One vehicle, two perspectives, double the adventure.

Details

Discover Budapest by land and water on a unique floating bus tour — without ever changing vehicles. Travel through the city’s lively streets in the comfort of an air-conditioned bus before experiencing the thrill of a splash into the Danube.

The route begins at Széchenyi István Square and continues along József Attila Street, Andrássy Avenue, Heroes' Square, Dózsa György Street, and Dráva Street — offering a panoramic overview of the Hungarian capital’s most iconic areas. Then comes the highlight: the spectacular “splash” as the amphibious bus rolls directly into the Danube.

Enjoy approximately 20 minutes cruising along the river, taking in the elegant skyline from the water. After returning to shore, the journey continues via Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Street before arriving back at Széchenyi István Square.

Instead of choosing between a city bus tour and a river cruise, experience the best of both worlds on this one-of-a-kind adventure — the first floating bus tour of its kind in Europe.

Jadon G.

The slightly different city tour :-) Simply great and highly recommended to everyone! Thanks to the captain who navigated our bus safely and skillfully through the stormy waves of the Danube and stayed on course. The whole team is extremely friendly, flexible and great. Thanks!

It was a nice experience. As soon as we got on we were given disposable headphones to listen to the guide. We first took a tour through the streets of Budapest, then we "dived" into the water alongside Margaret Island for a short period, and then we continued our tour by land to the starting point. the moment I liked most was the dive: A beautiful and unforgettable experience; the moment I liked least was the ride in the water: nice, but I expected more.

This all went to plan booked in UK, instruction we great. You do small tour of city which gives you good ideal of thinks to see we booked for that reason on our 1st day of break. you then go into the river and you can see the outstanding buildings and bridges . you are then taken back to pick up point .

I am delighted!!! I read different reviews, but curiosity took over) someone previously wrote that it was boring on the water .. and slowly walking ... did not notice this)) !! Very cool trip! Near the parliament, the bus makes a turn and back!!! All with humor ( Excursion ) the only bad thing is that the bus was pasted over with a film (from the sun) if you plan to take pictures, like me ...))) I advise everyone !! You will not regret!! Guys, thank you very much!!!

The information on how to use the headphones was insufficient. It would have been easy if the accompanying staff had offered help. There was no information whatsoever on the way back ashore. The windows of the bus would have to be anti-reflective so that proper photos / films can be made. Nevertheless, the tour was a nice experience.

You can see a lot of the city cheaply and taking the bus into the water is an experience in itself. Meeting point is super easy to find, staff was very nice

Bus tour was good and and commentary was ok . However they said for all passengers to wear masks for the duration. At least 14 people on the bus did not wear face coverings and were not enforced to do so . This was off putting and dampened the trip

Sometimes the audio was out of sync, wish there was a bit more audio commentary as I felt myself drifting off to the classical music, but otherwise the whole experience is impressive and not badly priced.
