It was a great way to get the bearings around the city. We were able to get to all the "great to visit" places easily. Two day was plenty for this

Ticketing experience with headout was very easy and appreciated. The overall combo (HOHO + Bath) was a decent deal and we enjoyed the experience. Only drawback was the time frame allowed for HOHO ending at 5pm each day, would have been great if it continued thru the evening to maximize all the sites.

We liked the fact that we could take the bus to the stop of our choice. Then we could get off to visit a site and get back on another bus, which was really appreciated. The cruise on the Danube is very nice. We had a really pleasant day thanks to your tourist bus.

The bus allows you to go from one tourist spot to another at any time. The explanations are very interesting. We took it for 48 hours. Very convenient. We could not enjoy the boat ride because the Danube was overflowing. The spa is very nice, with a decadent air. Like everything else, depending on the time and season it will be more or less crowded. Pools of different temperatures, some under repair. A pleasant and fun time outside. We spent 2 hours and it was more than enough. It is essential to bring swimsuit, flip flops and towel. Hat only for the swimming pool. The hammocks fill up quickly, although it is best to soak in them. I would repeat without hesitation!

Could see entire city with the most beautiful places. Sometimes too hot because the roof was closed. Excellent service from staff. Only thing was that I had to pick up the tickets for the boat trip separately in an office. Was about 2 km extra walk because I only found out when we were about to board. We were not let on board without printed tickets. I was not informed that I had to carry those printed separately. Otherwise fine.

Very convenient and quickly gives a first introduction to the city! If you start in the morning, you can take it for one day. If you start in the afternoon, you should definitely take two days. Especially since the price difference is not big.

One of the offices were good as we couldn't get a signal and we booked online earlier the office printed some tickets off for us. We have used loads of these in numerous cities. We usually do a full circuit then make notes of where we'd like to get off to view. Jump back in the bus and get off at the next place we'd like to view.

The speakers on o e bus were so bad you could t u derstand anything the guide was saying, it was just noise. The speakers on the boat didn't work so we didn't get any information on the river cruise. On another bus the audio was cutting in and out, and I moved to different seats to try but it was the same. In the end I gave up and I didn't learn any history which is a shame, such a beautiful city. I really liked the actual tour and it was great having the online map to see where I could get the bus from. It would be really helpful if the audio was available on your pho e and if you could follow the map on your phone while on the tour, then you could see all the historic places on the map and find out more about them...as an interactive process

It was easy to use the hoho-busses. The sound was good and it was interesting to hear the guide. On the downside was that is was quite hard to find the bus stops especially the green line on the Buda side.

4/5

De bus was ideaal omdat je op 1 dag een groot deel van de stad kon zien met alle belangrijke bezienswaardigheden. Het was alleen jammer dat de bus in de kastelenwijk (aan de boeda kant) niet direct bij alle bezienswaardigheden stopte maar dat je nog een stuk moest lopen. Ook deden de kastjes met informatie niet allemaal of viel een deel van de informatie weg.

Der Tag im Bad war scön. Hat zwar ein bisschen gedauert, bis wir eine Liege bekommen haben, aber dann hatten wir ein schönes Plätzchen. Die Becken im Außenbereich waren super. Die Thermalbecken innen haben nicht so richtig zum Baden eingeladen (Farbe war eher so grün). Die Gebäude rundherum machen das Erlebnis aus. Man fühlt sich direkt in ein anderes Jahrhundert versetzt. Das 48h-Ticket haben wir nur an einem Tag genutzt. Konnten sowohl den BigBus als auch die roten HopOn-HopOff Busse nutzen. Es gibt nur eine Runde. Der Sprecher war nicht synchron und es haben immer wieder Textpassagen gefehlt. So haben wir keine wirkliche Erklärung zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten bekommen. Die inkludierte Bootsfahrt war ganz ohne Erklärungen. Sie dauerte ca. 50 Minuten und war okay.

I liked the route and the possibility of getting off and on the bus at the most important points of interest. As I took the boat trip after 5pm, I had to pay €5, and I think that's a bad price to pay for a short ride on the Danube. However, it was worth it!

Is smart that you just jump on and off as many times as you want. A folder about the attractions could have been good... spent a lot of time setting the headphones, so information was lost there.

It was lovely city,very beautiful.... But couldn't hear the person telling us about stops etc,as this wasn't said through ear phones.. Also changing a bus? Don't get that,I use these buses world wide and staff change,not the whole bus getting off asnd on to another each day,very inconvenient & as we had a disabled friend with us,was but of a problem. Having said all that staff were kind & courteous . . Ticket was extended 3 rd day,so we really appreciated this.

