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.

4/5

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.

3/5

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.

A great way to explore and get to know Budapest. Friendly staff and bus drivers. The only complaint is about the state of the deck on the upper deck of one of the buses, which was damaged during the journey.

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.

A great way to explore and get to know Budapest. Friendly staff and bus drivers. The only complaint is about the state of the deck on the upper deck of one of the buses, which was damaged during the journey.

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 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.

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.

We visited Széchenyi Spa first thing in the morning, and we highly recommend doing the same! The facilities were very clean, and it wasn’t too crowded at that time. Getting a cabin ticket was definitely worth it for privacy and convenience. We stayed for about two hours, which felt like the perfect amount of time to enjoy the experience without feeling rushed.

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 :-))

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.

As it was hot, the water wasn't too hot, it was lukewarm, which made perfect sense. It was a shame not to be able to use the large pool due to the renovations, but apart from that we had a lovely sunny afternoon! I'd definitely go back on a cooler day to try the warmer water.

We booked tickets for a day with lockers and locker room. We arrived early in the morning and found very few people at the entrance. We were able to get some loungers without any problems. Too bad there was a construction site to fix the central outdoor pool.The interior is very large but well maintained. It really feels like 'entering the spa in the early 1900s.

A "must" of the city. We went after 3 days walking around the city and it was wonderful to spend the day in hot springs and saunas to relax the body completely. You don't have to wear a hat but you do have to wear your hair up if you have long hair. There are bars on the premises if you want to have a drink between baths but it is very expensive. You can take things from the locker whenever you want. Very organized and with maps inside the enclosure to know which pool is at what temperature. We went on a Sunday at 13:30 and left at 17:30, it was quite crowded.

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.

It was very good, it's just a shame that the visit to the castle isn't part of the package, even though it's a service provided by another operator

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.

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.
