Best way up see the city - The bike tour was amazing. Our guide Seren was very knowledgeable. The e bikes were top notch and it didn't feel like work, not even a bit tired. The city is big and we felt like we saw everything by bike, covering around 20 miles.

Disappointing - The tour was very disappointing despite the efforts of the team. We understand that the schedule had to be changed as it was a holiday and some roads were closed. However after telling us the 2h30 would be reduced to 1h30- 2h but no discount was offered. I originally read it would be a small group however we were a group of 22 people.
There was no safety briefing, there were no instructions on how the bikes worked and no map was given of the route. Quite often we were left at traffic lights whilst the front of the group disappeared and the others stuck at otherights behind us.
We were lucky to have good weather and it's a fun way to see the city. The bikes were good but no helmets were offered.
We stopped 3 times and had a very brief explanation of what we saw. They could have taken us more around Fisherman's Bastion as that seemed rushed especially as the tour was cut short.

Too many in the tour group! - Twenty (20!) people on an e-bike tour is ridiculous, chaotic, and no fun. I was looking forward to seeing Margrit Island but we couldn’t go because of closed streets and bridges. The two guides did the best they could. I took this bike tour on Hungary’s National holiday, March 15th so this review may not be relevant the rest of the year.

Budapest is pretty but do another tour - Unfortunately I dont recommend this experience. Our guide (Yusuf) did not explain the sites very well, he barely spoke at all. Additionally each stop he would cycle off and there were times in the tours where he stopped in unsafe places (middle of roads/tramways etc). There was also no safety briefing. Additionally, there is a blend of ebikes and push bikes but the ebikes are much quicker which meant a lot of waiting. We could not wait for the tour to finish,, unfortunately a poor experience.
