I enjoyed the experience of commuting throughout Budapest and seeing the local tourist attractions and historical sites. It was difficult to find the locations to hop on the bus. At one point, everyone was told to de-board the bus, but there was not an explanation given. Also, there was a lot of dead space through the ear buds, and frequently, the description of the local attraction was given after the bus had passed and the opportunity to hop off had passed.

    It was impossible to find the guide for the walking tour, and the main pool of the spa is with work in progress, someone should have communicated that. Otherwise everything was fine.

    We didn't like that the Széchenyi spa pools were under construction, there was no protection from the work, everyone could see all the people, a lot of noise, not worth the money.
