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 :)

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!

Big Bus Hop-On Hop-Off Sightseeing Tour

Quite good, I recommend it for your first day in Budapest to see a bit of the whole city and stop where you want but for only 1 day the journey is always the same so for 2 days it's not very useful. The entire walk without stopping is 1h30, you have an audio guide in all languages and a map in paper version. The boat trip was good but too many people on the boat, we weren't able to get on the top of the boat which was a real shame

Guided Downtown Electric Bike Tour

Excellent experience, very kind, helpful and prepared guide. He accompanied us to the most interesting points of the city and gave us a brief explanation for each one. The bikes were of good quality, worked well, although the seat was a little hard considering the length of the tour. Price a little high, still highly recommended.

Guided Downtown Electric Bike Tour

We have only had great experiences with city tours with bike tours - ideal for getting an overview and basic information. We had Thomas as a German-speaking guide and it was exciting, informative and fun. The wooden e-bikes were great, the support was always right on all inclines. Clear recommendation!

Guided Downtown Electric Bike Tour

Husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Ester. She was quite knowledgeable, with detailed information (but not too much so as to overwhelm us). Often guides pack so much info into tours, we don’t remember much at all, but Ester had the perfect amount of information so we could actually retain what we were learning. She was wonderfully patient with taking pictures and attentive to safety (especially considering we had a novice on our tour). Very professional but accessible. The bikes were high quality, well-maintained and easy to ride. Helmets are provided, though optional. Highly recommend the tour - and Ester.
