Disappointing

Helen_B, Mar 2026

The tour was very disappointing despite the efforts of the team. We understand that the schedule had to be changed as it was a holiday and some roads were closed. However after telling us the 2h30 would be reduced to 1h30- 2h but no discount was offered. I originally read it would be a small group however we were a group of 22 people. There was no safety briefing, there were no instructions on how the bikes worked and no map was given of the route. Quite often we were left at traffic lights whilst the front of the group disappeared and the others stuck at otherights behind us. We were lucky to have good weather and it's a fun way to see the city. The bikes were good but no helmets were offered. We stopped 3 times and had a very brief explanation of what we saw. They could have taken us more around Fisherman's Bastion as that seemed rushed especially as the tour was cut short.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and truly appreciate your detailed feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused — it’s clear that the tour did not meet the expected standards. Unfortunately, due to the holiday and related restrictions, there was an unexpected overlap in organization, but this is not an excuse for the issues you described. Your comments regarding group size, safety briefing, coordination, and overall experience are very important to us, and we will carefully review them with our team to ensure improvements are made. We will do our best to avoid such situations in the future.

Too many in the tour group!

Katherine_E, Mar 2026

Twenty (20!) people on an e-bike tour is ridiculous, chaotic, and no fun. I was looking forward to seeing Margrit Island but we couldn’t go because of closed streets and bridges. The two guides did the best they could. I took this bike tour on Hungary’s National holiday, March 15th so this review may not be relevant the rest of the year.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

We’re very sorry for your experience and truly understand your frustration. Unfortunately, due to the national holiday and city restrictions, there were unexpected challenges that affected the tour, including group size and route changes. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience — it was an unfortunate overlap, and we will definitely take your feedback into account to improve and avoid such situations in the future.

Best way up see the city

Rachel_E, Feb 2026

The bike tour was amazing. Our guide Seren was very knowledgeable. The e bikes were top notch and it didn't feel like work, not even a bit tired. The city is big and we felt like we saw everything by bike, covering around 20 miles.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for your fantastic review! 😊 We’re so happy to hear you had an amazing bike tour and that Seren’s knowledge made it even more special. Great to know the e-bikes made the 20 miles feel effortless! It’s wonderful that you felt you truly experienced the whole city. Hope to see you again! 🚴‍♂️✨

Great tour.

Budapest is pretty but do another tour

Sharlene_C, Jan 2026

Unfortunately I dont recommend this experience. Our guide (Yusuf) did not explain the sites very well, he barely spoke at all. Additionally each stop he would cycle off and there were times in the tours where he stopped in unsafe places (middle of roads/tramways etc). There was also no safety briefing. Additionally, there is a blend of ebikes and push bikes but the ebikes are much quicker which meant a lot of waiting. We could not wait for the tour to finish,, unfortunately a poor experience.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you very much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the explanations, safety, pacing, and group management are taken very seriously and will be shared with our team to ensure improvements are made. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and your feedback is extremely valuable in helping us do better.
