Explore Budapest in a Trabant! This is the authentic Trabant city tour with professional driver guide. The Trabant car is the one and only true tangible legacy of the Communist era.

Either you can do an "ordinary" city tour to see the top attractions of Budapest or you have the opportunity to see the "communist face" of Budapest. Come and see the giant statues at Memento Park and learn more about Hungarian life during the previous political system. Doing a Trabant tour is a unique way to see the famous sights of this beautiful city.

Book your private Trabant tour now and do not forget to bring your valid driving license with you. After a short training, you can drive the Trabant car yourself!

A real pleasure to meet a clever guide and in the same time a skilled Trabant driver. Very, very nice :-)

Overall experience brilliant. The Ideal activity for a Petrolhead!

Driver was great Little pricey

This was one of the best tours I have been on. The guide was so knowledgeable and spoke good English he drove us all over Budapest for 2 hours, seeing all of the sites that many people wouldn't see, stopping off to take photos, my husband had a chance to drive for about 10 min. The driver then drove us back to where we wanted to be dropped off. Thoroughly recommend this tour

Communication day before event was reassuring and guide arrived promptly. Greeted well at office and private tour was most enjoyable. BELAJ (?) was a lovely man, explained just the right amount of history and showed us interesting places. Highly recommend this as a private tour.

Lack of communication from Tui or Musement that my tour was cancelled because the ship was sailing before my tour ended. We only found out the it was cancelled because the ships Navigate app showed we were leaving at 5pm,no e mail or note in our room to inform us, no offer to re schedule, we had to ask. No offer of collection from ship & it was a 30 min walk there. No offer of how to get there on local transport. Driver initially brusque with us but did come around and was okay afterwards.
