Martin was a great guide and made sure we had a great day! We learned a lot about both cities and had time to explore them ourselves, highly recommend!
We wanted to see other cities while in Budapest and this activity provided the best opportunity. Bio, our driver was wonderful. Picked us right on time. It was a small group, only eight of us, which allow for a more one on one experience. Bio was full of great information, did cities tours at each stop, then allowed plenty of time for us to explore on our own, tour, shop and grab a bit to eat. It was long but wonderful day. Would highly recommend as a way to explore Vienna and Bratislava (our favorite).
Our driver was very friendly and picked us up at our hotel. Snacks/ water were provided throughout the trip with a fun surprise at the end. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took us to some beautiful places still allowing for free time giving his recommendations on what to eat and where to go. The transport van itself was lovely and had amazing air con on the european heat wave we experienced.
Out guide Timko was the best! He made sure we were all taken care of of and got us safetly to each destination. Vienna was gorgeous and we had time to explore on our own after Timko showed us a few stops. Bratislava was another beautiful city. We had some rain storms to deal with but made it through. Stopped for a great view and a traditional Slovakia toast! Had an amazing day!
Such a disappointment. The driver never showed up. I was getting reminder messages from Viator about this trip and then the local operator never showed. I contacted Viator who tried to contact the local operator to no avail. Now I have to wait to see if I get refunded?!. Like what the actual hell. I bought in Good faith and now there may be a question of a refund? I’m not sure. I have purchased from Viator many times in many countries without a problem. I purchased this tour weeks ago. This is unacceptable. Be wary.
Fabulous driver/ guide Ahmed. Great value for money. Highly recommend.
What a great day. Lots to see and a very relaxed itinerary with plenty free time in each destination to do what you want, rather than following a guide everywhere. Will really suit an independent traveller. Our guide Ahmed was a delightful host. Funny, friendly and informative. I really enjoyed the day in his company.
The day was long - 14+hours! It was nice to see the old towns of Vienna and Bratislava. I recommend it, just be prepared for a long day!
The tour was great! Ahmed was a great guide and pick up was easy.
Spectacular Tour Guide highly - spoiled us from mimos, from water, candy and biscuits☺️ Very punctual
