Premium Daytime Cruise with Tokaj Frizzante

Beautiful ship, enclosed so it was warm but you could go up top with blankets. Glass of Prosecco included and had a nice menu of additional drinks. Lasted about 60 mins and have great views up and down the Danube. Only think I would want to add is some narration. We didn’t always know what we were looking at

Segway Sightseeing Tour

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.

Amazing Sightseeing Cruise on the Danube with fresh drinks

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 💕

Sightseeing Tour by an Electric Tuktuk

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!

Premium Daytime Cruise with Tokaj Frizzante

Comfortable lounge chairs on deck, good champagne, friendly crew. It's just a pity that there is no (audio)guide. I was missing the information on how / when to download this online guide. Apart from that: Honestly, who wants to read while on a boat trip and not rather enjoy the view?

Premium Daytime Cruise with Tokaj Frizzante

I was lucky to see the ads of this boat trip. Cozy, comfortable and well managed trip, service was amazing, drinks were delicious and views of course- breathtaking. I would recommend smaller boat as Duna cruise, because they look and feel much better than bigger ones.

Segway Sightseeing Tour

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.
