5.00This was an amazing way to see Budapest, especially if you’re short on time. Our guide, Laszlo, was very hospitable and knowledgeable—a true host. In addition to driving past major sights, the tour included stops at four iconic locations where we could explore on our own. Riding in a Russian Jeep made the experience even more exciting!
A perfect way to see the city

5.00We were a group of 8, 4 couples, and we went for the standard 3h tour in two Jeeps. Everyone kept thanking me for the initiative both during and after the trip, and we all agreed that this really was a superb experience. Before reservation we were a bit unsure if 3 hours was a bit much, but afterwards we were really happy about our choice. The combination of driving and the duration of the stops was more or less perfect.
We loved this tour. It is...

5.00We loved this tour. It is a private tour so we were never waiting on others. The jeep was able to get us closer to places than the typical bus tour. We had a beautiful day so the open jeep was wonderful. The tour operator was very accomodating.
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!

5.00Picked up from our apartment, our guide Peter was excellent. Took us to all the main sights, allowed time for photographs and showed us where to go for the best viewd of the city. 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!