3/5

We used it over 3 days. Experience was good and bad. In general audio was clear and had interesting facts. On one bus with a table downstairs the audio was completely stuck on Hungarian only, I got the Tour bus courier to verify this. I didn't have the option to move because I was on crutches and with a folding wheel chair to mind. Some buses had ramps ,many didn't. The steps were very high to use crutches but the staff were generally patient and helped me to get in and out. The black adhesive layer on the windows of the left side of the bus greatly obscures the view of the sights. Many people had obviously peeled some off to see. There's nothing to secure a wheelchair from rolling or falling over. One staff member let my chair fall and left it lyuout into the pathway of other passengers so I had to stay alert to warn people about the hazard of tripping over it and so I didn't enjoy that trip. It is very confusing about where the boat trips go from . Yes it is stop 2 or 13, but we got a taxi to it because of my crutches and we were not able to say dock 6 and it was not easy to find. All signs at stops could be made larger and easier to identify. The buses were clean and punctual, most of the staff were fine.

3/5

The guides and drivers were competent, but the big problem was the lack of visibility at the stops. The tour also went round in circles at certain points. As far as the thermal baths were concerned, they were a breeding ground for microbes: the changing rooms were very dirty, the baths overcrowded and the population very young and noisy. We didn't bathe and left immediately.

A good overview of sights. We found a stop one past Opera to join the bus.we were then told we had to go to Opera as the bus didn't stop where we were. Along with 4 other people ,we caught the bus and it then went to our original place. Quite confusing! Hard to line commentary with some sights!

The buses run different routes, so you may not see any sights ... On a sightseeing tour, I want to be able to see all (as many as possible) of the interesting sights in a city / surrounding area, get off if necessary and continue on the next bus.

I recently visited Budapest and was truly enchanted by the city's charm. The stunning architecture, especially the Parliament Building and Buda Castle, took my breath away. The thermal baths were a unique and relaxing experience, and strolling along the Danube River at night, with the city lights reflecting on the water, was unforgettable. The local cuisine was delicious, with dishes like goulash and chimney cakes being highlights. Budapest's vibrant culture, friendly locals, and rich history make it a must-visit destination. Highly recommended!

Ticketing experience with headout was very easy and appreciated. The overall combo (HOHO + Bath) was a decent deal and we enjoyed the experience. Only drawback was the time frame allowed for HOHO ending at 5pm each day, would have been great if it continued thru the evening to maximize all the sites.

The bus allows you to go from one tourist spot to another at any time. The explanations are very interesting. We took it for 48 hours. Very convenient. We could not enjoy the boat ride because the Danube was overflowing. The spa is very nice, with a decadent air. Like everything else, depending on the time and season it will be more or less crowded. Pools of different temperatures, some under repair. A pleasant and fun time outside. We spent 2 hours and it was more than enough. It is essential to bring swimsuit, flip flops and towel. Hat only for the swimming pool. The hammocks fill up quickly, although it is best to soak in them. I would repeat without hesitation!

Could see entire city with the most beautiful places. Sometimes too hot because the roof was closed. Excellent service from staff. Only thing was that I had to pick up the tickets for the boat trip separately in an office. Was about 2 km extra walk because I only found out when we were about to board. We were not let on board without printed tickets. I was not informed that I had to carry those printed separately. Otherwise fine.

One of the offices were good as we couldn't get a signal and we booked online earlier the office printed some tickets off for us. We have used loads of these in numerous cities.

The speakers on o e bus were so bad you could t u derstand anything the guide was saying, it was just noise. The speakers on the boat didn't work so we didn't get any information on the river cruise. On another bus the audio was cutting in and out, and I moved to different seats to try but it was the same. In the end I gave up and I didn't learn any history which is a shame, such a beautiful city. I really liked the actual tour and it was great having the online map to see where I could get the bus from. It would be really helpful if the audio was available on your pho e and if you could follow the map on your phone while on the tour, then you could see all the historic places on the map and find out more about them...as an interactive process

De bus was ideaal omdat je op 1 dag een groot deel van de stad kon zien met alle belangrijke bezienswaardigheden. Het was alleen jammer dat de bus in de kastelenwijk (aan de boeda kant) niet direct bij alle bezienswaardigheden stopte maar dat je nog een stuk moest lopen. Ook deden de kastjes met informatie niet allemaal of viel een deel van de informatie weg.

Der Tag im Bad war scön. Hat zwar ein bisschen gedauert, bis wir eine Liege bekommen haben, aber dann hatten wir ein schönes Plätzchen. Die Becken im Außenbereich waren super. Die Thermalbecken innen haben nicht so richtig zum Baden eingeladen (Farbe war eher so grün). Die Gebäude rundherum machen das Erlebnis aus. Man fühlt sich direkt in ein anderes Jahrhundert versetzt. Das 48h-Ticket haben wir nur an einem Tag genutzt. Konnten sowohl den BigBus als auch die roten HopOn-HopOff Busse nutzen. Es gibt nur eine Runde. Der Sprecher war nicht synchron und es haben immer wieder Textpassagen gefehlt. So haben wir keine wirkliche Erklärung zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten bekommen. Die inkludierte Bootsfahrt war ganz ohne Erklärungen. Sie dauerte ca. 50 Minuten und war okay.

