Everything was excellent during our tour of Vienna.
Everything was excellent with our guide Geza, who accompanied us and guided us excellently at all times; his great Spanish helped with smooth communication. Thank you for the music and the great conversations.

Wonderful first class tour from beginning to end.
Wonderful first class tour from beginning to end. We got to see so many iconic sites in comfort, stop at several and had a fabulous day. It was a treat for my birthday and the company could accommodate our request of a slightly later start time to assist. Our driver and guide, Attila, was very welcoming, professional and knowledgable. Our stop for a delicious lunch was great and I was even surprised with a firework candle on my dessert! Thank you for a lovely day. The company even agreed to refund for on non-traveller when notice was duly given. I highly recommend "Shuttles From Budapest" you will not be disappointed.

My tour guide had horrible English. She bad mouthed the United States for being the reason of the war in Ukraine. BS
Architecture if what I saw. I walked 6.9 miles and I’m in my 70’s. My tour guide the day before drove to each spot but I still walked a little over 4 miles which was fine. On this tour her English was horrible. Couldn’t understand her half the time or hear her. And belittling the U.S. in front of an American is not good. She said she worked at the casinos for over 39 years, send the low life back.

Excellent trip

Don’t waste your money.
Don’t waste your money! Corny jokes all day. Lunch was at Hungarian restaurant not a Viennese one. We asked to cut our trip short but he didn’t. We asked not to stop at the outlet mall but he stopped anyway to do some personal shopping. Actually all day he kept stopping at places to do personal shopping but was trying to hide it. Stay in Budapest and see more things. Go to Vienna on your own on another trip.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review We kindly ask you to check if you posted your review to the correct company as there are several providers in Hungary with a similar company name. We do provide excellent services for our guests. Thank you for checking. Regards Susanna

+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Budapest, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Budapest can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Budapest and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

When is the best time to visit Budapest?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
