A Budapest Segway Tour is a good and exciting way to discover Budapest. For all of you who don’t know what a Segway is these are the fancy two wheel vehicles which you control with your body movement. In some cities you can see them used as a daily transport method and in some, such as Budapest, as a new way of sightseeing.

Now that you are ready to go and know how to use a Segway in Budapest the tour can start.
