    About RiverRide
    First in Europe!Budapest – as you can only see it with us Until now you could choose between touring our beautiful capital on four wheels or marvelling at the city from the deck of a pleasure boat. 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.

    Great when you first arrive - if you have kids!

    We stumbled upon this near Chain Bridge after a short walk up the Danube and with our 5 y.o getting very excited it seemed too opportunistic, so we went for it! The bus was clean and inviting with headphones provided to listen to the recorded...More

    Novelty soon wore off.
    Review of: Budapest Sightseeing Tour by Land and Water

    This was ok i suppose. The novelty of travelling very slowly in a floating bus soon wears off. It was a bit overhyped and the fanfare of music before and after "the big splash" just made it seem more boring. Something to do while stuck...More

    Crazy and innovative idea to combine bus and boat. Nice normal tourist tour which ends to an unreal experience in river Donau. Nice!
