El tiempo de espera de los buses. Muy buen servicio . Pasaban con gran frecuencia . Por la distancia entre los diferentes puntos de interés vale la pena tomarlo .

The bus service was very punctual, and the tour was fascinating, with an excellent audio guide available in several languages. The river cruise took place at sunset and was a truly rewarding experience, as it allowed us to enjoy both sides of the city in comfort while taking in the excellent views.

I saw all the highlights of Budapest in two hours. That way, I could decide where to go next to explore the city further. The only thing is that the audio guide doesn’t provide enough information about what you’re seeing. I recommend expanding on that.

This is a really good service. It did take a while to find the bus stops. We were really lucky to get a seat each time we travelled which allowed us to use our given ear plugs to listen to the tourist information and history. However the bus gets very crowded and many just have to stand, so have a poor vision of the sites and obviously can't plug in their earplugs.

Well-organized, but there’s not much space on the open-top bus, and the effort to accommodate guests during the transfers ends up causing inconvenience to those who just want to enjoy the tour—maybe next time

Everything was as described. The bus hop on hop off experience, the walking tour within the city as well as the Danube cruise. They did not charge us more even if we got by the dock 6 at 5.30pm. I definitely recommend it as as way to get an overall view of the city main spots. You can afterwards explore further the city on your own focusing on what you liked more during the tour.
