Reviews
Lovely day with Akos riding to Szendendre. He was prompt, professional but casual enough to be fun. The bikes were excellent, the instructions crystal clear and the commentary was informative and entertaining. Szendendre was well worth visiting specially with such a great guide and if there’s anything you want to know about wine, just ask him.
E-Bikes were 1st class and our guide was superb. Our trip was interesting and fun and we were given a decent overview of the history of Hungary and Budapest and insight into its place in our beloved Europe! Our guide was an excellent ambassador of your company! This was a perfect trip providing many great memories of our time spent.
We had a perfect day biking with our tour guide, Ákosh.We biked around Margaret Island and less-well known Obodu before following along the Danube to beautiful Szentendre, a little artist colony on the Danube Bend. The pacing of our tour was great, with several photo stops, a drink at a little cafe overlooking the river, and a short guided walking tour of Szentendre. Ákosh is very knowledgeable about Hungarian history and gave us a great overview of the developments in the town. The tour also included a fabulous lunch of lángos, Hungarian street food, and we had time to browse the galleries and shops. We returned to Budapest on a boat. It was better than we could have hoped. Highly recommended.
This tour was spectacular! The road to Szentendre was smooth and an easy ride. We loved riding through Margaret Island. Our guide was great and knowledgeable. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour!!!
We have been traveling to various cities in Europe for the last 3 months and this was our best excursion. We are in our 60s and enjoy bicycle tours but this one was wwonderful as we traveled in the city some, biked through nature on Margitsziget, traveled up the scenic Danube and ended in Szentendre. I recommend using e-bikes as it just allowed you to take everything in while traveling. Balazs our guide was amazing. Sharing his knowledge of the area gave us insights you won’t get on a big group tour. His easy going nature, letting us stop to take a picture of a bird I had never seen was so appreciated – he wasn’t driving us to be at a certain place at a certain time. My friend is gluten intolerant and he managed an alternative lunch to accommodate all of us. Szentendre was a beautiful town and we found the souvenirs there were cheaper than in budapest. We had free time to look around and shop. We came back by train which provided a different view of the area. It was 8 hours in total with the right amount of stops for drink and lunch along the way. Highly recommend this tour.
