CANCELLATION POLICY

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.

Best city tour we have ever been on, driver was fantastic, tour of city with 4 stops, getting to places the big tours can’t. 60year old jeep was so fun. 2 stops for drinks included. The local palinka drink was warming. This really is a must do, we will would do again if we visit in the summer.

Loved the jeep, usual andunique way of seeing the city. Driver took us on a whistle stop tour of the best places to visit. Also provided was a small glass of palinks / very nice! Tour was given by an automated guide, but driver had limited English so unable to provide much more than that.

Zsombor, our guide, is a true history scholar who drove us around all the key sites of Budapest. He gave a succinct modern view of the history of Budapest in near perfect english. This is a fun, must-do tour for small groups up to six people. Absolutely loved it ?
