Great way to overview the city- - Barbara was a nice tour guide- just enough info at each stop but not too much— a good balance. Definitely the best way to see the highlights. Goulash bowl was good- very very simple but plenty of lunch

Great bike tour - We really enjoyed our bike tour with Katia. She brought the city to life. We have decided to go back to a couple of sights to investigate more. Very worth the money. Loved the goulash lunch too.

Incredibly Broad Tour, Lots Covered and Great Food! - My Dad and I recently went to Budapest and something we enjoy doing everywhere we go is a bike tour. This one was incredible and one of the best that we've taken part in, we were only in the city for a couple of days and I couldn't believe how much we covered in such a short space of time. We managed to cover all of the major landmarks that we were hoping to see on our weekend, on both sides of the river and the food at the end was incredible to top it off.
I'd highly recommend this to anyone who's looking to find out really interesting history about the city, about the country and to see all of the landmarks and find out about them. There really is a lot of information on this tour.

Fun way to see a good portion of the city quickly - Got to see all the major highlights of the city while getting to enjoy fresh air and adventure. While you don’t spend a ton of time at each spot you get a good overview of where you want to explore later.
