Our journey started out on time but became a bit delayed due to holiday travelers headed east. Traffic was epic! However, our driver Andrea was cold, cool, and amazing. He pushed through so that we could enjoy our full tour in Budapest. Gabor our local guide was very knowledgeable and also adjusted his day to accommodate us. A plus was that we got to see Budapest at night. The city is beautifully lit up for the holidays and we had an amazing time. Well worth the trip.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that despite the holiday traffic, Andrea and Gabor made sure your day in Budapest was still a great experience. It’s great that Andrea’s professionalism and determination, along with Gabor’s flexibility and knowledge, allowed you to enjoy the city fully — especially the beautiful evening lights during the holiday season. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again on another tour soon!
Our driver picked up my family of four on time at our hotel. He was a quiet young fellow, and was nice and professional. He drove us for nearly 3 hrs to Budapest, where we met our guide, Gabor. We stayed in the van for part of the tour, and walked around for part of the tour, with Gabor there to show us the sites. He did a fine job, and was friendly. After our tour, we had time to eat a good meal at a local restaurant, see some sites on our on, and do some shopping. Then we met our driver, who took us on the return journey to our hotel in Vienna. Overall, a great experience. My only regret is not having more time (like days) to spend in Budapest, but that's not how we scheduled this vacation. On these types of tours, you are of course limited by time, and only get an overview of the city. If we had days, we could take this tour and then decide from there what we wanted to spend more time doing. That is no criticism of this tour, but just something to think about if you really want to go deeper in your experience of a destination. This tour was exactly what we expected, based on the description, and both our driver and our guide were good. We really liked being picked up and dropped off at our hotel, instead of having to navigate to some location. Would recommend.
Our tour with Peter was great!! Peter had a lot of local knowledge. Sofia our tour guide was also wonderful!! She knew so much about Budapest and the region. She taught us some words and phrases. Great time.
Driver was very friendly and our tour guide was funny and very good at explaining the history of the beautiful city! We had a wonderful time and highly recommend!
Last minute booking for the next morning and called to confirm. The driver (nice guy) picked us up on time at 8am. Drove us to Budapest in silence. I had to ask about the tour of which he knew nothing about. Didn’t know if there was a guide waiting for us. We said typically that’s how it works but we just said we’d go to Christmas markets. 3hr later I get a call asking to meet us for the tour. If which I said no thanks we’re making best of our time. Then get email from manager saying we refused and don’t try to ask for refund as I won’t get it. It was very rude set of emails back and forth. I never asked for refund and we had driver take us to another town on the way back since we had time remaining. Over all 2 stars because driver wasn’t given information on tour but was still nice. Otherwise I would have given zero stars based on the email thread with rude tour company blaming me for refusing the guide and lack of any responsibility for driver not knowing this was tour or having a guide call us almost 3 hours into the arrival to offer a tour. Very un professioanl and rude.
We are very sorry for your experience, but it is not true. The only true thing was that its the high season and you booked the tour very late in the evening and even at this time we confirmed the tour. We gave you the driver that usually does tours to other towns and forgot to contact the local guide in Budapest and in the meantime you left for Christmas markets. The guide in Budapest called you at 1.00pm when he usually has the tour with clients/ sometimes clients prefer to have lunch first, have free time etc/ you told him that you were at the Christmas markets and are not interested in the tour, that you are completely fine with just your own city tour. We then sent you an email trying to confirm whether its true and the guide can have free time even was ready to give you the tour. You than probably changed your mind and started complaining about not receiving the tour and trying to get a refund which we refused. We also offered you a tour later in the afternoon and even a late departure from Budapest, but you refused all this, instead you asked our driver to take you for Christmas markets to Slovak capital- Bratislava, so we hope that at least this extra tour you liked and we gave it to you for free.
