4.00Great way to get an introduction to the city and useful transportation to key areas of exploration. Commentary was not quite as good as some other HOHO experiences in other cities.

2.00Could be good! BUT Hellish mist preventing any pretty good vision of the city! Just open the roof or ventilate a minimum!!! A shame. Because despite the cold, you need to know what you want comfort for a visit of m.... Or a good vision of the city!!!! To avoid... Better walk... Walking .... Walk! Bus in these conditions: no interest
Poor service !! Not enough seats !!! 😡

2.00I am afraid I score it low for several reasons. Firstly we struggled to find pick up on first morning as we were looking for the Big red bus.It seems you operate on both the Big bus and another operator which we were unaware of. Second morning we had to get off the bus as it was stuck behind a tram and couldn't move. We ended up trawling the streets in Budapest as we were unaware of our route no other buses followed due to the blockage of traffic. On our journey home the bus driver set off before my husband had got to his seat upstairs. He has injured his rib as he was slammed into the hand rail on the stairwell,if you have cctv you can see this ,it was on tge 2nd Dec. This was discussed with the young lady at the front of the bus as we dissembarked. It was also witnessed by the other passengers on board. Apparently before we boarded the driver had a altercation with a van driver also traffic rage,we don'tknow if had to catch up on his time. The third evening we waited for at least 15-20 minutes in pouring rain. Feel this was our worst experience with a hope on and off which we used around the world. We still may need to consult a doctor regarding his pain / injury. Very dissapointed. June Spavin
Don’t bother

3.00This did not add much value to our trip. The free river trip was not good , the windows were so misty up you couldn’t see anything . It was hard to find the bus stops and when we did get on a bus , it was rather chaotic and stopped mid Way as we told to get off with a blunt ‘Bue Bye’ !
