It was a pleasure to see places we hadn't reached. It's a good idea - you can use the bus as many times as you want along the route during its operation. The green route is difficult to get on (it runs once an hour). It's better not to sit on the top floor of the bus - you'll get your head hot, and most often there is glass or a ceiling - you can't take good pictures. We received instructions about the departure point along the Danube in the mail, which was convenient. Basically, the dock is marked with a sign. You don't have to sit upstairs on the boat either, it's better to sit downstairs - you won't get hot and the wind won't blow, the windows are big - you can take good pictures.

The ticketing process was smooth. I was able to find and use the tickets via my email. The tour was good too. My only frustration is that so many seats on the top of the red bus didn't work. I had to share my headset with my husband. This made it difficult to hear the description of the site's. The other issue is that it was hard to connect the description to the site. Most of this was due to not being able to slow down and 'see' the site & hear all about it. This is out of your control, I do understand that.

Cool we were able to see all the magnificent places and monuments listed by unesco. This city is superb and the Hungarians are very friendly. The monuments are extraordinarily beautiful, a real change of scenery with a very pleasant cruise on the Danube.

audio guide commentary arrives too early in relation to the monument (more than 500m behind). Visibility in some buses insufficient in the lower section and obscured in the upper section by protective tarpaulins. lack of information on what to see at the various stops.

Although the tour covered all major spots, the support team was very rude. They neither helped us with the queries, nor directed us to the right buses at the changeover points. In fact, they made fun of us for asking them for the directions for the river cruise, which is very unlikely in the hospitality industry. So, an experience which was supposed to be fulfilling and fun, turned out to be sour for us.

El recorrido es muy bueno. La cantidad de lugares que se visitan permite conocer ampliamente Budapest. La navegscion es una experiencia hermosa. Algunos inconvenientes fueron que la.audioguia no andaba en el asiento. Que no se enunciaban las paradas en los distintos idiomas. Y que algunas paradas estaban lejos de la atracción qué se señalaba

I enjoyed the experience of commuting throughout Budapest and seeing the local tourist attractions and historical sites. It was difficult to find the locations to hop on the bus. At one point, everyone was told to de-board the bus, but there was not an explanation given. Also, there was a lot of dead space through the ear buds, and frequently, the description of the local attraction was given after the bus had passed and the opportunity to hop off had passed.

What I loved the most about this experience was entering lots of saunas and pools. I had a really different experience for me.

Very nice different pools at different temperatures But it's a pity that the 50 m pool is being renovated.

The Szechenyi Thermal baths were fantastic. What a lovely experience, varying from the thermal outdoor pools to a wide variety of indoor pools, all at different temperatures. Everything was well organised and easy to navigate.

The reservation with Headout was no problem. We went in and everything we booked was included. Széchenyi Spa was a disappointment. Too many people and the outside pools were separated by a tarp (perhaps construction work) which made it look bad. I regret having opted for this spa. I am sure any other in Budapest would have been a more pleasant experience. I will be back

A great day out and once in a lifetime experience, however the main pool is closed for refurbishment (as you can see on the right of the photograph, there was scaffolding all round it) which we had not been told about. We would've chosen a different experience had we known. Was a bit disappointing.

Although the actual baths were awesome there were some points that needed to be made. The biggest one obviously is the elephant in the room which is that nearly half the outside area is totally unavailable as the central swimming zone is being repaired and was covered by tarpaulin of some sort which was really ugly. I think this inconvenience should be reflected in some sort of a discount on the price. It was also exceptionally busy at the weekend but apart from these two issues it was undoubtedly a once in a lifetime experience which I would highly recommend.

The spaciousness of the leisure space offered by the hot springs. In addition, as we went on a weekday, the number of people was much smaller than if we had gone on a weekend, which is appreciated.

The space was beautiful, it was just a shame that the larger spa was under construction, but I found the experience incredible. I loved the fact that the side spas had different temperatures, with one being hotter and more relaxing, and the other being cooler. I think the infrastructure is worthy of applause, even with a lot of people you could swim to your heart's content. The interior was equally beautiful, with many different pools and baths. I would definitely go back to experience it again. Thank you

The entrance was quick. The locker is in a dressing room next to more lockers, it is not private, but it is correct. Apart from the outside space, which is not accessible from inside, there are several other rooms inside with different pools at different temperatures. In my opinion, 2-3 hours is enough to see it and enjoy everything.

Lugar bonito y agradable, cuesta encontrar la puerta de acceso. Piscina en reparación por lo que no pudimos utilizarla y pagamos la entrada completa. Pocos wc para muchas personas y hay público que lo utiliza para vestirse. Debería estar más controlado.

Acceptable is fine and I didn't necessarily have to have any problems. But for an experience to be good or excellent we are talking about the facilities being unbeatable and everything being at the client's disposal.

The thermal baths are a real blast! Although the central outdoor pool is under construction, everything else is in operation and worth a visit. The cruise on the Danube at night was spectacular! We forgot the headphones and still we could download the pdf guide that explained in writing the same as the audio guide said, in order and with pictures! A 10!!! I recommend you to take the side where the guide starts (download it first in the QR that there is at the entrance and look what is the first thing that speaks to you), in our case it was the right side. If we come back we will repeat!

Very nice cruise with stunning views and the perfect angles for good souvenir photos. The shecheny baths was very impressive but they don't tell you that the main pool is under repair and limits the experience a bit. But still worth the check out ✅️

Frankly, it's pleasant, but the work on the central pool really spoils the overall impression, which is a shame! Also, it's not very well maintained given the price per person: lots of chipped tiles on the floors, paintwork... I'm a bit disappointed!

The water outside had a nice and warm temperature. Nice to have steps to sit on . I thought the showers were fine but little room to dry yourself and the door was open into the hall, so my opinion is that the shower room could be updated. The baths inside were nice as well as the saunas. All the best from Iceland :-))

Booking was very easy, but the entrance door to the spas was not well communicated with the reception and we had to do a little unnecessary walking around on my part.

Everything worked out wonderfully. It was easy to find our way around, we had a locker but no cabin. The bathroom was being remodeled, so only a good, it could have been specified. There are a lot of people there but you don't really feel it. We benefited from the sauna and steam room and so after the bath I had no more pain in my legs after a long time.

The bathrooms, although located in the original setting, are clean and efficient. I spent half a day in full relaxation. Dozens of pools and environments to discover. Easy vouchers to convert at the ticket counter in front of the entrance. Unique experience.

Not enough time to do all we wanted. Next time we need to come for at least 3 days, even then probably wont get round to doing everything, fantastic that you can but 24 hour 48, and 72 hour tickets. So much to see. On a down side stop 17 whilst the church there is very beautiful. There is a gathering of homeless and drunk people, drugs, alcohol, and public urination. Would strongly advise people to avoid this stop.

The ticketing process was smooth. I was able to find and use the tickets via my email. The tour was good too. My only frustration is that so many seats on the top of the red bus didn't work. I had to share my headset with my husband. This made it difficult to hear the description of the site's. The other issue is that it was hard to connect the description to the site. Most of this was due to not being able to slow down and 'see' the site & hear all about it. This is out of your control, I do understand that.

Good schedules and organization. The best part of the experience was the walking tour. Unfortunately, the boat ride was through the southern part of the city and not where the main buildings are.
