City Bike Tour with Coffee Stop

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 :)

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.
