This day trip was long & travelling lots of kms but very beautiful & well worth it. Our driver Peter was excellent. He is a really nice man, informative, polite & had a good laugh with us. We had 3 other people from 2 other countries with our family & it was a brilliant day. Great day, great memories & most enjoyable. The 2 cities are very beautiful
On a chilly breezy morning in Vienna, at the outside of tourist information center, we were waiting for the tour guide who didn’t show up on time (out of numerous day trips we have taken throughout Europe, this was the only one that the tour guide late for half hour), when asking about his whereabouts, the male tour director at the meeting point not only was unapologetic but also speaking with threatening tone and intimidating attitude, which was terribly rude and uncalled for. It was kind of spoil our trip to Budapest. The tour director should be working in a complete different industry. Hospitality doesn’t suit him. Other than the unpleasant experience with the tour director at the meeting point, Budapest is totally worth visiting but we suggest use a friendly tour company.
The trip was great. My mom and I had fun learning about Budapest and Bratislava. Peter did a great job explaining the history and guiding us. Hungarian food was great.
Good experience learning about the history of Budapest and Bratislava. A lot of historical information.
It was a complete waste of time and money. Very unreliable and very late informing changes. I will never trust anything from this company again.
Petar was an exceptional guide. He was able to make the day very informative and was incredible helpful with navigating. And he also takes great pictures.
<p>We did not go to Gyor even though it was advertised. Not happy</p>
