Breathtaking Budapest: Express Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Adventure

Great experience had to change buses a few times 🎤wasn’t very clear ……………………………………………………………………………..

We've enjoyed these around the world and this one gave the top places around the city. Our bus however had many malfunctioning audio sockets so we ended up sharing

Make sure what you bought is what you’re getting as ours didn’t The boat trip advertised as a 1hour included ride was no longer a part of the deal since start of 2026. Viator did not notify us of this so having booked the trip back in October we feel short changed on our arrival to be told we only get a 30% discount when we book a river trip.

Well it is disappointing when the audio material doesn’t work. We could barely hear the narrator. We have tried different seats and it was the same. So we missed most of the history of the city. Also the announcement on the microphone were not audible.

Great way to see Budapest BUT very poor commentary— rip it up and start again It may be factual but it certainly is not interesting I would recommend as sight seeing only Big bus operators need to take a trip and listen then change

If you're staying in Budapest center, like we did, the best attractions are within easy walking reach. Considering that Big Bus charges 16,000Ft (€44) per person for a 2-day pass, I am not convinced this is good value. Keep in mind also that they drop you off at the edge of The Castle, where you may decide to buy yet another ticket @ €36 for the Blue Shuttle (not related to Big Bus). We used the pass in december, which is high season : the buses were packed and uncomfortable.

The bus was cold, the roof was leaking and some seats were wet. The audio stopped randomly in the middle of sentences and didn’t continue from there later on. The information we were sent before the tour, to exchange the QR code we got in the email to tickets at one of their three offices was false, we went for nothing, they gave us tickets on the bus when we got on. They made us all get off the bus at one point and switch to another one, which is an inconvenience especially in the rain. There is definitely space for improvement for this company. The language selection is nice though.

Great way to get an introduction to the city and useful transportation to key areas of exploration. Commentary was not quite as good as some other HOHO experiences in other cities.

Really wholesome experience in Budapest Frequent buses, guided walking tours and boat rides. Just what you need to experience Budapest

Brilliant way to see the city. Get on and get off and see whatever you fancy we were there Christmas time so was lovley to see the ice skating rink
