Budapest: Historisk Downtown ride på E-cykler Buda & Pest

We had taken a panoramic tour by Jeep the day before. This bike tour was the perfect follow up activity. We got to see parts of the city not accessible by driving, Peter is an incredibly knowledgeable, energetic and entertaining guide. He always put safety first. But education and entertainment were a close second. I can't recommend this highly enough.

Very good guide Peter. Explained it very well. We saw and learned a lot. You can also book the tour directly. Value for money was super. The bikes were also good. He would be able to manage with it this year. The tour is highly recommended.

Lovely ride. I wish we did not stop so often however it was informative. Wish I James more time. Has to leave the group early due to a previous engagement. 😢

Peter is an amazing and entertaining guide. The tour is a great way to learn about the history of Budapest. We used the ebikes which made it very easy to go up the hills. There are many cycle lanes also. We learnt so much from Peter. Would highly recommend this tour.

Easy to find meeting place, great e-bikes, and knowledgeable guide. BUT…This bike tour was way too ambitious (too long, too much guide talking, too much city traffic, went to too many places) and needs to be pared down to maybe 3 hrs maximum. Guide should have begun by telling us 11 riders what to expect re: length of ride, route and sights we would see, and planned bathroom and food/drink stops. No one knew how long we’d be out and he didn’t seem to care that it went 4.5 hrs and across lunch time. We stopped plenty of places to see things but we NEVER stopped for food and only stopped for toilet when someone said they needed it. Obviously food and toilet stops were not scheduled- but definitely should have been on a 4.5 hr ride. Guide talked way too much (at least 15 minutes before even beginning the ride). As day went on, we riders were watching sky and forecast and knew a big thunderstorm was expected; had guide been careful, we could have been finished before the storm hit, but we were not. If you are in the least bit unnerved by crazy city traffic (narrow lanes, whizzing buses, avoiding pedestrians and bollards), I suggest avoiding this tour. We learned a lot but guide didn’t read his group’s cues and went on way too long about topics riders didn’t show too much interest in. And his views of Western Europe (in which category he threw Americans, thinking it funny) were pretty cynical and not really appreciated by some of us. We have loved visiting this beautiful city but we didn’t love this bike tour.

Peter was our guide and was very knowledgeable and I really liked how he did the tour, he was the teacher and we were the students. I liked his chalenging questions and informative answers

What a great time, despite the 100 degree heat. They contacted us to move the tour up 90 minutes to avoid the worse heat of the day - very thoughtful. The pre ride safety and bike set ups were great, and off we went. The bikes are super - framed in wood and easy to operate - the electric only needed to be on #2 of 5 settings, even to get up the very steep hills in Buda. We saw so much and cover about 15 km I’d estimate. There were bathroom breaks and water breaks - you can keep a bottle on your bike and tip it up at fresh water stations - they’ll store your bags if you need that too. Easy to find their store with gps - our guide Ciro was super knowledgeable- we had a fab time and the 4 hours went by very fast.

I had a fantastic time on this tour! I went solo and have never ridden bikes through a big city before. Our guide was fabulous, only 3 of us on the tour. We saw literally every part of the city in the perfect amount of time and got insider tips from our guide. Thank you again!!

Engaging and interesting guide who speaks French very well, easy and practical bike

Fun and informative e-bike tour through Budapest! We would highly recommend this. Bikes were easy to use. Tour guide was great!
