We had the best time on our bike tour with Louisa! She was an awesome guide—super patient and shared a ton of cool insights about Budapest’s history that we wouldn’t have known otherwise. Plus, the goulash was a major highlight; it was so tasty! If you’re looking for a fun way to explore the city, we highly recommend this tour. Be sure to ask for Louisa
This company provides young, friendly, competent guides. They collaborated to organize a multitude of riders for 3 different outings for the same departure time! A suitable bike was procured for each rider e.g. a switch was easily made from an E bike to a regular touring bike and this was much appreciated in my case. Daniel, our guide was Street-smart and street safe. Downtown Budapest is extremely busy! He provided just the right amount of history mixed with personal bits of information. We benefitted from his personal stories as well as his historical knowledge on the tour. Thank you Daniel. A truly authentic restaurant stop for gulyas soup at lunch break was chosen by the tour company. I would suggest only one recommendation- that the chef provide a heartier soup. We would definitely do this type of tour again.
We did 2 days of biking and also a walking tour. Fabulous guides, great experience all around. We learnt a huge amount about Budapest and Hungary, in a short space of time.

We always try to do a cycle tour in each new city we visit and I have to say this was one of the best. The guide was so knowledgeable and took us to so many interesting places throughout Budapest. She was very passionate about her country and shared a lot of history that we were not aware of. We would highly recommend this cycle tour. Ingrid
Great Guide. She was very interesting. Great introduction to Budapeat on our first full day in the city. The group only consisted of my husband and I but still ran which was excellent.

We were lucky enough to be the only two on the tour, so effectivly jad a private tour, whicj was excellent. I was initially concerned about cycling on such busy roads, but our guide made us feel totally safe and once uses to the cycle paths it was very enjoyable. We travelled around the city and got to see so much that has inspired the rest of our visit and our guide was very friendly and knowledgable. The bikes were in great condition and the safety instructuons clear. All in all I would totally recommend it.
Thoroughly enjoyable tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and we visited all of the Budapest sights. Would 100% recommend as a way of exploring Budapest and the lunch was delicious!
