Now you don’t need to choose: RiverRide is a special sightseeing tour on which you can see the sights of Budapest from a comfortable seat, first along its busy streets, and then, from one second to the next – to the gasps of some of your fellow travellers – you splash into the lapping water of the river. « less

Guide was very professional and for adults trip was excellent. Kids (11 and 6) were a bit bored as boating on river took quite long time. More

I would strongly suggest to pick the RiverRide on your first day in Budapest, because the bus also goes first through the city, and the guide will tell you about what you're seeing, so it's an excellent starting point to see where the bigger attractions are located, and then you can return later to visit them. The whole idea is... More

This was my third tour of Budapest, and was by far the best. We were lucky only to have the tour conducted in English, and as such learned a lot more history of Budapest. The tour guide was great and never stopped providing anecdotes, history, and answering questions. The photo ops from the river portion were amazing. The only thing... More

I have just returned to England from Budapest and would like to recommend Riverride, the amphibious tourist bus as an excellent sightseeing tour on land and water. The tour starts from the Pest end of Chain Bridge (the one designed by Scotsman Adam Clark). It starts by giving you a good introduction to sights on the Pest side of the... More

I was in Budapest beginning of August. I visited the house of Parliament, and walked through the city center. On the way I came across with the strange-faced, yellow bus standing on the Szechenyi square. We decided to try it next morning, we were lucky, we got place and the weather was fantastic. So we took the almost two hours... More

we heard for this special bus, which goes also into a river and we knew that we have to try. We bought tickets and went on board - all the people around the town are starring into this strange bus, which is floating down the river. It was nice experience, just the ride back on the river is sooooo long.... More

we were one adult and 3 kids (5,7,12). they were very exited about the whole idea. After all this is a tourist bus, so it goes in the city to the main sights and then go into the water. Entering the water was exiting, but then the kids got bored. it floats quite a long time in the water till... More
