Choose the departure time most suited to you, then meet your private guide in the center of Budapest. After a safety briefing, put on your optional helmet and listen to an illuminating overview of Budapest’s history from your guide to put you in picture.
Your tour is customizable, so discuss the option of tailoring the route to focus on any aspect of the city or sights of particular interest to you. Then, set off behind your guide, cycling along Pest’s elegant avenues and stopping at the sights for photos and to hear fascinating facts about the landmarks in front of you.
Pedal by the Prague State Opera and along Andrassy Avenue, pausing at leafy Elizabeth Square to admire its beautiful Danube Fountain. Visit Heroes' Square and pose for photos at the imposing Millennium Monument as your guide reveals how it commemorates the seven Magyar tribal chieftains who led their peoples into Hungary.
Continue into City Park to see Vajdahunyad Castle and peek inside the Széchenyi Baths, one of Europe’s largest spa complexes, with its palatial thermal pools.
Next, ride to St Stephen’s Basilica, named after Hungary’s first king, before heading to the magnificent Hungarian Parliament Building on the banks of the Danube River. Then, cycle along the tree-dotted Danube Promenade to take photos of the Chain Bridge, Margaret Bridge and Margaret Island.
Cross the river to explore the UNESCO-listed Buda Castle District. Hear how this historical quarter became a major seat of power in 15th-century Europe and cruise around its cobblestoned lanes past Baroque buildings such as the Royal Palace and Matthias Church. Finish at the Fisherman’s Bastion, with time to absorb the panoramas over Pest and the Danube River from its terraces.
Stop for a coffee and traditional Hungarian pastry, and on your way back to Pest, see the Great Market Hall, Hungarian National Museum and the Great Synagogue, with its Moorish-style domes.
Your tour then ends at the start point, when you say goodbye to your guide.
