Reviews
Gemma
An original way to get to know the surroundings of Budapest, Szentendre and the banks of the Danube.
Christiane
Super friendly and helpful people on site, we were provided with everything we needed, the bikes (e-bikes, great quality!!!) were adjusted on site and everything was explained patiently! We were given information about the route and boat connections, everything was very friendly and returning the bikes was no problem at all!!! All in all, highly recommended!!!
Jessica
I had a fantastic experience on the e-bike trip to Szentendre with Adam! As a solo traveler, I felt very comfortable right away, Adam was welcoming, flexible with timing, and answered all my questions about the area with genuine enthusiasm. The e-bike ride itself was smooth, relaxing, and not tiring at all, making the journey just as enjoyable as the destination.

This tour was great! Adam, our guide, was very kind and helpful! Ebike was in excellent condition and I really enjoyed it. Bike path was beautiful and Szentedre was lovely small village. I would strongly recommend this tour to everyone!
Reychal
We had a great tour! It was so insightful and relaxing. We saw everything we wanted to see and learned so much about the city.
Ronald F.
The bikes were good. We were not provided with a lock which was inconvenient, nor a repair kit. The people were pleasant at the rental shop. The track instructions were not adequate - recommend drawing a map with written instructions.
Louise
We really loved riding bikes beside the Danube. The instructions we were given by the bike hire shop were clear and easy to follow.
Tanja
We rented e-bikes for the tour and took the train back, which worked absolutely smoothly. We got the train tickets for the return journey straight away and we were super happy with the e-bikes. The tour to Szentendre is really nice and varied and we really enjoyed it. The place itself is of course quite touristy but still worth a trip. The town is really beautiful and has a very special charm - we had a nice meal there and the many small shops are also worthwhile. In addition to the map that we got from the very friendly bike shop owner, we also used a bike app with the corresponding tour on our cell phone, which we would recommend, especially for the first third of the route. Price/performance was top for us.

How much time do you need in Szentendre?
- A half-day is a good amount of time to spend in Szentendre, meaning a full morning or a full afternoon. It's enough to roam the old town, walk to the hill and admire the view, enjoy a snack, stroll along the Danube, and maybe even visit a museum.
- A day trip to Szentendre is ideal and it's 40 minutes from Budapest by train. There's lots to see in this charming town on the Danube Bend.
- Many will say that after a couple of hours you have mostly explored the streets and the stores, and possibly a church or two, and then you are ready to eat something before heading back to Budapest. The city has a great atmosphere, but it lacks additional programs, so unless you just want to relax, eat some good food, and drink coffee, without doing too much other stuff, you could stay for days. However, if you want interesting programs, lots of museums, a wide selection of restaurants, and other programs, it is better to stay in Budapest and only spend a couple of hours or half-a-day in Szentendre.
- You can spend an adventure-filled half a day in Szentendre with some advance planning. Szentendre's food scene has a long way to go, but there are a few cafés and restaurants that won’t disappoint.
