Our family of 5 had a wonderful time on the tour. Our tour guide Nora was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the history and Buda and Pest and took time to explain all the sites. She even helped our daughter practice her Hungarian. Some of our favorite sites were Hero’s Square and the Castle in Buda. We had a delicious traditional Hungarian lunch and they accommodated for our gluten and nut allergies. Rounding out the tour was the cruise in the Danube which was incredible to see the sites from the river. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Unfortunately for us the weather was awful. It had just started to snow and therefore it was difficult to see outside as the boat got all steamed up. However the skipper did open the window for a short while so we could take some photos. I’m sure in the summer it would be wonderful. We liked not having other people with us as we saw the big boats were really busy. I would definitely recommend this if there’s a group of you.

We thought we were mad going on such a cold day, experiencing Budapest’s worst snow in five years. However, Szombor was an excellent tour host, full of enthusiasm about his home city, making us comfortable and providing us with blankets & hot tea to keep us warm. He also kept us informed with loads of information about important local landmarks and helped us appreciate the back story of Budapest.

Daniel met me like an old friend in Budapest. He knows every corner very well. And he explains the history with so much passion. He also takes care of everything you need on te tour- including hot beverages, water, warm blankets and much more. The ride is totally worth every penny because Budapest is such a huge city and there can be so many tourist traps. But Daniel is the most genuine guide I have ever had and I would HIGHLY recommend booking his tour. Thanks Daniel for making me fall in love with Budapest!

Excellent value for money and a really great tour- Dori was lovely and very professional, teaching us a great deal about the city and its history. We were able to take breaks off the bus for photographs and to see selected sites. Overall was a really great experience- thanks Dori (and driver)

Such good value, get the time of sunset and add one hour to make sure you get the lights. As others have mentioned get in line early to secure a spot on the top deck. We arrived about 45 mins early and were first in line. You collect your tickets from the booth just next to the pier, simple process. Loved seeing the lights and buildings from this perspective. This charter boat was much better than others as it had cover over the top deck just in case of rain.

Enjoyed the tour very much! A cruise with music is very nice and tasty. The musicians played well, the music was well chosen. I especially want to thank the organizers of the tour for their support and care! ♡ We didn't get lost much on the road, but with the help of you we got there almost on time. There were very pleasant impressions!!! Thank you 💕

Helmet and Segway were fine. Beautiful route, guide knew a lot. Stopped along the way for photos and explanations. The group had 5 participants. It can be busy on the road and there is a lot of work on the road and on buildings in the city. You also have to pay close attention to the traffic, you cannot follow the guide indiscriminately. After an introduction and practice on the Segway, we made another tour of two hours.

Very nice moment, romantic decor, well-cooked and hearty meal, music that takes local or more jazzy standards, and above all, the spectacle of the banks of the Danube illuminated by the emblematic monuments of the city, Bridges, Parliament, Mathias Church, Castle. ..Not to be missed, good value for money.

Our guide, Balint (apologies if I've spelt this wrong) was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and interesting. Took us all around the city. I would highly recommend this particular tour as I found it great value for a three hour guided tour on e bikes.

Lovely boat that had an old fashioned feel about it . Food was good & drinks were decent . The folk band played a good selection of songs . Only downside was our waitress for the evening never showed up after the first 10 minutes . Would do it again next time we visit

This was a fantastic experience with a brilliant guide. The nerves kicked in a little when signing the waiver but the Instructions given and the opportunity to practice put them at ease. Fabulous way to see the city, would happily have carried on for longer if we could. Wrap up warm if doing this in the winter months as it can get a bit chilly - we were greeted back at the centre by the lovely staff and hot tea. Really highly recommend this tour.

Great ride with a lovely guide. Budapest is an ideal city for cycling trips - it's safe, lots of greenery, beautiful views. The perfect way to make friends with the city on the first day of your stay. Delicious cake and coffee in a nice restaurant. I highly recommend and wish you beautiful weather on your trip :)

This is my first time in Budapest and the tour is perfect for knowing the city and learning its history. My guide Szofia is the best not only she is born and grows up here but she always has some story to tell you at each street/site/building/statue. It feels that the names, events, and stories are her own treasures. BTW, she knows every corner of the street and will get you to the right spot for photos. The tour includes lunch and boat trip. The Hungarian food is so good and I cannot even finish it! BTW, we ran into a very special military ceremony event at the Millennium park. Thank you Szofia for a very nice full day tour.

Our tour guide Szofia was excellent. She was very knowledgeable about the beautiful city of Budapest and took her time to explain all the history and interesting facts about each aspect of the tour. Lunch was included and although my daughter is both vegetarian and has a gluten free diet, her needs were met and confirmed during the booking process. I can highly recommend this tour.

It was private and personal. A special night for just two people. Being a smaller boat it can’t go as far downstream as the larger boats but the trade off was worth it. No crowds, no rowdiness, just solitude and a perfect evening on the Danube sipping wine along the way. The boat got particularly close to the parliament building which was amazing at night. I would do this again in a heartbeat.
