Norbert was a great driver/ guide who showed us a few of the hidden gem sites of Budapest as we have seen most of the key sites. The citadel views were the best we have seen of the city. We highly recommend this tour!

You will see all of the best Budapest has to offer. Stunning views, remarlable architecture, and rich history.
Roberto and Robert were great. Recommend this tour very much
There were 4 of us with two tuktuk. The guides were amazing and creative. Told us so much about Budapest with humor and fun. Showed us great sites and ended us at the winery. So much fun!!! Robert and Paul were our two tuk tuk drivers! Oh my gosh, they were awesome!
This is the best way to see a lot of Budapest. Our drivers, Robert and Paul were great! The introduced us to a chimney cake, a must have. They also took us places off the beaten path and showed us things we would have never found on our own.
Paul was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He gauged our interest and covered all the places we wanted to see. We ended at
Martin was my well informed guide. He was punctual and very courteous. We journeyed all over Buda and Pest for over 3 hours. Martin’s history knowledge was vast and he was very good at sharing information tailored to my interests. I have bad knees so it was a great way to experience Budapest on my arrival.
We felt it was too expensive for what it was We only got to see maybe 1/2 of the sights on the Agenda. Our guide was not particularly friendly with us :-( The wine and Cheese plate was good at the wine bar However for $350 US dollars for 2 it is not worth that price in my opinion
David was at pick up point right on time. We had received sensational correspondence from Gabor. I would email from Australia at night and there was a response next morning every time. David took us to some great spots his local knowledge second to none. David personalised the tour for, he took the time ask us what we would like to see. He provided in depth about the local culture and geography. We would recommend David and Budapest tuk tuk to anyone. Thanks David and Gabor from Bron and Matt
We had such a wonderful time from beginning to end. Our driver - Paul - narrated the trip with stops at key places on the Buda side - which we had requested.
I was worried we wouldn’t hit all the highlight of the city so I booked this TukTuk tour so that at a minimum we would drive past them. Honestly, this was perfect to start our 5 days in Budapest! We didn’t just drive past, we stopped and walked and the tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the historical details at each stop. Highly recommend your first day at Budapest so you can get acquainted with the city and get an idea for where you want to go back!
If you are disabled, tall or elderly I don’t recommend this. I am all three. Very cramped back seat and very bumpy. The driver was good but he could not overcome my discomfort. We cut the tour from 2/12 hours to 1/12. I should get a refund
Norbert picked us up at our hotel (InterContinental Budapest) at the exact time that we scheduled. He asked if we had any special requests which was only to see the shoe memorial on the riverbank (which he did). We found Norbert very energetic and knowledgeable. He took us to both the Buda and the Pest sides of the city. On the Buda side he took us to an amazing overlook of the city which we would never have found on our own. This Tuk Tuk tour took us down small side streets which buses cannot get down. At the end we were delivered to an excellent wine and cheese bar that was included as part of our tour. We give this experience an A+!
This was a great way to get an overview of Budapest so we could plan our week. Norbert was full of energy and was excited to share the history of his beautiful city. It was great few hours.
An excellent trip finishing with a very nice cheese and wine tasting platter. Our guides (Gabriel and Norbert) were excellent. They were both friendly and polite and very knowledgable. We all had a great afternoon and fully recommend this trip.
Our guide Greg was excellent. Very knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommend to his tour! Sites were beautiful
Just an amazing experience zipping around the whole of Budapest. Saw everything and went everywhere! Splendid finish at DiVito with some fab Hungarian wines. Top choice
Tuk tuk was amazing and the guide was excellent. Don’t understand why more people don’t take tuck tucks there. However, the wine and cheese tasting was not worth it. Book that separately. And by the way, book the tuck tuck directly rather than through Vader and it will cost less
Great visit Ben was outstanding. we prefer these to other ways of viewing cities because they are personalized However this one was great normally the drivers now the areas, but Ben was actually a tour guide who happened to be a driver. Highly recommended
Our tour guide Robbie was great. He tailored our tour to places we had not seen yet. He spoke clearly and explained much of the history behind each location. Besides taking us to places that did not allow tour buses and always close to each location. The view from the highest point in Budapest was breath taking. We finished our trip after two hours in a wine bar close to our hotel and sampled 3 very good wines at DiVino with an included cheese plate. It was a fantastic tour.
