Visit the City Park, Andrássy Avenue, Opera House, Hungarian Parliament Building, Buda Castle, and the Jewish Quarter, including areas inaccessible to regular tours. Don't worry about missing photo opportunities; the jeep stops at notable locations like Heroes' Square, the Central Market Hall, and Gellért Hill, allowing you to get out and explore.

5.00This is such a fantastic way to see the city. I scheduled it for our first day there because I knew that we would be jet lagged. It was the perfect way to get the lay of the land while respecting everyone's energy levels. We did run into a snafu on our trip because of a charity race and Laszlo with Retro Tour did a FANTASTIC job of compensating for it. Definitely do this! My only regret is forgetting to have our picture taken in the Jeep!

Fun highlight tour in a jeep

4.00It was a fun experience driving through town in the jeep. It was a great highlight of all the sites. There was a recorded overview of each site as we passed it which was nice. The driver was friendly and provided refreshments during our ride. It would have been a rating of 1 more star had they driver added his own insight during the ride but nevertheless it was an interesting and fun tour.
Great Time

5.00This was an amazing way to see Budapest, especially if you’re short on time. Our guide, Laszlo, was very hospitable and knowledgeable—a true host. In addition to driving past major sights, the tour included stops at four iconic locations where we could explore on our own. Riding in a Russian Jeep made the experience even more exciting!
A perfect way to see the city

5.00We were a group of 8, 4 couples, and we went for the standard 3h tour in two Jeeps. Everyone kept thanking me for the initiative both during and after the trip, and we all agreed that this really was a superb experience. Before reservation we were a bit unsure if 3 hours was a bit much, but afterwards we were really happy about our choice. The combination of driving and the duration of the stops was more or less perfect.
We loved this tour. It is...

5.00We loved this tour. It is a private tour so we were never waiting on others. The jeep was able to get us closer to places than the typical bus tour. We had a beautiful day so the open jeep was wonderful. The tour operator was very accomodating.
