Getting around by bike in Budapest has its upsides and shortcomings, but tourists should keep in mind cycling in Budapest can actually be pretty rewarding if they decide to resort to the specialized companies which provide both bike rental services and guided tours in Budapest.
Velo Touring is one of the oldest and most active bike tour companies in Budapest. It also provides cycle tours in Austria, and it has also conceived a vast network of routes which spreads virtually throughout Hungary. Its purpose is to enhance the visibility of sundry regions of Hungary and areas in Budapest in order to reveal to newcomers the specific charm of each of these sites.
Bike Base does not confine to providing bike rental and repair services, but is also organizes guided tours.
However, such tours are set up only on request. The company takes into account all the priorities and interests of its clients, regardless of nature (cultural, leisure-related, nature explorations), and it successfully designs the best routes to meet tourists’ needs.
Yellow Zebra Bikes is one of the companies which provide extensive cycling-related services, bike tours included. In order to participate to one of its tours, visitors don’t necessarily need to make reservations. All they have to do is come at the established meeting moment and place and follow the guides. However, the company is also available for setting up private tours, which is a plus.
The tours put forward by Budapest Bike intend to unveil the architectural, cultural and historical highlights of Budapest. Extensive trips refer to the tours at Lake Balaton, which are of particular interest, since Lake Balaton is, Budapest aside, one of the top tourist attractions of Hungary.
Budapest Bike Breeze stands out by its rich offer of guided tours. Thus, the bike tours designed to unveil the top attractions of Budapest are complemented by further theme tours, such as the wine tours or the kayak tours on the Danube. The bike tours in the rural surroundings of Budapest are also noteworthy, but the private tours made available by the company should also be taken into account by people who want the undivided attention of the guide.
The tours provided by Buda Bike count as some of the highest rated in Hungary. Indeed, the tours organized by this company are as varied as it gets and cover as much as possible from the tourist areas of Budapest and Hungary. At the same time, Buda Bike stands as one of the few companies which pay a special attention to people with reduced mobility, being available for special tours conceived for this category of tourists.