We booked this tour for almost the minute we landed as we knew the City was large and we wanted to get a good feel for the whole area in a short amount of time whilst having lots of fun...and we most certainly had great fun!! Zoltan was our Guide who was a great quirky character. The love he has for his home city is very evident as he enthusiastically showed us so many sights almost as though he was seeing them for the first time himself. He was great at taking our photo in front of the main attractions. The traffic was quite busy but he did his best to take lots of back routes to ensure we got to see most things. Ending at DiVino wine bar for the wine tasting was fantastic as we learnt so much from the knowledgeable Anna and the cheese platter was most delicious too. I would 100% recommend this tour but be sure to wear suitable warm clothing as we went late April and we still needed our hats, gloves and scarves.
This excursion was the highlight of our trip! Zoltad was our guide. He is a rockstar! Very knowledgeable, fun and really customized our tour. Plus he took sone of the best pictures we highly recommend. The final stop at the wine bar was Fabulous! Great venue, great selection of wine and cheese. Enjoy!
A great afternoon seeing the wonderful sights and learning about the history of Budapest, we had a thoroughly enjoyable day
Wow! Loved it! Our driver and tour guide Peter was fantastic- he knew his stuff and we learnt lots about Budapest. We also had a great laugh which made it more enjoyable. It was chilly but they look after you with blankets, etc and stop off at some lovely landmarks with stunning views. The Tuk Tuk was great fun and we managed to see most of Budapest whilst we were were there for 3 days. We walked a lot of it but on the other side higher up in the hills this was perfect. They were prompt and picked up up from outside our hotel. We toured for 2 hours and then stopped off for cheese and wine tasting which really did put a nice end to a great afternoon. Really loved it. If you're going to do the trip in the winter months make sure you wrap up warm - its COLD! But well worth it for the experience. We loved it!
It was a cold day, but we dressed in layers and our wonderful tour guide provided blankets for us! Our tour guide was early (yay!), very hospitable, easy going and inquired what sites or areas we had already visited. As a result, we decided we wanted to see more of the Buda side of the city that we never would have seen otherwise. We learned about the day to day life here, the city's culture today, periods of government and occupation changes over the last 150 years and how we can still see evidence of such in various parts of the city. Budapest is HUGE! No way to cover on foot alone. Tuk Tuk and our Guide made a beautiful memory for my husband and I! We ended the tour seated at our reserved table facing St. Stephen's Basilica square at a local, and fantastic, wine and cheese restaurant. The tour and our time at the restaurant was 3 to 3.5 hours. It was very beautiful and worth every dollar!
The Tuk Tuk is very noisy so not that easy to hear what the guide was saying whilst travelling along, ok if you have done the bus tour before. Robbie the guide took us to the river where the locals go which we would not have seen on our own which was very good. It was nice to sit and relax in the square with the wine tasting at the end of the tour.
A great way to see this huge city. Visiting everywhere we did on foot would have been impossible! Paul was our guide and was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited: the bridges, the castle district, parliament building and everywhere in between. Answered any questions we had. We pretty much left it to him to where we went but he did ask if there was anywhere in particular we wanted to see. Blankets provided. Make sure you take hat/gloves as was cold at this time of the year. The wine tasting and cheese was nice at the end and the chance to warm up in the bar. Didn’t realise how cold I had got until we went into the warm. Definitely recommend this, and at the beginning of your trip so you can get your bearings and see where everything is.
