The quiet electric tuk-tuk covers a lot of ground in two hours, with time for photos, local stories, and practical food and drink tips.

“Daniel was a fantastic guide on this great tour. He drives an electric Tuktuk which means you can hear his commentary quite easily as you drive around Budapest. Also, because it is a narrow vehicle, you get to cruise along the bicycle path and speed along past much of the traffic! Daniel is the real treat as his knowledge of the city, its history and culture are top notch! I recommend his tour highly!”
