it was worth it. If you think about it, you will spend just as much renting car/ paying for uber to see the whole city. This was 3 hrs of tour, and we were not exhausted from walking. Worth it.
Fantastic experience, a must if you want to explore all of Budapest in 3 hours!

5.00This is such a fantastic way to see the city. I scheduled it for our first day there because I knew that we would be jet lagged. It was the perfect way to get the lay of the land while respecting everyone's energy levels. We did run into a snafu on our trip because of a charity race and Laszlo with Retro Tour did a FANTASTIC job of compensating for it. Definitely do this! My only regret is forgetting to have our picture taken in the Jeep!

4.00It was a fun experience driving through town in the jeep. It was a great highlight of all the sites. There was a recorded overview of each site as we passed it which was nice. The driver was friendly and provided refreshments during our ride. It would have been a rating of 1 more star had they driver added his own insight during the ride but nevertheless it was an interesting and fun tour.
