First time visit

Our first time in Budapest. Love the architecture of the old buildings and the fact that you renovate and not tear them down. Our driver, Dan, was very personable, knowledgeable and a great driver. We would ask for him again if we came back to Budapest in the future.

Awesome!

Our tuk-tuk was so much fun. Very educational and informative. One of our drivers, Robbie, had young children so he was able to gear information to include them. Peter and Tom were also fantastic guides.

Great 3 hour Budapest tour

Ben provided an outstanding experience for my wife and me. He picked us up at our hotel and tailored our tour to include sites we had not yet seen on our visit to Budapest. It was educational and a great time. We enjoyed the goulash at the end of the trip, which was across the plaza from St. Stephen’s Basilica. Definitely recommend.

Top experience for a massively inflated price.

Robert, our very friendly TukTuk driver, did an excellent job. We could visit all the many highlights of Budapest in a short time and got many additional tourist infos. The entire trip was a pure pleasure. The weather was perfect too. Robert shot some nice pictures of us sitting in the vehicle. We would highly recommend this type of sightseeing. The downside of this adventure is: we paid a lot more than the official price. Instead of EUR 75.- per person for a 2.5 hour trip as published we paid EUR 118.- per person. We also got neither street food nor goulash soup as promised. Whoever's fault this was, it leaves a bad feeling. Therefore, we give a five star rating for the experience, a two star for the pricing.
