The staff were really nice and friendly, would highly recommend. 👍”

He made sure we were entertained all the time with many stops to tells us interesting facts and spooky tales while also making sure everybody was safe in the budapeste snow. Very good experience overall. Be aware you have to climb stair all the way to the top of the castle but we were givwn plenty of time to do so.”

Review of Budapest’s night walking tour and Danube cruise, with illuminated sights, local history, practical tips, value advice, and honest drawbacks.

“My wife and I were fortunate enough to get this as a private tour. Having a senior moment, I forgot our tour guide's name, but she did a wonderful job introducing us to the lovely city of Budapest, educated us on the history, the culture, the people, the food...it was wonderful! We really only concentrated on one section of the city, from the Opera House to the waterfront, but that was plenty to absorb. We finished with a lovely 1 hour boat ride at dark up and down the Danube. Some wonderful night sites on both sides of the river, and it was a perfect way to end our first…”

See Budapest after dark by MonsteRoller e-scooter, from Chain Bridge to Fisherman’s Bastion, with practical tips on safety, timing, and value.

“This is a great way to experience Budapest at night! Easy to use scooters and a great route made for a very fun ride around town! We had some minor issues with some of the other folks on the tour who were not very comfortable on a bike of any kind, so I recommend that you can ride a bike at a minimum. If you have any experience with an e-bike, lime scooter, or anything like that, you will have a great time!!!”
