Up in the clouds out of the city! - What a great use of time! This tour took us out of the city, to a cooler (temperature wise) part of Budapest. Scenic, tree lined streets and beautiful homes. We arrived just as the chairlift was opening so for a while, had the monument to just our small group. If you have the time, I’d highly recommend this tour. You get a birds-eye view of the city.

Amazing view!!! - Although you’ll be walking on a paved road, be aware that it’s a steep climb up to the tower. It’s absolutely worth it once you’re there, though. And the chair lift was a quiet, peaceful ride just above the treetops, providing an amazing view of the city.

A beautiful way to see... - A beautiful way to see the entire city and other regions of Budapest. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. It is a bit of a hike to the top after the chairlift but it’s definitely worth it!!

I sent my son on this... - I sent my son on this chairlift experience. When he got to the meeting point, the guide was there but none of the other patrons. The guide, Victor, kindly offered to take my son around the city, free of charge and take him to a later chairlift with the 12:30 group. As my son was traveling alone, he accepted. He had nothing but wonderful things to say about Victor the guide. Victor showed him sights in the city he might not have seen otherwise. He told him history of Budapest and interesting facts. My son said the day could not have been better. The chairlift experience was top notch! Victor easily could have canceled my son's reservation or told him to come back at 12:30, but he went far out of his way on his own time. Unbelievable kindness! I wish there were more than just 5 stars. This experience made my son's stay in Budapest amazing!

Elizabeth Tower - This event was great! The guide provided great details about the meeting location and specifics to be aware of related to the booking prior to the event date. The chair lift was fun, and there's about a 10-minute walk after the top of the chair lift before you arrive at the Elizabeth Tower lookout point.

Heights looking over Budapest. - Fantastic little trip, from Budapest. Great views from the top, worth the steep walk, just take your time, if you have health conditions or struggle. Victor, our guide allowed as much time as needed, nice chat about things to know about the area. Well worth it.

Making lemonade …. - This would have been terrific if the chairlift had been operating… our guide Viktor was a great sport and salvaged the tour by driving us as far north as he could and then we walked about 30 minutes to get to the lookout tower. It worked out well and there was a stop in the national park where we could use restrooms, get drinks, food and gelato.
