This tour was great. John was an excellent guide. He is very knowledgable about the history and culture of Budapest. It is a perfect way to get around to all the top sights. Good information is provided and the open vehicle works well for viewing and for taking pictures. We would highly recommend it.

A superb tour with Zsombor.

Wayne_T, May 2026
A superb tour with Zsombor, who was an excellent host- friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. He took us to all of Budapest’s highlights with plenty of time for photographs. We highly recommend this tour.

From the start, our guide made sure that we were confortable and ready to explore. Our guide not only knew the must know but could answer more of our obscure questions. We believed that we saw the must see of Budapest. Fun afternoon!

Budapest in a nutshell

VilmaVicente, Apr 2026
Jonberg was great! Knowledgeable , courteous and fun. Took us everywhere in Buda and Pest, it was a bit chilli but he had comfy, plush blankets, if you want to have a private experience and see everything is the right tour.

Seeing a lot effortlessly in a short amount of time.

Sherri_T, Apr 2026
Jon, a native of Budapest, picked us up promptly from out hotel and proceeded to give us a personal 3 hour tour of the entire tourist section of town. He was an excellent driver with a degree in history. He had studied in the UK and his English was easy to understand. He patiently answered all of our questions on historical, social, political, and architectural issues in Budapest and Hungary in general. As a bonus he directed us to the type of restaurant and eating experiences we were hoping to find. This tour allowed us to see so much in the three hours and we are now able to concentrate our limited time in Budapest on the locations of greatest interest to us instead of rushing around trying not to miss anything. Money well spent.

Best tour yet!!

Jennifer_Y, Feb 2026
We have done several city tours and this was by far the best! We only had a couple of days in Budapest so opted for this tour to see more and I don’t think we missed a thing!! Zsombor was so knowledgeable, brought us hot tea, and we stopped for the best apple strudel. I cannot recommend enough!!

Beautiful Budapest Tour!

FN_c, Dec 2025
Overpriced for sure. The tour operates on Xmas eve but no info that all is closed so we couldn’t visit what we had planned to and no strudel neither as advertised for this tour.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

We apologize, but you requested to visit the House of Terror museum which is NOT include in our services, despite the fact that we recommended another external location at the beginning. This was your special request and on December 24 Christmas Eve everything is closed in Hungary. We wish you happy holidays, but as correctly stated on the website, we do not offer museum visit services.

Karen_S, Dec 2025
Our driver, John, was warm and welcoming and really knew his way around Budapest to avoid traffic queues and see the sights. We had a mix of recorded historical information and his own insights. We also made a few stops, most notably at Buda castle where we got to try a piece of warm strudel from a local bakery. Was a great intro to Budapest.

Ask for David!

testermanjanet, Dec 2025

Had a wonderful experience, probably one of the best ways to get to know Budapest. Our guide was very informative and professional. He took us to all the top spots, provide wonderful back ground on the sites and allowed us to get out and walk around by our selves. The jeep was clean and there was plenty of blankets to keep you warm. We highly recommend the tour

Great tour of the city!

Jeanne_Y, Oct 2025
Short stay in the city and my husband has back and leg pain walking too much. This was a great option for us to see the sights without having to walk too much at all. Quick photo stops, interesting facts by our driver and guide, and includes a Hungarian strudel as a great snack along the way. We had a beautiful day for the top down but yhey do provide blankets of needed.

Our driver and guide , Armin, was great. Friendly and easy to communicate with. Easy pickup at our hotel and right on time. Nice way to get an overview of the city and see which spots we wanted to go back and spend more time at.

Highlight of my trip to Europe

Bridget_B, Oct 2025
This night tour of Budapest was one of the highlights of my entire 2 weeks in Central Europe! Our tour guide, John, was the best! Flexible with our requests, knowledgeable and friendly! Budapest is absolutely incredible by night and seeing it from a jeep when the crowds are gone is priceless. We were the ONLY people at Hero’s square!

Worth it!

Valerie_S, Oct 2025
David, our tour guide was so cool and chill. He pulled up in a rad open air classic G Wagon. He told us interesting stories about the city in between prerecorded track. It was history light and my husband loved driving around the city in the classic G Wagon

Fantastic way to see the whole of Budapest off the beaten track and get your bearings! Would highly recommend at the beginning of your holiday.

Strudel tasting and water included. Got our bearings for the whole holiday and saved a lot of money which we would have spent on other trips
