Now you don’t need to choose: RiverRide is a special sightseeing tour on which you can see the sights of Budapest from a comfortable seat, first along its busy streets, and then, from one second to the next – to the gasps of some of your fellow travellers – you splash into the lapping water of the river. « less

Shot tour through the city with main places, shot boat trip till Parlament and back. Not a sightseeing tour and not the boat trip. But! It's a bus on the river! With guide's jokes about danger, changing driver to the captain and other special things. Strongly recommended!

As we arrived to Budapest we saw a bus sailing on Donau and could not believe our eyes, it really looked fun and unbelievable! The next day our friends had arranged us a city sightseeing and we did not that they had planned it on the RiverRide Floating Bus. This trip was 1 hrs 45 minutes long and we enjoyed... More

Our friend had organised this trip and we thought we were going on an ordinary city tour and, as the day was really warm, were a bit disappointed he hadn't gone for an open top bus. This proved to be far more interesting and novel! The guide was excellent and clearly fluent and articulate in a number of languages as... More

RiverRide was recommended by a local friend. The video on their site had me intrigued but the cost (~ 34 USD, Euro 30) made me wonder if we should opt for the Hop on/off type. I am extremely glad we chose RiverRide. This was the second best experience in Budapest, following the Castle District experience – (which you will find... More

Some of you may be familiar with the 'Duck' tours that take place in many cities and this is not so different but is more informative than fun. The Boat/ Coach which I have named the Boach is a fun way to see your surroundings and learn some history into the bargain. You start off on dry land and then... More

We took the RiverRide amphibious bus tour of Budapest yesterday ( Feb 2013) and found it an interesting experience. The tour itself is informative and for our group conducted in English as our small group all understood English but the guide is fluent in other languages. It's not for kids, it's a tour of historic Budapest with interesting facts but... More

Wow, great experience. A combination of a Coach and a Ship and all that in one vehicle is amazing. The moment of dyving into the Danube River is unreal, almost scary. What a relief to see that it seems to be just as capable in the water AS IT IS ON LAND: Budapest is a beautiful City with so much... More

Took the RiverRide Tour in January and was very excited about this unique attraction. Very positive was that the tour left precise on time - no additional waiting for more guests. The Tour took us to the must see´s of Budapest both on land and water without changing vehicles. Very friendly and well skilled tour guide (in our case in... More

I had experiences riding a float plane and amphibious truck but this is my first time to ride a bus on to the river. The first splash upon reaching the water was the highlight of the tour and the changing of the driver for land and switch to a boat captain is "interesting" to note and good to know too... More
