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 :-)

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

Overall experience brilliant. The Ideal activity for a Petrolhead!

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.

The guide was superb and knowledgable. The car was great fun and the guide tailored the tour to suit us. The only negative was the arrangements to meet the car and guide which was very hit and miss. It relied on me seeing an email the day before the tour and I don't really check emails on holiday. I feel TUI should take more responsibility for sorting out the meeting point with the tour company

Nice to be driven round in an old car by someone who is so knowledgeable
