Budapest Fairy Garden Tour Overview

Join us for a journey taking you to the enchanting Margaret Island, one of the most captivating parks in Europe. On this 2-hour e-scooter adventure, you will visit Margitsziget, a serene 95-hectare green oasis in the Danube, nestled in the heart of bustling Budapest.

Feel the thrill of riding our MonsteRoller electric scooters in this traffic-restricted area! Our e-scooters have wide wheels, a low platform, and release zero emissions.

All this adds up to an experience with the stability of a scooter, the ease of a bicycle, and a sensation that can only be described as surfing the pavement.

Led by one of our expert guides, this Margaret Island Fairy Garden Tour offers a unique way of seeing the place locals call “the city’s lungs” — all while combining thrilling fun, easy travel, and unbeatable convenience.

Discover the mesmerising sights along the route, including the magnificent Castle Garden Bazaar and the best view of the Parliament from across the river.

On Margaret Island, marvel at the Musical Fountain, encounter adorable creatures in the parks and at the Mini Zoo, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Rose and Light Gardens. You can step back in time at the Medieval Dominican Convent and admire the Water Tower and the Japanese Garden.

Great fun riding through a beautiful park

A highlight of our trip to Budapest! A two-hour tour taking some secret places and points of interest on our way to Margaret Island. Lots of fun had, zooming through the park with our knowledgeable and entertaining guide Attila, who took some great photos and video of us. Highly recommended!

Great way to get acquainted with Budapest

Our guide was Atilla and he was able to get us ‘certified’ to ride the bikes in a few minutes. Atilla was great as he was able to give us a breakdown of the modern day Budapest with just enough historical context. He was never boring and has a good sense of humor. […] An amazing tour of Margaret Island where we were shown the 200 year old sycamore tree called the London Plane Tree, among other interesting things. We were also able to ride unhindered in this wonderful island. This tour is packed but well paced with great opportunities for pictures with great views, and Atilla was always ready to help us in capturing those memories. 10/10 for me.
