Great way to see Budapest

Gyuri was fantastic at giving us a great tour of Budapest via the Danube, giving us great information and making it a very memorable experience. We went as a group of 5 and loved every minute. Really recommend this as something slightly different for your trip to Budapest.

Fun time paddling on the Danube

My 18-year-old son and I really enjoyed paddling on the Danube. It was a very nice and active way to see the city. The experience was well organized, safe and fun.

Fun & unique trip!

Really fun trip on the Danube. Our guide was great giving us information and asking questions and also took a bunch of photos as well which we really appreciated this. We have gone Kayaking many times and white water rafting but the difference on this trip is that the river doesn't move too much so you have to do all the heavy lifting. And when we go kayaking, we kind of like to "float and chill" to give ourselves a break. But this tour, you're paddling the whole time and the river doesn't do you too many favors. So make sure you're prepared to paddle by eating before and being hydrated. But overall it was a great and unique trip with really cool views of Budapest's biggest attractions. And though there's tons of dinner cruises and whatnot on the Danube, not many people can say they've gone rafting on the river! But glad to say that we can!

Skip the crowded Budapest river cruises for this unique, fun adventure down the Danube!

If you are looking for a fun adventure and a unique way to see Budapest, this tour is for you! My wife and I had an amazing time paddling and floating down the Danube with Gyuri as our guide. Gyuri was fantastic with communication pre-arrival and shared a lot of great information during our paddle. He was easy to chat with and the paddle itself is not overly strenuous. It was fun to quietly glide and paddle along, with Gyuri explaining the history of Budapest and the various landmarks, from the unique vantage point of a raft on the Danube. We saw countless packed river cruises go by and it felt special to know we were doing something a bit more unique that we know we will remember! 5/5 recommend.

It was a very memorable experience. We will definitely do this again when we’re in Budapest.

We totally enjoyed every bit of it. Our guide, Gergo, was very experienced, friendly and he made it very exciting and relaxing for us. Also, the communication from the Gyuri prior to time, giving us direction and all that was reassuring.

Amazing Views of the City and Super Friendly Guide

Gyuri, our guide made the tour so enjoyable. The views were amazing. We were a group of 6 friends and had a lot of fun. You will get to see all the popular ancient spots from the river. Weather was also so pleasant. Gyuri took us to a really cool place for drinks as well! I think this was a very memorable moment for all of us during this trip! Absolutely recommend 🙂

Excellent exactly how I expected

It was beautiful and relaxing rafting at the Danube River and seeing all the beautiful views during the 2 hours trip. Gyuri was so helpful and helped us with all the changes making sure we do the rafting during sunny times avoiding the rainy time in the evenings
