We can't recommend this tour more! The guide was wonderful and we had a fabulous time; there's no better way to see the city!

Bikes were of very good quality and our tour guide was an enthusiastic , energetic and warm girl who could answer all our questions. We ended up spending some 20 mins extra on the tour. Sometimes speeding a little and cycling on the pavement (which can be fun) and then soaking in the sun at one of the piazzas while she was telling about Hungarian history. The 10 mins ride uphill to the Castle was a steep one but worth it! She was quite helpful and I would recommend this excursion to all who like to combine history with a little bit of physical excercise.

The tour was informative and pleasant, although it does require a reasonable degree of fitness, and you have to be very comfortable on a bike (as well as know how to use gears properly).
The guide was very knowledgeable, and explained himself clearly.
Unfortunately, it took over an hour from the start time until when the tour actually started. This meant that we spent more time on this tour than we expected, and everyone was very hungry by the end, as it was well past lunch time.
The guide did not seem at all concerned about this delay, which was clearly annoying most people on the tour - even after I asked him what the delay was.
Awful bike tour - book something else. Our guide didn't seem to care if she lost people in traffic and I could barely understand a word she said. I learned nothing, had to bike up the castle hill which was awfully steep and our guide rushed the last part of our tour because the company called and needed our bikes back for another group that came in. I am seriously surprised no one has ever been hit by a car on this tour either with how the guide darts in and out of traffic and expects you to follow her. Don't waste your money - there must be better ways out there to enjoy this beautiful city. I especially warn older tourists or people out of shape not to do this tour - I am only 27 and in decent shape and that hill was still too much for me!

very poorly organised, it took an hour to get the bikes and start the tour and a 15 minute walk to get to the stating point. the tour once started was good and the guide helpful.
