Full description

Explore Budapest by land and water without the need to change vehicles on this floating bus tour. See the best sights of the city from a comfortable bus seat, first along its busy streets, and then from the water of the Danube.

Roar with joy as your bus takes a dive in the Danube, the iconic river of Budapest. Admire the views of the elegant city while being gently rocked on the rippling waves. After the watery adventure, get ready to soak in the sights from the deck of a luxury coach. Climb back onto the river shore and find yourself once again in the hustle and bustle of the busy metropolis.

Instead of choosing between touring the Hungarian capital on 4 wheels or marveling at the imperial buildings from the deck of a pleasure boat, enjoy the best of both worlds.

If you never ride a floating bus, then try it! It was fun. I wished the guide only explained in English and not both in English and German, because she has a lot to say in both languages that we always missed the point of which building or landmarks she was talking about. The bus keep driving and not stop at all.

Interesting option for a city bus tour, love the river bus/boat idea. The guide was very enthusiastic and I was impressed by how many languages she could speak. But I would suggest making the boat tour shorter. After 30 mins it just gets a little boring as its moving quite slow. Maybe getting another splash ramp would make it easier to go back to land somewhere near city center. Also, each seat has its own headphones, I suggest to take your own earphones due to hygienic reasons, plus some of them didn't work anyway.
