We were picked up on time right by our boat on the Danube by Laszlo our guide and driver. Blessed with beautiful weather Laszlo proceeded to take us on a 3 hour tour of all the key locations in the beautiful city of Budapest. There were a number of stops where we got off the jeep and spent time soaking up the sights and atmosphere. We were a group of six and we all agreed it was a highlight of our cruise holiday on the Danube. Small gifts from Laszlo added to the memory of a wonderful afternoon in Budapest.

Fantastic driver and guide! Very informative, people were waving everywhere we went (for the Jeep, I assume). Excellent photos, great history, and the shot of gasoline (he called it Polinka, a Hungarian Brandt) at the top of the hill.
Highly recommended!!

It's was a great way to explore Budapest. It's rarely you can see this kind of car in general, but having a city tour on it is a true unique experience. We visited most of the landmarks within 3 hours. Laszlo did a great job! Highly recommended.

Laslo provided us with the experience of a lifetime. Going around Budapest in the less trodden road in his lovely vintage jeep, listening to the audio guide in our native language - mind you not everyone speaks English in Budapest even less so Spanish - while enjoying some home made hot wine and 'palika' made us forget about the rain and cold weather. If you have reservation due to how unpredictable the weather can be, do know that Laslo comes well prepared with blankets and delicious drinks to keep you warm.

Fun way to see Budapest! Over the course of three hours we were able to see several locations across the city, with four 20 minute sightseeing stops at the Great Market Hall, Citadel, Buda Castle district, and Heroes Square. Our driver was friendly and had Coke and water for the kids and palinka and mulled wine for the adults. While we didn’t learn much on this tour (short bits of information is shared via a recorded audio guide as you drive by each location) it was nice being able to see all the key spots in a short period of time. We ended up having decent December weather, but the jeep was well equipped to handle bad weather as the clear cover and provided blankets made for a warm interior. I would recommend to anyone who isn’t expecting a historian tour guide but a comfortable fun ride to all the key sights.

Best city tour we have ever been on, driver was fantastic, tour of city with 4 stops, getting to places the big tours can’t. 60year old jeep was so fun. 2 stops for drinks included. The local palinka drink was warming. This really is a must do, we will would do again if we visit in the summer.

Loved the jeep, usual andunique way of seeing the city. Driver took us on a whistle stop tour of the best places to visit. Also provided was a small glass of palinks / very nice! Tour was given by an automated guide, but driver had limited English so unable to provide much more than that.
