Summary:
Loved this tour! The Segway's were a fun option to see the major city sights in a short period of time. I would recommend taking the longer option so that you can see both Buda and Pest. Jose was a great guide and very knowledgeable!

Summary:
Great way to get an overview of important sights. You can cover miles including up hills without effort on a Segway. My wife and I have worked as Segway Tour Guides in the USA. Our guide Sam gave a great tour and the equipment was well maintained. (Very hard to do as these Segways are not made anymore)
