Highlights
  • Árpád fejedelem útja 125 - Spend an unforgettable afternoon on the Danube river with sightseeing from a super stable raft boat. See the city from a special point of view, without the crowdedness of the most popular places.
    We start our ride from the Northern section of Budapest and as we paddle down along the twist of the river, we pass by all the main attractions, which are perfectly visible from the river. You will see the magnificent Parliament, paddle under all the historical bridges, admire the ridges of the Buda hills as they rise above the city. At the end of our trip we arrive at an intimate bar on the river bank, surrounded by a natural reserve and calm waters. The bar works during the summer months.
    This is a fully guided tour so I will tell stories about the sights and their role in the history of Budapest.
    We provide safety vests and all equipment needed. The boat we use is made for white water adventures, so super stable and almost impossible to tip over.
    Please note that starting point is different than the end point.

Amazing Views of the City and Super Friendly Guide - Gyuri, our guide made the tour so enjoyable. The views were amazing. We were a group of 6 friends and had a lot of fun. You will get to see all the popular ancient spots from the river. Weather was also so pleasant. Gyuri took us to a really cool place for drinks as well! I think this was a very memorable moment for all of us during this trip! Absolutely recommend 🙂

Excellent exactly how I expected - It was beautiful and relaxing rafting at the Danube River and seeing all the beautiful views during the 2 hours trip. Gyuri was so helpful and helped us with all the changes making sure we do the rafting during sunny times avoiding the rainy time in the evenings

Rafting and Balaton - Five of us booked a rafting tour and a day later a tour to the Balaton ("Wine&Hike"). Rafting gives a new view of Budapest from the water and brings a lot of fun and, thanks to Gyuri, also interesting information about the city and its sights. The tour to Lake Balaton was fantastic. An easy hike in a beautiful landscape and then a jump into Lake Balaton. Then we went to the very beautiful winery Sabar. The owner Gabor took a lot of time for explanations and the wine was tasty, too ;-) A gorgeous sunset rounded off the day. Many thanks to Niki and Gyuri for the great organization and pleasant conversations. We can only warmly recommend the tours and you. Thanks and all the best!

Budapest views - We had a wonderful raft trip with Gyrorgy in Budapest. He adjusted the times to suit the weather and to give us a memorable day. He is very knowledgeable about this beautiful city and it was a great experience to see it from the water. As a couple of Canadian seniors we felt very safe in his capable hands. Highly recommend this adventure.

Danube river rafting adventure - My husband and my 18 year old son did the river rafting tour on the Danube. We had a fantastic time! Our tour guide, Gyuri, was extremely friendly and accommodating. He pointed out all the historic sights while we casually paddled down the River Danube. We lucked out with the beautiful weather. At the end of our trip our guide treated us with refreshments! Would highly recommend!!!! Thanks for a fantastic evening!

Rafting and Wildcamping during Bachelorweekend - During our bachelorweekend we booked the rafting on the donau. Gyuri was our guide for the weekend (because the day after we also booked the wildcamping). RAFTING He did explain everything very good and clear. The donau is streaming at 5 to 8km (depending on the season), the are not really wild parts of the river. But still it was a really fun acitivity to do. You will get a good workout if you want in the raftboots or you could just let the river do the work and enjoy the view of the nice buildings next to the river. The guide also knows a lot of info about this. WILDCAMPING The next day Gyuri picked us up to go for the wildcamping. This was really nice experience. As a nature/ outdoor guy myself i must say that the place Gyuri brought us was really great. He for sure knows the area as a guide. As a person he's really relaxed in communication and tries to give us the best weekend possible. He made a traditional Hungarian Stew, really good meat and nice honest ingredients. One thing a friend noticed about Gyuri was: That he's there (visible) to arrange everything we needed for the wildcamping and invisible at the same time so that our group could just stay the group! A perfect leader. We had an awesome weekend in Budapest and i would definitly book this guide again! Thank you Gyuri.
