Vienna: Budapest & Bratislava Two Capitals Day Trip

Budapest Tour

The experience from an organizational standpoint was terrible. The tour started at 8 AM with a pickup at 6:40 AM from the hotel heading to Budapest... instead, we headed to Vienna to pick up other passengers, thus arriving in Budapest at 1:45 PM, spending 7 hours in the car when we were supposed to cover only 200 km according to the schedule. The wine tasting that was in the program did not take place. A positive note is the driver Paolo, who was very nice and helpful with us.

Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear that you appreciated our driver-guide and his assistance. We are sorry that the journey took longer than expected. Unfortunately, delays can sometimes occur due to traffic conditions, particularly with the ongoing road reconstruction between Vienna and Budapest. Regarding the wine tasting, we are sorry for any misunderstanding, as it is not included in the current tour description. We appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoyed your time in Budapest and Bratislava.

Def worth it under better conditions!

Driver and guide great. Long trip but informative. Did what it had to do! Guide added a fair amount of history which was great! Lunch in Budapest was mixed. Guide took us to a restaurant far from bus stop and the manager made us sit together even though we were not friends and each were responsible for bill. It was uncomfortable and for some a big problem. Better to give a free hour on your own - like in Bratislava! Group was small . Good. But van way too small , uncomfortable, seats too tight, seatbelts did not give so they were tight. Overall, van experience was claustrophobic ! However, a plus: air conditioning very good!

Great Day in Budapest & Bratislava

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

Budapest and Bratislava day trip

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.

Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We sincerely apologize for the guide’s late arrival and understand how frustrating it must have been to wait on a chilly morning, especially at the beginning of a full-day trip. This is certainly not the start to the experience we want our guests to have. We are also sorry that your interaction at the meeting point left you with such a negative impression. Our staff always strives to assist guests in a professional, respectful, and friendly manner while keeping the check-in process organized and efficient. Despite this unfortunate start, we are glad that you were able to enjoy the trip to Budapest and Bratislava and found the destination worthwhile. We truly appreciate your feedback and will review your comments internally to help us improve the experience for our guests. Thank you again for choosing to travel with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much smoother experience in the future.

Great Tour. I would do this again.

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.
