Traveler Tips
- "However, it does stop running very early in the evening so chart out your tip before you begin to ensure you are where you need to be at 5PM when the bus stops." See review
- "It is confusing at the bottom of the hill as to which tour company honors the Big Bus passes, so you have to ask before you get in line." See review
- "Rather budget on spending separately to take a day or night boat trip (a night-time boat trip is essential in Budapest)." See review

Bad experience in Budapest
Phathiwe_K
, Apr 2022
None because I was pressed for time. But I was hoping to do the river cruise. It didn’t happen because even though I was told the round trip takes 1hr 40min, it took two hours because the drivers stand around talking and don’t care that some people need to connect with the cruise at 12. Officers at the ticket office are unfriendly and abrupt.

Handy way to get around the city, wish it ran later
Coreen_J

Very handy to get around the city and get some information at the same time. I like to walk around a lot, but this got me to the farther out spots (city park, Gellért Square) in between. English audio tour was a little hard to understand, due to thick accent of narrator.
Included a one hour Danube cruise, which was a nice bonus. I did the one at night, which was a bit chilly, but a cool way to see the city lit up. Unfortunately, the times in the map were listed wrong, so I had to wait an extra half hour for the last cruise. Biggest disappointment was that the hours for the bus didn't run longer (ended by 5pm). I got stuck at Castle Hill later in the day, past when the last bus ran, so ended up walking all the way back to the Pest side (about 40 minutes). Since it's light until 7-8pm, a 7pm end time would've helped a lot.

Better organization and communication of accurate information are greatly needed by this company. In the app and online there were different instructions for how to get your online voucher validated e.g. at the office, by staff at the main stops, etc. In the end, it seemed the best option was to go to the office but on arrival at the office, we were informed we had to email the QR code to the office (?) from our phones. However, after some failed attempts to do this, the person managing the reception desk said he could in fact just scan the QR code on our phone?? We were not the only customers having these problems. Further, the time shown for the guided walk on the app was 1pm whereas it was and had been for some time in fact at 11!! Last the directions given for the boat trip were limited to 'dock 6' but attempts to get better directions via the support service did not work. We were on a tight schedule and missed out on both the walk and boat trip. The hop on and off service was OK but I would either double-check everything before leaving for Budapest at the least. I will not book with this company again.
Great

Walk was the most interesting part. Felt on bus it was a bit too fast and needed more info on stops.
Also having paid in advance it is a pest ( no pun) to have to go to an office to pick up ticket when imo it should be capable of being used from mobile or at worst issued at any of the stops

Lucky dip!

The first bus we caught had no headphones and was over crowded. The plastic on the upper deck did not help for a good view and we were no better off than taking a walk as we learnt nothing about the surroundings. The second and third buses were better

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
