Overview

Swap crowded double-decker buses for a much more memorable form of Budapest sightseeing—a tour in a Russian jeep. Tick off the city's main sights—such as the Hungarian Parliament Building, Buda Castle, Gellert Hill, and the Jewish Quarter, and go to special places inaccessible by bus tours. No need to worry about missing out on photo opportunities, as the jeep stops so you can get out and have a walk at notable locations.

Russian Jeep Tour

Timothy_P, May 2024

Fantastic driver and guide! Very informative, people were waving everywhere we went (for the Jeep, I assume). Excellent photos, great history, and the shot of gasoline (he called it Polinka, a Hungarian Brandt) at the top of the hill. Highly recommended!!

Brilliant and different

will_s, Feb 2024

Cold weather, but we were provided with blankets and mulled wine You see all the important sights and the driver is fantastic

Absolutely recommend it!

Laslo provided us with the experience of a lifetime. Going around Budapest in the less trodden road in his lovely vintage jeep, listening to the audio guide in our native language - mind you not everyone speaks English in Budapest even less so Spanish - while enjoying some home made hot wine and 'palika' made us forget about the rain and cold weather. If you have reservation due to how unpredictable the weather can be, do know that Laslo comes well prepared with blankets and delicious drinks to keep you warm.

Fun way to see the city!

Christina_F, Dec 2023

Fun way to see Budapest! Over the course of three hours we were able to see several locations across the city, with four 20 minute sightseeing stops at the Great Market Hall, Citadel, Buda Castle district, and Heroes Square. Our driver was friendly and had Coke and water for the kids and palinka and mulled wine for the adults. While we didn’t learn much on this tour (short bits of information is shared via a recorded audio guide as you drive by each location) it was nice being able to see all the key spots in a short period of time. We ended up having decent December weather, but the jeep was well equipped to handle bad weather as the clear cover and provided blankets made for a warm interior. I would recommend to anyone who isn’t expecting a historian tour guide but a comfortable fun ride to all the key sights.

A great Sightseeing tour

Rosa_G, Oct 2023

Perfect start to our mini break & a really memorable experience

Jools_W, Feb 2023

This was the perfect way to start off our visit to Budapest. Laslo our driver was so informative we learn about the history and got our bearings. It was very cold and started to snow during our trip but the jeep was warm and blankets were also provided. The Palinka shot and warm mulled wine were a really nice touch. Thank you Laslo for a really memorable day

Very interesting day

Best tour in Budapest!

James_R, Aug 2022

Our entire family enjoyed our evening Jeep tour. It was nice to be able to go at your own pace. Our driver, Leslie/Lasso, was absolutely wonderful. Be sure to ask for him!

You get to ride around to all the sites in Buda and Pest lookin' like a celebrity

David_J, Aug 2021

This is my first time in a Russian Jeep and I must say it is a great experience especially in Budapest! You get to ride around to all the sites in Buda and Pest and have plenty of time for photos. My guide, Laszlo used a great app to narrate some of the tourist spots with great timing. I wish more information was included especially Russian related. I rode the double-decker bus which gives a broad history and specific tidbits about certain spots around the city. This tour is obviously private and unique and makes you feel important. Laszlo is very personable and will answer any questions you may have. He is what you look for when trying to find a great person to represent a country you are visiting. Overall, it is a great ride and it is definitely an eye catcher!

Expérience très sympa en jeep

Sandrine_M, Dec 2023

Expérience très sympa pour découvrir Budapest et sans oublier les attentions du chauffeur et le vin chaud.

Leuke en handige toer

Jelle_d, Oct 2023

Super leuk om in een open Jeep door Boedapest te toeren. Ook aardige manier om belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden snel te verkennen.

Amusant, instructif et tres plaisant
