Great tour of Budapest!

This Private Tuk Tuk tour is an incredible way to explore Budapest in just 2 1/2 hours! Our tour guide/driver Martin was exceptional! He made sure to include every one of the locations I wanted to see. Martin was very accommodating and very knowledgeable, sharing so many wonderful stories and history with us. I highly recommend booking this tour! The company was also wonderful to work with. Communication with them was a breeze. They responded very quickly to any and all questions I had ahead of time making it a most enjoyable experience.

Don’t hesitate- TukTuk tour of Budapest is fabulous

Our TukTuk tour with driver/guide David was the highlight of our time in Budapest! He asked what we were interested in seeing and designed the tour around that. His English was very good and he was very knowledgeable and entertaining. It was our first TukTuk tour and now we are converts and will do them whenever we can in our travels. We booked thru Viator and we were in Budapest on a Viking River Cruise. David picked us up and dropped us off at our dock!

See the city a different way!

Peter was great. My mother is 85 and it was nice getting closer to sites without a lot of walking. A fun way to see the city.

Great tour!

We loved this experience. Please note it is bumpy and loud. BUT the guides are first rate. Have a plan up front - what you want to see. We went back to the most interesting spots the next day.

Wonderful!

Great experience with Tomi from Tuk Tuk Tours. He arrived on time, customized our trip to visit the sights we wanted to see, arranged parking for us to photograph where we desired, and was very friendly and personable. We had great conversations throughout the tour and he had a deep knowledge of the locations and history. Tour could not have been better and we recommended him most highly!
