4.00Buses run regularly, easy to hop on and off. Stay downstairs if it’s raining or snowing as although the roof is out on, the side are not always so the seats have puddles in them.

3.00The buses varied in comfort. It was -1 and some still had open sides. One bus even broke down. The quality of audio was also variable from not working at all to cutting off mid sentence. The Danube trip was also pointless ! All the windows were streamed up and there was no information given at all so you had no idea at all what was happening outside!
Slow, uncomfortable and uninformative

1.00The traffic in Budapest is so bad it took hours to get around the route. You should also be aware that the bus stops for the driver to take a rest for 35 minutes at the most remote spot on the tour and we were put off the bus. We were told to get on the next bus but that driver still had 20 minutes of his rest to take so we had to stand in the rain until we were allowed to board. The recording on board cut off at the start of each section so a lot of information was lost. It may have been more enjoyable in summer months but best avoided in the winter.
Not the best experience

2.00All the audio on the left hand side of the upper deck were not working. We weren’t told we could use either this bus operator or the red bus which apparently we could. As we were not told we let 2 red buses go until the big bus came and it was below zero!!

1.00River Cruise was exceptionally poor. No information given as to how to access information. Bus was poor too. Rude driver ignored us when we tried to get off.
Boat tour waste of money.

2.00Don’t bother with boat tour. Cold, wet. Downstairs you can’t see for the condensation on the windows. Whole tour no running commentary. Don’t know what we were looking at. Waste of money.
Disappointed. Got kicked...

2.00Disappointed. Got kicked off one bus early, they stopped our route because they were scheduled for a private event. Then, another bus never showed up at our stop, it was 4pm and very cold.
Good tour package!
