Itinerary
We’ll have the opportunity to stroll through the breathtaking gardens of Lednice Palace, one of the most beautiful and renowned landscapes in Central Europe. As we explore this impressive UNESCO World Heritage Site, we’ll walk through elegantly landscaped gardens, charming ponds, and romantic pathways. Along the way, we’ll see highlights such as the Palm House, a historic greenhouse filled with exotic plants, and the ornamental Minaret, an unusual yet striking 60-meter-high tower offering panoramic views over the estate. The grounds also feature graceful bridges, sculptures, and hidden garden pavilions, adding to the fairy-tale atmosphere. Lednice offers a unique blend of history, nature, and architectural beauty, making it an unforgettable experience for visitors.
We’ll visit Bratislava Old Town that is famous for its medieval buildings, narrow streets, and little courtyards. You’ll learn about the history of the region as we wander around the city centre. We will also admire the beautiful castle of Bratislava that towers over the whole Old Town. The castle was rebuilt in the 20th century and reminds us of the importance of this city throughout history. In Bratislava you will also have time for a lunch break (not included).
Discover the charm of Győr’s Old Town, a picturesque blend of history, culture, and stunning architecture. As we stroll through its cobblestone streets, we’ll admire the city’s beautifully preserved Baroque buildings and the impressive Győr Town Hall, a magnificent landmark dating back to 1900. Győr is also known for its rich religious heritage, with numerous churches reflecting Hungary’s 1,000-year Christian history. As we explore the winding alleys and hidden courtyards, we’ll uncover stories of the city’s past—its role as a strategic stronghold, its vibrant merchant traditions, and the resilience of its people.

This trip was the best way to get from Prague to Budapest. The little quick stops along the way were perfect. It was nice to see a couple beautiful areas but still make it to Budapest in a timely manner. Martina was amazing! She spoke great English, gave us nice historical info, was very thoughtful and accommodating, and was a great driver. We will definitely use Sidetrips again in the future for a new route (and will hopefully get Martina again :))
Very nice drive Great guy beautiful views Comfortable car We had a great guide Smooth drive beautiful views just a great experience with nice stops beautifully historical places. We really enjoyed and highly recommended for somebody else to go on this trip.

We had an amazing experience with SideTour, made even better by our wonderful guide, Martina. She was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and thoughtful throughout the entire trip. Our tour included three different stops, and Martina impressed us with her deep knowledge of each location. She shared fascinating insights, local history, and interesting stories that really brought every destination to life. Her professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail made the experience both enjoyable and memorable. We felt well taken care of from start to finish. We highly recommend SideTour to anyone looking for a quality guided experience, and we will definitely book with them again in the future!
Great way to transfer and also experience other cities like Bratislava
Abdul was at our accomodation promptly on time. He explained all sites we went to which was Gyor, Bratislava and Lednice before getting to Prague. We were dropped of right in front of our new accomodation. Very easy and informative way to travel.
First of all, our guide, Jana, was a delightful, lovely, fun, caring and knowledgeable person! She listened to our stories and we learned about the Czech Republic, Slovakia and stopped at this delightful little farm that served literal farm-to-table food. Our two 19-year-old boys loved it as well - great place to get all of our wiggles out. Jana was also incredibly kind and very patient as we drove through some interesting construction areas outside of Budapest - I personally was impressed by her driving. ANYWAY, we would definitely book a Side Trip Tour again and request Jana. Also it's wonderful being picked up outside your lodgings and dropped off at your doorstep of your next lodgings. Thanks Side Trip Tour and thank you Jana!
We just finished our side trip tour with Levi, and it was an excellent experience. He was very informative, considerate, and patient—especially since we were traveling with seniors who walk slowly. He drove safely and always made sure everyone was properly buckled up. We even managed to avoid traffic, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Overall, it was definitely worth the money
