Had an excellent time with Zsombor in the open top Jeep tour. We actually got ferried around in a vintage Puch/ G Wagen!! Was an Uber cool experience.

I highly recommend recommend you do this tour at the beginning of your stay in Budapest so that you get a good lay of the land and then you can get a sense of where you want to go spend more time be it Parkiament Building or St Stevens or Mathias Church etc.

Zsombor was a very knowledgeable and adaptable guide. Overall highly recommended!!

Great way to get an informed overview of all of Budapest’s major buildings and monuments. The jeep is perfect for sightseeing and Budapest’s roads. If it’s your first trip to Budapest, definitely take the tour. The driver is a young guy running his own business which is only 12 months old. Well worth supporting.
