Russian Jeep Tour - Tour guide arrived promptly. He was very friendly and very knowledgeable. He made the experience much more enjoyable given his humour and approachability. We stopped at 4 main points for 20/25 mins each time.

Leslie the legend! - A must do when visiting Budapest for the first time. Our driver Leslie (sorry, I don't know how to spell the Hungarian version) was an absolute gentleman and made the journey very enjoyable. He was very kind, helping us in and out of the jeep on each stop. We took the day tour which was 3 hours. It was very chilled with 4x stops where we were allowed out to explore and take photographs for 15 minutes each time. Leslie very kindly took some photographs for us and even took my phone and crossed the tram tracks to get good pictures of the parliament building. He had a few surprises for us on the journey which I won't spoil for other people. We gathered alot of attention from pedestrians and other road users who were waving at us... it gave me a few hours of feeling famous! 😀 I visited in December and booked the 13:30 slot so got to see the best of both worlds as it was almost dark on our return journey and the lights of the city were beautiful. The 4x4 has headed seats if you need them but we found it comfortable without them. All in all, a very relaxing tour where we got to see alot of the city in a short space of time. Leslie was an utter gentlemen and kept us out past our cut if time as the 55 year old jeep broke down during the tour but he more than made up for it and we found it quite funny. Our utmost thanks to Leslie and the team. Highly recommend 😊

Simply outstanding in every way and cannot recommend this tour enough! - We have just returned from a weekend in Budapest celebrating two 50th Birthdays. Wow...what a great experience this private tour was. We got to see so much of Budapest we would have never seen without the jeeps. We experienced the most wonderful alcoholic beverages along the way (a liquor, champagne and mulled wine) with the best being champagne whilst experiencing a panoramic view of Budapest. Laszlo and his team were simply amazing. They gave us plenty of time to step off the jeeps and explore locally, took plenty of photos for us and were very knowledgeable. We have done many weekends away but this was by far the most fun. It ticked all the boxes for our middle aged group - the boys loved the jeeps and the girls were toasty warm (Laszlo even provided blankets which we didn't need despite the snow!). I honestly cannot recommend this tour enough from start to finish. Its different to anything we've ever done and the memories will stay with us forever. Thank you Laszlo and your team. You were truly outstanding in every possible way. Regards from 12 middle aged cronies from Essex, UK! xx

Jeep experience was not worth it. - Our driver was lovely. The wider ‘experience’ was average at best. Jeep was struggling to even move / go for the first 10 mins. We basically stalled driving around Hero’s Square. When we stopped I thought the driver was going to call for another vehicle. However, he seemed to get it going eventually. Didn’t expect much / any heating so wasn’t disappointed on that front. Audio commentary was poor. Helped a little bit by our driver who tried his best. No seat belts was a little surprising. Kids (14 and 12) loved it however. We (parents) would probably have just sacked it off after the first stop it it wasn’t for them.
