The Best Way to See the City

5.00If you want a unique view of the city, this is the tour for you. It was easy to schedule the tour and the operator was very communicative and helpful. He picked us up at our boat and even accommodated 2 extra participants the morning of the tour. During the tour, we were offered a variety of beverages and even some local Plinka. The ladies received beautiful post cards at the end of the trip. We were always parked in convenient places with adequate time to visit various sites. The operator uses a recorded narration for specific sites and then adds commentary and even suggested several restaurants and things to do. Riding in the historic vehicles was unique and fun allowing us to see far more than we would on a hop-on hop-off bus. I would do this again in a minute. Great service, great value, convenient, and fun.
Great Budapest tour!

Fitted in so much in 3hr time slot, it was fabulous introduction to Budapest. Water and prosecco on board and Peter helped us all get in and out of the vehicle at every stop. Very kind and courteous. Would definitely recommend.

5.00We did this city tour with my colleagues and it turned out to be a really special experience. Driving around Budapest in an open-top vehicle almost felt like being on a safari, which made the whole sightseeing adventure much more exciting than a typical tour. The guide was feiendly, the route was well planned, and we got some amazing photos. Highly recommended!

3.00Visited or passed most tourist sights. Audio played in vehicle to give tourist information on place you are heading to or passing. On booking, many places were to be stopped at for photo opportunity. Driver friendly but tour is booked for 3 hours, I was dropped back at my hotel in just under 2 hours......
perfect and unique must-do experience