Really enjoyed this.. fantastic way to see and learn about Budapest.. our guides Bart and Bart were so knowledgable about the history and facts of Budapest and gave us a great insight into everyday life too.. this is definitely a must when you busy.. I would suggest going on your first day so you get an idea of your surroundings.. the wine tasting was a pleasant add on.. the wine bar was nice and again staff were great.. wine was good too.. overall a really great couple of hours
So glad we decided on this tour! We had a brilliant afternoon seeing all the sights with our very knowledgeable tour guides and finished with lovely and informative cheese & wine tasting.... throughly recommend!
Best best best tour we did in Budapest a complete must our tour guide tu was thee best so much knowledge took us too all the best tourist destinations super friendly spoke perfect English after we had the wine an cheese tasting at a cute restaurant can't remember the name of the place but the wines were all beautiful and all Hungarian the cheeses yum all in all my fave tour wee took in Budapest
We had 2 Tuk Tuks. Christ and Mike were the best. They tailored our tour so that it would not duplicate our Segway tour. Would highly recommend.
We did this on a lovely sunny afternoon in April. Paul our guide was lovely very knowledgeable and took us to places could only get to in tuk tuk. And adjusted the sch duke to suit us. Cheese and wine after also very pleasant. Thank you for a great day.
Paul is fantastic! We so enjoyed our road trip around the city with him! He is so nice and really did his best to provide us with a great (and safe!) experience. I recommend doing at the beginning of your trip as he has a lot of tips and suggestions for you after to explore. Would absolutely use this company again. Great job!
I arranged a trip to Budapest for my husband's 40th Birthday, a group of 8, all couples. So we had 4 vehicles booked.. turned up at our Hotel promt, very polite, fun, informative, we'd already been up to the castle and so asked to see the shoe memorial and other sites, the guys happily took us, chatted and joined in our banter... lastly the dropped us at the wine tasting, which was lovely. I highly recommend you use these guys, they won't disappoint and you will get to cover so much ground in a short period. Our group loved the whole experience! And my favourite group photo was taken by one of our drivers in front of the parliament building.. just perfect!
This was our first tuk tuk experience and it was exciting. That little car can park anywhere to get you up close to the sights you want to see Driver/guide (Peter) was entertaining and informative and quite flexible on what we wanted to see. Loved it.
Budapest is a beautiful and charming city, and we only discovered this by doing the Budapest TukTuk tour. My mom and I did a day trip from Vienna. Gergly was so helpful in helping us get a tour on our day in Budapest, and also giving us recommendations on travel in Budapest from the train station sites to see on our own and restaurants. Thomas our guide was fantastic. He took us all over Buda and Pest, even over to Margaret Island. We would not have been able to get the true feeling of Budapest without this tour. We could weave in and out of places that were only for walking for everyone else. Highly recommend this company for your time in Budapest. First class!!!
<p>Best tour in Budapest. Such fun and very informative guide. We could omit or add sights as we wished. Highlight was driving past all the other tourists struggling to walk up the hill. Would definitely recommend. Cheese and wine tasting very good too. Had five different wines to try!</p>
Spend a lot og time waiting in traffic and didn't get to see the places we were supposed to. The guide was very stressed about the traffic which made it stressfull for us. Had expected the tours to be planned according to traffic conditions. Since you run tours every day the traffic can't come as a surprise. Went on October 6th.
<p>Our guide was great and he had some special places that most of the large tours don't know about. Had a fantastic time.</p>
<p>A fun experience with a well informed guide. He could not have been nicer. As to where we went...? Sometimes where other means of transport were not allowed.....e.g.The Citadel. Great fun....even if a little bit bumpy.</p>
<p>Absolutely amazing!! Really knowledgeable and friendly guide. Best way to see the city. Cheese and wine great too!!! Definitely recommend real highlight of our trip</p>
Szuper volt! Igaz kicsit kötekedtem, voltak kérdéseim, de én nagyon jól éreztem magam. Egy egész napos túrát is el tudnék kepzelni így. Péter és Norbert jó arcok, eddig a legjobb idegenvezetésben volt részem. A borkostoló is jó volt, finom borokat kóstolhattunk meg. Bár ha bórkostolás akkor a Badacsonyi helyeket szeretem.
