The experience

The tour starts with a brief training session so you're confident on the Segway before the route begins. Once you're ready, your local guide leads you through Budapest's neighborhoods, stopping at major sites like the Chain Bridge, Buda Castle, Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church on the Buda side, then crossing to Pest to see the Hungarian Parliament Building, Heroes' Square and City Park. The route covers ground a walking tour would take hours to manage, and you stay fresh the whole time.

Your guide points out details most visitors miss: stories about Hungarian traditions, the architecture along Andrássy Avenue, the views from Gellért Hill and the Liberty Statue. Margaret Island appears on longer tours, with stops at the Musical Fountain and Japanese Garden. The Széchenyi Thermal Baths and House of Terror Museum are also on the route depending on which option you choose. You get a raincoat if the weather turns, and the guide takes photos at the best spots.

Four options let you pick the pace: the 1-hour Riverside tour sticks to the waterfront and key bridges; the 1.5-hour Margaret Island route focuses on the island and its gardens; the 2-hour Fisherman's Bastion option covers the Buda hilltop landmarks; the 5-hour VIP tour hits everything. Both banks, the hills, the parks and the museums. Tours run in all weather, so dress for the conditions. Children must be at least 8 years old and weigh at least 35 kg to ride.
