Full description

Skip the crowds waiting for a traditional city bus tour. Instead, sit back in an authentic, vintage, open Russian military jeep, buckle up, enjoy the beauty of Budapest, and leave everything else to your driver!

This tour is highly recommended for those who wish to explore beyond the usual sights of Budapest. You'll visit areas inaccessible to regular city tours, uncovering the wonders and secrets of the city.

The tour takes you along Andrassy Avenue, passing sights like the Opera House, the House of Terror, and Szechenyi Thermal Bath. It also features a stop at Heroes’ Square to learn about Hungarian history.

Visit the historical Jewish Quarter and Europe's largest Synagogue, and immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the ruin bar district. Enjoy a 30-minute stop at the vibrant Great Market Hall when it's open. Then, after crossing the Danube to the Buda side, we'll drive you up to Gellert Hill for great panoramic views.

In the Buda Castle District, you will journey through the old cobblestone streets and medieval houses. A 20-minute stop allows you to admire the Matthias Church and from the Fisherman's Bastion, a breathtaking panorama awaits over the Parliament and Pest side, offering plenty of photo opportunities.

You will ride along the Danube and return to the Pest side. At the final leg of the tour, you can visit the Shoes on the Danube Bank near the Chain Bridge (only in daylight).

Throughout the tour, your driver will share interesting stories about points of interest and will be available for questions. An audio guide is available in several languages, or you can listen to music through the JBL hi-fi system.
