Tuk Tuk David, a must do!

David was wonderful. Tour can be customized and hits all the main sites, David then asked what else we wanted to see. This provides a wonderful layout of the area. David took us to some backroad locations and allowed plenty of time at each site to get out, take pics and use facilities. So knowledgeable and polite. David adds a personal touch with his own memories and experiences. Do this tour! Ask for David! Best memory of Budapest visit.

Awesome Experience

After three weeks of traveling and so much to see we welcomed the respite from the walking tours. We have been fortunate to have some incredible tour guides in our travels but Gabriella exceeded all expectations. Her breadth and depth and ability to share her knowledge of Budapest was truly awesome! She listened to our must see list and enhanced the experience with enthusiasm. If you find yourself in Budapest be sure to request Gabriella! We look forward to our next TukTuk tour!

Operator response

Your kind words about Gabriella truly mean a lot. We are delighted to hear that her knowledge, enthusiasm, and ability to tailor the tour around your must-see list made such a strong impression. We will be very happy to pass your wonderful feedback on to her. Thank you for choosing Budapest TukTuk and for recommending Gabriella so highly.

Riding with Paul and Gabriella

4 of us took the tour in tandem in 2 tuk tuks, one driven by Paul and one by Gabriella. We were out for 4 hours and covered the major sites on both sides of the Danube. That alone was special and a fun way to tour and learn but Paul and Gabriella took it to a whole new level. They are both smart, well informed, engaging and interesting speakers with good senses of humour. Throughout the tour there was an easy exchange of information, family background and questions and answers while learning much about Buda and Pest. Not to be missed.

Excellent start for a visit to Budapest

Dan was very knowledgeable about the city and its history. His English was very good and he had a pleasant personality. He was very informative and entertaining. The tuktuk was fun and we went all over town. He talked about a lot of historical sites and important buildings. We couldn’t go down the pedestrian streets but we will go back on town. Pick up and drop off was at our hotel. Th trip on our first full day showed us several places we want to go back to. Excellent experience. Recommend this trip and our driver Ben.

A perfect introduction to a beautiful city

Our guide, Zoltan, was infectious with his love of his city and country and provided a wealth of knowledge. Riding around in a tuk tuk we were able to see everything, stop anywhere, and hop out and enjoy whatever spot caught our fancy.
