5.00It was a nice route. You get to places you wouldn't otherwise walk to yourself. Nice assignments with interesting information.
A nice day

5.00Monica was extremely informative. The tour hit major viewing points of both Buda and Pest sides. Nice mixture of views of the city.
See lots along the way

5.00We have done a couple of these tours. Definitely a great way to explore a new city and get to know where things are the first day. We even revisited some places that we’d seen along the way. I’d greatly recommend it. And it was lovely to do it by yourself rather than being on a walking tour with a massive group like we’d previously seen
Good, if you already saw the most important sights

3.00We thought we would get a tour for the most important sights and a tour to ride the bike the best through the city. Unfortunately, it mostly showed us parks and after the first three sights we stopped doing the tour. If you already saw most of the most popular sights and wanna dive deeper into the story of Budapest, this might be for you, but if you want a tour for bike/E-Scooter that shows the most important sights, I wouldn't recommend it. The app itself works very well.
Great fun way to see the city

5.00Highly recommend this activity as a great fun way to see the city. Not overly strenuous - clues easy to navigate but also make you think 😜. Can take your time with as many regular king stops as you require! Really good value for money.
