What’s a cooler and more fun way to explore the sights of Budapest than by riding a Segway. Unique but safe, the self balancing electric Segway let’s you stand whilst quietly gliding through the pretty streets. Whether you take a guided tour of 1 or 2 hours, and whether you’re alone or part of a small group, a Segway tour is definitely an experience you’ll never forget.

Great tour and tour guide! Nice introduction to Budapest
We had a great time on the Segway tour! Jose was our tour guide and he did a great job telling us history but also ensuring we were safe on our tour. He is a nice guy and he made our tour a fun and interesting experience. I would recommend this tour and look forward to doing Segway tours in other cities.

Loved this tour! The Segway's were a fun option to see the major city sights in a short period of time. I would recommend taking the longer option so that you can see both Buda and Pest. Jose was a great guide and very knowledgeable!

Great Budapest Tour
Great way to get an overview of important sights. You can cover miles including up hills without effort on a Segway. My wife and I have worked as Segway Tour Guides in the USA. Our guide Sam gave a great tour and the equipment was well maintained. (Very hard to do as these Segways are not made anymore)

WonderfuL!
Fun and informative tour guide! Highly recommended! He clearly explained how to use the segway (it was my first time) and gave clear and concise information, perfect for a segway-tour. The advantage of the segway tour is that we could travel from Pest to Budapest quickly, thus giving us the chance to see its main points with a historical explanation.

Great tour for day trips
Had a fun experience going around w the segway. Josef was a very pleasant and fun tour guide. I had time constraints so having 1 hour to see a lot of places in 1 hour was a great convenience.

Great Segway trip with a great guide!
We met at the office just before our departure time. We had been on segway several times before on various city breaks so luckily enough we picked it up straight away after a safety briefing.
We split up in two groups as we were booked for two hours whereas the rest were booked for ninety minutes. This is where we met our guide Sam….he was great.
We stopped at many tourist spots including Buda castle, Fisherman’s bastion, The Chain Bridge, Parliament Buildings, St Stephen’s Basilica to name just a few.
We stopped regularly with Sam telling us loads of interesting history. He was very knowledgeable.
We returned back to the shop after a fantastic ride around the city.
We would high recommend this Segway tour. Thanks Sam.
