1.5 Hour Budapest Segway Tour - To The Castle Area
Description
Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion area in Budapest, Hungary, offer a unique experience for visitors due to their rich historical and architectural significance. Buda Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was the home of Hungarian kings for centuries and now houses several museums, including the Budapest History Museum and the Hungarian National Gallery. The Fisherman's Bastion, a neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque terrace overlooking the Danube River, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city and is named after the fishermen who once defended this section of the city's walls. The seven towers of the Bastion represent the seven Magyar tribes that founded Hungary. Together, these sites offer a glimpse into Hungary's past, from medieval times to the modern era. The area is also filled with charming streets, quaint cafes, and shops, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.

We had a great time! It was a good way to see the city. Our guide Daniel was very knowledgeable about the history of the city
Really good experience just wished to go a little bit faster
Pretty fun to go on the Segway, you feel quite free, and if you are a speed demon you'll enjoy it even more.
Very nice guide, the Segway is a new and cool way of discovering a city
We had a wonderful experience with Daniel on our Segway tour! We hadn't had a chance to visit the Buda side of the city and did just that with this tour. We stopped at a couple of major sites along the way and we're able to get of and walk around a bit. Daniel did a great job sharing the history of the area and other integrating facts. We had a great time!
Top great excursion destination with my son; we also had a very nice tour guide. Can recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Budapest in a more intimate way.
The Castle area is vast. The ride up on the Funicular was very short but fun going up; better to walk down as its far more interesting. The castle area has shops and cafes as well. Try to get a coffee or light meal at the Fishermans Bastion as you get the best views of Budapest.
Fantastic experience, highly recommended when in Budapest. Guide was excellent and very informative
First time Segway rider and it was amazing!! We normally love to walk with our 12 year-old twins, but we had such a great time and they’re a perfect age for it. It felt extremely safe and very efficient and super fun to get around the city! Our guide, Daniel kept us safe and very informed. Highly recommend this company and this tour guide!!
We had an awesome tour with Daniel. He was a really great guide and very knowledgable. He was also very quick to help our children if they started moving in the wrong direction on the segway. Would definitely recommend this tour, and especially Daniel as a guide.
