We took the four- hour tour and it was such a great way to start our trip. Gabriella was fabulous! She gave us a terrific overview of Budapest & provided valuable insights and recommendations. We were able to really cover everything else on our own given we started with the tuk tuk tour.

We really enjoyed our 4 hour tour with David. He is very knowledgeable and loves to share his city with visitors. I highly recommend this tour and tour guide as well!
we had a great time our drivers Greg and Ben were great. We got to cover a lot of the city because of the TUK TUK tour.
The tour was wonderful. Our guide was great. He was very nice. I have mobility issues. He helped me to walk so I was able to see all the beautiful sights in Budapest.
The Turk til was a great way to cruise around Budapest. Get into tight spots see all the sites that are available. Our guide Zohon was enthusiastic well educated and extremely helpful in getting to know Budapest in four hours.
Excellent on every aspect. The tour guide was excellent person very nice and well informed. We recommend this tour and this tour guide as an exceptionally good
Loved this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He showed us all the best places to see and the views were amazing. He took us to the biggest market in Budapest where we got to purchase souvenirs like chocolate and wine made in Budapest. Highly recommend this tour.
Do NOT hesitate to book!!! There were 6 in our group and we each had our own Tuk Tuk with all 3 being fabulous guides all around Budapest ... both sides! They will accommodate where to pick you up as well as drop you off! A must do in this amazing place! I'd recommend doing this first thing as you will then know where to go afterwards! Our amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, drivers were Tommy, Gabor, & David ...all 3 top notch!!!
What a great way to see this beautiful city. Peter our guide was excellent not inly with his knowledge but his driving skills. He was very courteous and stopped when we wanted to tske photos. Highly recommended. Janice & Rex Australia
We had a great tour with Greg around Budapest. The Tuk Tuk made it so easy (saved a bunch of time and steps) and we got to see alot in 4 hours. It was definitely worth it!
We had a wonderful TukTuk tour in Budapest. Paul was a fabulous guide and made the tour fun, informative, and special. I am so glad that I booked this tour and recommend it highly!
David was wonderful. Tour can be customized and hits all the main sites, David then asked what else we wanted to see. This provides a wonderful layout of the area. David took us to some backroad locations and allowed plenty of time at each site to get out, take pics and use facilities. So knowledgeable and polite. David adds a personal touch with his own memories and experiences. Do this tour! Ask for David! Best memory of Budapest visit.
Great way to see Budapest Paul and Martin were very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating, we had a fabulous time and would recommend to any friend travelling to Budapest
After three weeks of traveling and so much to see we welcomed the respite from the walking tours. We have been fortunate to have some incredible tour guides in our travels but Gabriella exceeded all expectations. Her breadth and depth and ability to share her knowledge of Budapest was truly awesome! She listened to our must see list and enhanced the experience with enthusiasm. If you find yourself in Budapest be sure to request Gabriella! We look forward to our next TukTuk tour!
4 of us took the tour in tandem in 2 tuk tuks, one driven by Paul and one by Gabriella. We were out for 4 hours and covered the major sites on both sides of the Danube. That alone was special and a fun way to tour and learn but Paul and Gabriella took it to a whole new level. They are both smart, well informed, engaging and interesting speakers with good senses of humour. Throughout the tour there was an easy exchange of information, family background and questions and answers while learning much about Buda and Pest. Not to be missed.

