Full description

This tour takes you all around the city centre: the beautiful Buda side, the wonderful Pest side, and Margaret Island. It's a fast, easy way to discover Budapest and its hidden corners, with historical commentary and photos taken along the way.

It is easier than walking and more fun. The route covers Elizabeth Bridge, the Gellért Statue, Castle Garden Bazaar, Clark Ádám Square, Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church. There we stop for 15 to 20 minutes to enjoy the view over Pest and have a coffee or cake at Ruszwurm, the oldest bakery in the city.

After the break we ride to Margaret Island to see the dancing fountain, which plays music every hour. From there we head to the Parliament building — one of the largest in the world — and finish around Liberty Square and St Stephen's Basilica.

Questions guests ask

How much time should I plan for the Grand City Tour? +

3 Hours of riding, plus about 20 to 30 minutes for the briefing and the test drive, which are not part of the riding time. Please arrive 10 to 15 minutes before the start.

How much does the Grand City Tour cost? +

From 79 euro per person. You pay at our office on the day, in cash, and nothing is charged when you book.

Can I cancel my booking? +

Yes. Tell us at least 12 hours before your tour starts and that is it. You pay nothing when you book, so there is no fee to charge and no refund to wait for. Most booking sites ask for 24 hours notice and hold your money until then. We do not.

Do I pay anything when I book? +

No. We do not ask for a card and we take no payment online. You reserve the time, and you pay at our office on the day of the tour.

How do I pay on the day? +

In cash, at our office before the tour. We take euro, forint, dollars and pounds, and you get a receipt. We do not accept cards.

Do I need experience to ride a Segway? +

No. Every tour starts with a briefing and a supervised test drive in a quiet spot, and you only set off once you are comfortable. Most guests have never stood on one before.

Is there a minimum age or weight? +

Yes. Riders must be at least 8 years old and weigh at least 35 kg. The tour is not suitable for pregnant travellers.

What happens if it rains? +

We ride in light rain and give you a raincoat at no cost. If the weather is bad enough that riding is not sensible, we move your booking to another time, also at no cost.

Where do we meet? +

At our office, Haris köz 2, 1052 Budapest. It is a small street off Váci utca in the centre of Pest, a few minutes on foot from Ferenciek tere and Deák Ferenc tér.

How many people ride with one guide? +

Eight at most. Larger bookings are split into groups of eight, and each group gets its own guide.

Which languages do you guide in? +

English on every tour. German, Russian, Spanish, French and Hebrew are available on private and group bookings for a flat 10 euro.

Do we get photos? +

Yes. Your guide takes photos along the route and sends them to you after the tour. There is nothing extra to pay.

When can I reach you? +

Every day between 08:30 and 20:00, by phone, WhatsApp or email. Seven days a week, including weekends and holidays.

Why book here instead of a booking site? +

You book straight with the people who run the tour. Nothing is charged in advance, you can cancel up to 12 hours before, and any question about your booking goes to the guides themselves rather than a call centre.