We used it over 3 days. Experience was good and bad. In general audio was clear and had interesting facts. On one bus with a table downstairs the audio was completely stuck on Hungarian only, I got the Tour bus courier to verify this. I didn't have the option to move because I was on crutches and with a folding wheel chair to mind. Some buses had ramps ,many didn't. The steps were very high to use crutches but the staff were generally patient and helped me to get in and out. The black adhesive layer on the windows of the left side of the bus greatly obscures the view of the sights. Many people had obviously peeled some off to see. There's nothing to secure a wheelchair from rolling or falling over. One staff member let my chair fall and left it lyuout into the pathway of other passengers so I had to stay alert to warn people about the hazard of tripping over it and so I didn't enjoy that trip. It is very confusing about where the boat trips go from . Yes it is stop 2 or 13, but we got a taxi to it because of my crutches and we were not able to say dock 6 and it was not easy to find. All signs at stops could be made larger and easier to identify. The buses were clean and punctual, most of the staff were fine.

The guides and drivers were competent, but the big problem was the lack of visibility at the stops. The tour also went round in circles at certain points. As far as the thermal baths were concerned, they were a breeding ground for microbes: the changing rooms were very dirty, the baths overcrowded and the population very young and noisy. We didn't bathe and left immediately.

We went on a Monday and although it was quite crowded, you could enjoy the pools because it was not crowded. There were lookers and places to sit and leave things. We didn't have to wait in line because they were quick to assist us, so we got in without any problems.

Very convenient combi entry to the spa and the evening cruise. For the cruise, I recommend showing up at least 20 minutes before departure as the 7:30 and 7:40 pm ones are merged and a very long line is created.

The hot springs are sold as something extraordinary and not at all, they are nothing out of this world, very crowded, and it is cheaper to buy the ticket at the box office.

Ticketing experience with headout was very easy and appreciated. The overall combo (HOHO + Bath) was a decent deal and we enjoyed the experience. Only drawback was the time frame allowed for HOHO ending at 5pm each day, would have been great if it continued thru the evening to maximize all the sites.

This was a completely new experience for my husband and myself - and we come from New York City, where we thought we had everything! Besides the pleasure of relaxing in warm water, we loved the entire facility with all its modern conveniences -Bluetooth wristbands to gorgeous 1900 architecture and decor to whirlpool river. And to have in and out access all day long was a great way to begin and end our day. Unfortunately I took no photos as I did not know if it was allowed. I loved this experience.

Everything went very smoothly with the entrance. The pools inside the building are unfortunately getting on in years. But the entrance fee is worth it just for the pools outside.

There was a wide variety of baths and saunas to enjoy. However, the clothing policy is not respected by lots of visitors without staff pointing this out. Also the entrance and exit are through the same little gate, which caused a hold up and therefore frustration with the guests.

Could see entire city with the most beautiful places. Sometimes too hot because the roof was closed. Excellent service from staff. Only thing was that I had to pick up the tickets for the boat trip separately in an office. Was about 2 km extra walk because I only found out when we were about to board. We were not let on board without printed tickets. I was not informed that I had to carry those printed separately. Otherwise fine.

Is smart that you just jump on and off as many times as you want. A folder about the attractions could have been good... spent a lot of time setting the headphones, so information was lost there.

Hi, the experience was acceptable and not great because on one of the two buses we took it was very cold and because the audio guide was very superficial compared to other European cities. The beauty of City Sight Seeing is just being able to listen to the guide as you travel, if there is little information there is no point in spending 30 euros. Thank you

With buses running in regular loops, you can build your itinerary on the go.

How to choose the best Hop-on Hop-off tour

It is crucial to select the Hop-on Hop-off Budapest bus tour that aligns with your travel preferences, ensuring an enjoyable exploration of the city.

  • Routes: Big Bus focuses primarily on the Red Route (covering Central Budapest), while City Sightseeing provides access to both the Red and Green Routes (including scenic greenery and recreational areas). Add the Green Route to your itinerary to discover hidden gems, beyond the main historic sites.
  • Pass duration: Choose the 24-hour pass if you’re short on time and want a quick overview of the city highlights. The 48-hour pass is more balanced and cheaper than buying two separate 24-hour passes. For a truly immersive experience, pick the 72-hour pass by City Sightseeing including both routes.
  • Perks: All passes include a 1-hour Danube River Cruise that captures the city’s beauty from a whole new perspective and multilingual audio guides that add a layer of meaning to the visuals, making your experience more memorable and educational.
