Had a great tour with...

Had a great tour with Ben. It was our first time in Budapest and he took the time to explain the history of various sites. It gave us a blueprint of things we wanted to explore by ourselves later on. Highly recommend with Ben.

Fun way to see the city!

A great way to see Budapest and really learn about more than the regular tourist sights. Daniel was great and fun to talk to. The only problem was that it was difficult to hear him at times while we were driving due to the noise from traffic and especially the tuk tuk. A speaker system would be great! Overall we enjoyed our time.

Til Tuk a Unique Way to See Budapest!

Our guide Zultor was personable, professional, interesting, funny and a little crazy (in a good way). We learned a lot, saw a lot considering the fast pace of a half day tour, and got to see most of what we wanted to. Our guide was very flexible and tailored the tour to get in most of what we wanted to see.

This Tuk Tuk Tour is The Way To Go!!!!!!

We've done a ton of Tuk Tuk Tours in our travels and this was one of the best. A solid itinerary that managed to get all the big ticket items of a city like Budapest done in 4 hrs. From that point of view alone it was worth it. But when you have a guide like Ben, well that's just more reason to reccomend this tour. Ben is personable, professional and super easy to get along with. Clearly passionate about his city and its ong and colourful past, his formal knowledge coupled with his practical experiences and easy clear manner helped flesh out Budapest in a way we didn't expect. He paced the tour well and we never felt rushed or like we'd missed anything. He was also very happy to suggest dining and bar options, avoiding the Tourist Traps. We cant recomend this tour highly enough & if you get Ben as your Guide... well you've hit the Jackpot!! 5 Stars
