Fast Forward to Buda and the Best! - We picked up White Alligators for our 12 hour Budapest day trip in a small group of 6 guests. Roman, the chauffeur cum your guide arrived on time to pick us. Though we could get only the last row, his sensible driving made us feel ok with the journey. We had our short walking breaks (DIY) at the Castle district, The public Garden near memorial, and free time after the last point at Marriott Hotel. The city was rustic, beautiful and had its own character unlike many Capital cities.

Budapest in a day - I had a memorable experience exploring Budapest in a single day. Our tour guide (Roman) was very organised and offered valuable information throughout the journey. The long drive to and from Budapest (Approx. 2.5 hours) is worth it. I recommend bringing along your phone usb charging cable as the car has usb charging ports.

Incredible Tour - The trip and tour to Budapest was the highlight of our vacation thus far. Balazs, our tour guide, is Hungarian and was personable, very knowledgeable of the culture and area, and willing to answer all questions. I would definitely take this tour again.

Excellent! - Great experience ! This is a great excursion for anyone who wants to see a bit of Hungary but only has one day to visit. Zoltan was a great guide and we had a lovely little group with us. The van was new, clean, and made transportation from Vienna to Hungary very comfortably.

Easy day out - It was a leisurely trip out to Budapest with Zoltan in a comfortable Mercedes Benz 9-seater. As a Hungarian, he shared interesting local insights that gave us a better understanding of the city and culture. However, also typically Hungarian, his driving style felt very aggressive at times. The itinerary also included a lot of free time, perhaps a little too much - especially since both the Citadella and Ruszwurm (listed stops) were temporarily closed until further notice. Lunch time was about 1pm but there is a stop at a petrol station and McDonald’s for “breakfast” at 9am.
