A great way to see key sites and learn about Budapest’s history, while getting some exercise. Oliver was a great guide and customized the tour to meet our interests. (It’s an easy and enjoyable ride as the city has an abundance of bike lanes and fairly flat terrain). Highly recommend!!

Joe_W, May 2024

Due to issues with original tour I was kindly upgraded to e-bike tour & was glad I was! Krouily or guide was very knowledgeable & very safety aware for such a big group . A superb tour of the main sights of Budapest that gives a great overview of the city. Just as enjoyable was the amazing e-bike which was super fun to ride! Thanks for an awesome tour!

Chitra_D, Apr 2024

The best way to see the city! Sharing the road with other cars is a bit scary, if you are not used to it. But bike lanes are always marked and the city is very bike friendly

Response from Host, May 2024

Dear Chitra, many thanks!

A great experience

Kerri_H, Apr 2024

An excellent way to explore Budapest. Out guide Raymond was very knowledgeable and friendly. He went at an easy pace making it overall a very enjoyable experience. Much better than a coach trip.

Response from Host, May 2024

Dear Kerri, many thanks and have a nice holiday!

Andrew_Q, Apr 2024

Brilliant way to see the city in 3 hours and very friendly and helpful guide. Well worth doing a cycle ride of the city in your first few days in Budapest

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Andrew, many thanks and hope to see you again on one of our programs or using our bicycle rental. You can also do tours along the Danube between Budapest and Vienna!

Great experience and a lovely way to see Buda & Pest!

SaraGyngell_G, Apr 2024

We were lucky to be upgraded to E bikes. What a revolution! They were excellent. Guide very informative. The riding is easy even when on the roads. But most of it on easy cycle ways.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thanks a lot Sara! We have carefully planned our tour in order to avoid busy roads and maximise cycle ways. And Budapest is developing very fast as far as bicycling is concerned. Try also an excursion into the countryside along the Danube! Regards, Thomas

Great tour!

Rodrigue_A, Apr 2024

Nice stroll across the city with stops at its most notorious attractions points. Nice explanations from our tour guide Balent. This is a great way to tour the city without walking for hours and just going to the point.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Yes, Budapest has to be explored by some means of transport, walking is simply to far. Our bicycles are environmental friendly and especially the e-bikes effortless to use.

Fabulous Tour

Charlie_F, Jan 2024

Interesting Budapest bike tour

Dianne_J, Oct 2023

Our guide was excellent. He was interesting and informative. We learned much about the Budapest history and a bit about current life in Budapest. However, our group was much larger than the 10 person limit advertised. It was difficult riding the city streets with 16-18 bicycles.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Dianne, your group had 14 participants and this is what is being announced as a maximum for the regular bike tours. We offer also e-bike tours and there the maximum number is 10 participants. Often the groups are smaller, but even with the maximum number we still can offer a high quality level. Another alternative would be to book a private tour. Many thanks,

Greatest way to explore Budapest!

Boryana_B, Sep 2023

E-bikes are on another level - highly recommended to use it as an option. Totally worth it the experience.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

We are offering tours with regular bicycles - also equipped with 24-speed - and e-bike tours with our innovative wooden bicycles. Pure relaxation!

Great experience to discovery Budapest!

Alicia_K, Sep 2023

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour and was a great intro to Budapest while saving your feet. Our tour guide was authentic and provided us history and culture information throughout the tour. He even included small fun facts that people could easily miss! The bikes were in good condition and the route was also well planned to avoid the group being split up. Overall, I would highly recommend this experience within your first few days in Budapest.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Alicia, many thanks. It is great to hear that you enjoyed the tour, hope to see you again on one of our programs, kind regards,

Great way to see Budapest!

Patricia_G, Sep 2023

This was a great way to tour Budapest!!! We had a great, very knowledgeable tour guide for this 3 1/2 hr trip. The four of us, one in her 60's and three of us in our 70's, were able to do this tour even though it was 90+ degrees!! So glad we did this bike tour!!!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Patricia, thank you for taking part and confirming that a bicycle tour is even in high temperatures a good idea. Actually you can benefit from a light breeze all the time.

Lovely way to see the City
