My wife and I had a great day with Michaela leading the way. She was able to fit in a special request to stay in Bratislava longer than planned. The whole journey made getting from Vienna to Budapest a delightful experience. We especially enjoyed the local restaurant that we stopped at for lunch. Michaela was very knowledgeable about each of the stops and answered all of our question. Thank you very much. We will definitely book with Side Trip Tours again.
We originally booked this tour in February 2020 for April 2020. The company held our reservation until we were ready to use it this year. I really appreciated that about the company.

Another Great Sidetrip Experience
Another fantastic Sidetrip journey. Adam was our driver and he gave us an incredible experience. The convenience of being picked up in Vienna combined with the incredible experience of experiencing several destinations en route to Budapest cannot be overstated. This is a top notch company with incredible drivers. If you’re visiting the Golden Triangle of Prague-Vienna-Budapest, do yourself a favor and book Sidetrip.

Turning a travel day into a day trip is a great concept
I used Sidetrip twice during my two week vacation and they did a great job of turning boring travel days into day trips. We visited the exact same places I would have organized as a day trip on my own, and the guides were great drivers, great at organization and planning and communication. They were also effective walking tour guides. Levi in particular was amazing and I felt that he converted information about Hungarian culture well, and enriched my vacation.

Sidetrip was the perfect way for our family of 8 (ages 18-80) to travel from Vienna to Budapest (with a stop in Bratislava and other cities along the way). Our driver/guide Adam was wonderfully accommodating the entire day asking us what we wanted to do and see and creating a bespoke tour of small towns, castles and shopping. The day started with him picking us and our luggage up at our Airbnb with a van. The ride was very comfortable and Adam talked to us the entire way about the history and cultural highlights along the journey. He also toured with us on foot in the various places, recommending local food and shops as well as providing insight into the landmarks we visited. He dropped us off in front of our accommodation in Budapest and even sent us a list of his restaurant recommendations.I highly recommend Sidetrip and especially Adam as a tour guide. Was definitely a memorable experience!

Getting there was half the fun
A great tour to get from one city to the next! Our driver, Jakob was informative, personable and so polite. He happily shared his knowledge as he showed us around and always had lots of suggestions to suit our tastes.

Fabulous Day
We had a wonderful day with Alexandra. She was easy to talk to and taught us a lot about the history or Slovakia and Hungary. She had a great recommendation for a traditional Slovak restaurant in Bratislava which we invited her to dine with us because we enjoyed her company so much. We loved the 2 stops in Hungary as well. We absolutely will use this company again.

Excellent transfer from Vienna to Budapest
Martina was a wonderful guide, very cheerful and informative. She took care that our transfer from Vienna to Budapest was fun and we got to see many interesting places like Bratislava, Gyor, Esztergom basilica on the way. The whole transfer was very punctual and Martina recommend a lovely place for lunch on the way. I would give her and Sidetrip a 10/10. Highly recommended!

An unforgettable trip. Thank you Martina!
I wanted to make my mom's first trip to Europe a memorable one. I came across Sidetrip Tours when searching for transfer options between Vienna and Budapest and I am so glad I did!
After reading glowing reviews about Martina and her colleagues, my mom agreed that this was the tour she wanted to take. Upon booking, the Sidetrip Tours team was very responsive and accommodating to our requests leading up to the trip. The day before our tour, I received an email indicating our meeting location, time and our guide's details. To our surprise, we were matched with Martina!
From the moment Martina picked us up until we were dropped off, she ensured that we were comfortable and well informed about each location from history to art. We started our trip in Vienna and headed to Bratislava, Slovakia. The drive was filled with beautiful scenery and wonderful conversation. Upon our arrival, Martina took us around the town square and showed us a number of historical buildings stopping for pictures and a lovely café for coffee. Following this visit, we made our way north towards Budapest stopping in three quaint towns: Györ, Esztergom and Szentendre. Martina filled each of our stops with beautiful backdrops for photos, interesting facts and the historical significance of each town.
I highly recommend Sidetrip Tours and Martina for these one way trips. This one will be hard to beat! If we ever find ourselves in Europe again, we will definitely be including these tours in our plans. Thank you Martina and team!
