About this activity
You don’t have to choose between touring the beautiful city on four wheels or taking in the sights from the deck of a pleasure boat! After meeting your guide in central Budapest, you’ll do both on board your comfortable amphibious coach.
Heading down the busy streets of the capital, your coach will take you past all its highlights. See the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the first example of Neo-Renaissance architecture in Budapest, completed in 1865. Then, go by the Hungarian Parliament building, seat of the National Assembly and the largest Parliament building in Europe. Admire the exterior limestone ornaments as your guide describes the Gothic Revival style.
When you've covered a lot of ground, join the excited gasps of your fellow travellers as your bus turns into a boat and you splash into the lapping water of the Danube River, admiring gorgeous riverside views before heading back to shore.
Throughout your tour, you'll see the following landmarks:
• St Stephen’s Basilica – the largest church of Budapest
• The Great Synagogue on Dohány Street, Europe’s largest synagogue
• Hungarian State Opera House
• Heroes’ Square, the most impressive square of Budapest where the Millennium Monument stands
• Széchenyi Chain Bridge (Lánchíd) – the first permanent bridge over the Danube between Buda and Pest
• The Royal Palace
• Budapest Parliament
• The Citadel, built as a military fortress on the highest point of the city center – Gellert Hill

We really enjoyed the tour! It was amazing.
Friendly staff and great experience !
The sights we saw in Budapest were good both from land and the Danube however the commentary was unclear at times due to a heavy accent of the tour guide and the ear sets were not very good quality.
Couldn't hear the commentary very well.
Couldn't hear the commentary very well..
After 10 or 15 minutes the bus stopped for about 20 minutes due to road closures because of a visiting diplomatic delegation. The commentary Was switched off and the bus then made a detour. The River segment was shortened and did not cruise past the parliament building. Very disappointing.
The experience of taking a tour by both land and water was unique, and a big fanfare when going down the slipway into the Danube made for a dramatic event. On the negative side, seating was cramped and the aircon was not very effective. The tour itself was nothing special. but the amphibious experience makes it worthwhile.