Great Tuk Tuk tour! The tour covered lots of places that we could not have seen on our own in just 4 hours! David and Martin were very nice and very informative, making the tour and our time in Budapest all the more memorable. We highly recommend!
Ben was great. Very good Rnglish and took us to everything we wanted to see plus some off the beaten path places. Betty fun ride and great way to see Budapest.
This was our best tour experience in Budapest! Our guide/driver was very knowledgeable and friendly! He made sure we saw all of the sites we wanted to see and them some. Highly recommend!!
Dan was very knowledgeable about the city and its history. His English was very good and he had a pleasant personality. He was very informative and entertaining. The tuktuk was fun and we went all over town. He talked about a lot of historical sites and important buildings. We couldn’t go down the pedestrian streets but we will go back on town. Pick up and drop off was at our hotel. Th trip on our first full day showed us several places we want to go back to. Excellent experience. Recommend this trip and our driver Ben.
Our guide, Zoltan, was infectious with his love of his city and country and provided a wealth of knowledge. Riding around in a tuk tuk we were able to see everything, stop anywhere, and hop out and enjoy whatever spot caught our fancy.
Absolutely fantastic tour of Budapest! Tour was tailored to our group’s goals and timeline. Paul and the other 3 drivers made it fun, interesting, and enlightening- history of city, personal experiences, suggestions for dining and other activities. The Tuk tuks were safe, the guides were fun and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend the tour!
Greg was an excellent guide and a pleasure to be with. He had extensive knowledge of history and culture not only of Budapest but also of Hungary in general. Best way to get an introduction to the area. Highly recommend!
There were 8 of us in total. It was awesome!! The four guides stayed together with us all in four tuk tuk and showed us the city of Budapest. They were knowledgeable, funny, local, spoke great English and can get to many places cars and buses can’t get to. It’s a must to see this city!!!
We took the 4 hour TukTuk Budapest tour with Peter and it was fantastic! He asked us if we had a list of places we wanted to see, and we mentioned a few things, but then asked him to show is what he considered highlights. Peter was very knowledgeable and fun and riding in a tuktuk is a great way to get around. There were several spots where we could get out and explore on our own for 15 or 20 minutes too.
Fantastic! Paul was so lovely and incredibly knowledgeable. Best way to see Budapest.
This tour was a wonderful experience, a thoroughly amazing way to see the major sights of Budapest. Our tour guide was Paul, and he did a great job of weaving the historical story of Budapest to the geography, important buildings and monuments. If you are only able to visit Budapest for a couple of days, We would highly recommend starting your visit with this Tuk Tuk tour as it will provide you with an impressive overview of the city. We explored the heights of Buda (wonderful views) and the flatter more commercial Pest. Thank you Paul for a 10/10 experience.
Peter and Gabriella did a great job getting us around different parts of the city, history was accurate and well presented. We had time to wander a bit and get photos. We covered a lot in 4 hours and had a great time! Would highly recommend 👍☺️
This is a great way to explore the city. Peter and Gabrielle were terrific. Extensive knowledge of Budapest and the history.
Martin was extremely knowledgeable about Hungary’s history. He took us to unexpected places along with the places everyone wants to experience. He recommended an excellent restaurant and dropped us off so we could continue to enjoy Budapest. He made sure we knew the way back to our hotel. Thanks for the fun!
Our two hosts, Greg and Ben, were exceptional! Very knowledgeable and personable. Worked with us to provide the best possible experience.
It was a good way to see as many of the highlights in record time, at our pace. Guide was flexible, funny and somewhat responsive to our priorities.
We loved our four hour private tuk tuk tour with Greg! We were able to go to places you can normally not get close to. I loved all of the places he took us.Greg was extremely knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the history of Budapest. I would highly recommend this tour and it was worth the money!
Excellent experience. David was our tour guide and was wonderful. We saw so much of the city and had an amazing time
Had a great tour with Ben. It was our first time in Budapest and he took the time to explain the history of various sites. It gave us a blueprint of things we wanted to explore by ourselves later on. Highly recommend with Ben.
A great way to see Budapest and really learn about more than the regular tourist sights. Daniel was great and fun to talk to. The only problem was that it was difficult to hear him at times while we were driving due to the noise from traffic and especially the tuk tuk. A speaker system would be great! Overall we enjoyed our time.
Peter and Gabriel were amazing. Professional, personable and just bloody great!
Our guide Zultor was personable, professional, interesting, funny and a little crazy (in a good way). We learned a lot, saw a lot considering the fast pace of a half day tour, and got to see most of what we wanted to. Our guide was very flexible and tailored the tour to get in most of what we wanted to see.
This was the perfect activity to do our first day in Budapest. Not only is a Tuk Tuk a fun ride, our driver, Zoltar, was fantastic! He spent 4 hrs showing us everything first time visitors should see. He was tremendous knowledge of the city and sights. Would highly recommemd this as a way to get a taste of all the city has to offer.
We've done a ton of Tuk Tuk Tours in our travels and this was one of the best. A solid itinerary that managed to get all the big ticket items of a city like Budapest done in 4 hrs. From that point of view alone it was worth it. But when you have a guide like Ben, well that's just more reason to reccomend this tour. Ben is personable, professional and super easy to get along with. Clearly passionate about his city and its ong and colourful past, his formal knowledge coupled with his practical experiences and easy clear manner helped flesh out Budapest in a way we didn't expect. He paced the tour well and we never felt rushed or like we'd missed anything. He was also very happy to suggest dining and bar options, avoiding the Tourist Traps. We cant recomend this tour highly enough & if you get Ben as your Guide... well you've hit the Jackpot!! 5 Stars

Such a great way to get up close to the city and to see it without the reflections of bus windows. The guides were personable, knowledgeable, and willing to tailor your tour to your desires.
Wonderful introduction to Budapest for first time visitors. Norbert was an amazing guide and he provided a mix of touristic cultural and funny tidbits about his city.
David waa absolutely FABULOUS! He asked whst our interests were and then took us to the sights that fit that. David was very knowledgeable and patient with my many questions. I highly reccomend David as a tour guide.
Really good! I would diffentally tell anybody to book a ride like this. The guides tell you the whole history of budapest. They also know a ton about the map of budapest. They ride to you a ton of different spots that are absolutely lovely and buetiful. I really loved it and would want to go again.
Our family (6 of us ages 12 through adulthood) loved this tour! The guides (Ben, Roberto, and Gabriella) were super friendly and knowledgeable. They gave a great tour! We wouldn’t have changed a thing. It was the highlight of our visit to Budapest!
Such an informative tour to get a feel of the whole area of Budapest. Gabriella was an excellent tour guide. So much knowledge, friendly & keen to tailor the trip to suit our needs.
There was great flexibility with driver asking us what we wanted to see. Great way to see as much as possible in a limited time.
We had a tour with Martin and he was excellent, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the whole experience. He was very knowledgeable and knew so much about the city. It was very a great experience and i would thoroughly recommend it.
Great guide, got to see all the amazing sights in this capitol. Plenty ot time to take amazing photos. Guide was very informative and helpful. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Our tuk tuk tour in Budapest was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized, comfortable, and enjoyable, and it gave us a wonderful overview of the city in a relaxed and personal way. David was an excellent driver and guide: very professional, friendly, attentive, and full of knowledge about Budapest’s history, culture, architecture, and hidden stories. He made every stop interesting and helped us understand the city much better. The tuk tuk was a fun and convenient way to explore. We highly recommend this tour, especially with Dave as your guide. Truly a memorable experience.
