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.

Our guide was just great and we had an unforgettable day. Since we were traveling with 9 people, including two pairs of grandparents, we got a bit off schedule and the guide was so nice and accompanied us through the city for over 11/2 hours longer than originally thought. The additional effort was absolutely limited, so that we saw everything, could go at our own pace and spent a great day together. She showed us all the important sights, showed us little secrets and hidden corners, paused with us in a beautiful coffee and then said goodbye to us in the castle district to a very tasty and inexpensive eatery.

It’s a beautiful building, calm and relaxing environment. It was clean and very peaceful. Get there early to secure a sunbed with an umbrella. I got a day ticket and stayed for 4 hours. It’s a shame they don’t do half day tickets.

We spent half a day with Péter Balogh, who informed us very competently about the history and the individual sights of the city. But we would also like to emphasize that Péter speaks excellent German and was therefore able to tell one or the other anecdote in a very humorous way. So: If you want to get to know Budapest, in German, through a likeable contemporary, you should come back to Péter...

Really relaxing day needed after our travelling, I was worried about it being 'too touristy', but that wasn't the case. It was a calm, respectful atmosphere in a beautiful building with amazing thermal baths. The cabins are only a UK sized cubical, but made it much easier to drop things off/get changed etc without stress. Food and drinks cost a bit more than other places, but no more than expected. Everything was clean and well ordered. I spent a lot of time researching the best thermal spa for our stay and I'm glad this was the one I landed on. The sunny weather helped, but being restricted to indoors would be fine too. Note: the wave pool isn't in action, but is a nice outdoor pool. I suggest you go to the steam room then brave the plunge pool to feel refreshed!

Eva our guide is a wonderful woman. The tour was amazing reach of so many informations she provided us that we wanted to write everything down. She is really like the perfect guide should be. Gentle, kind, emphatic, full of knowledge about the history and not only. It was a great experience thanks to her. We are really satisfied. Thank you Eva!

lovely spa, quieter than the main one and the private locker rooms are super useful! you need swimming caps to use the indoor thermal bath but outside was nice since it was a hot day. only negative is that there were limited affordable food options, the minimum you will be spending if you are there all day is probably ~10€ on food

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.

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!
