I had a fantastic experience on the e-bike trip to Szentendre with Adam! As a solo traveler, I felt very comfortable right away, Adam was welcoming, flexible with timing, and answered all my questions about the area with genuine enthusiasm. The e-bike ride itself was smooth, relaxing, and not tiring at all, making the journey just as enjoyable as the destination. I loved how accessible it was for all ages and fitness levels. Szentendre is such a charming, adorable town with so much to see, and this tour was the perfect half-day trip outside the city. Highly recommend Adam and this experience if you’re looking to explore beyond Budapest in a fun, easy way!

We had the best time on this scooter tour of Budapest! We did the three hour tour, and it really did cover a lot of ground. It was so nice to see the sites and learn the history. It was so much fun riding the scooters around the city. The best part of all was our guide, Attila. He was interesting and funny, and he made the experience truly exceptional and a big highlight of our trip to Budapest. Also, thanks to him we got the coolest photos of our family around the city.

Great value for money and we timed it right to catch everything lighting up along the river. Well worth doing to see this amazing city at night.
