Ideal Day Trip to Budapest - White Alligator Tours provided everything I could have wanted for a day trip to Budapest. I had wanted to do a day trip to Budapest but wasn't sure I was up for the train ride and limitations that come with that so I started looking around and found them via Trip Advisor. I initially reached out via email; overall communication was great and I thank Kevin for his emails and quick responses. Exact pick up time was confirmed as expected and we had Roman as our driver and guide. We were lucky to have a small group, (four people), a nice and considerate group, and Roman was fantastic. He was kind, knowledgable, easy to relate to, well informed, and very helpful. The only question we failed to ask, and are still wondering about, is how did the company get its name?! Thank you again for a lovely day!

Great Day Trip to Budapest - We had a wonderful time seeing Budapest! Marcos was our guide and has a great sense of humor. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. We went to the main sights in Buda and then Pest, followed by free time. Each stop had a good amount of time and insight given to appreciate it more. We got lucky with the weather, making the day even more enjoyable. We ended with the Citadella view, bringing both Buda and Pest together in the same shot. That was a great idea to culminate the day! I highly recommend this tour.

Migraine and motion sick by the end of the tour - First off, let me say our tour guide, Zoltan, was very friendly and I genuinely enjoyed him and the information he shared while on this tour; however, that is where the positives end. We were picked up in an 8-seat minivan. That means 1 passenger seat next to the driver, 4 bucket seats in the middle of the van, and an uncomfortable rear bench seat. I was one of 2 unlucky people to have had the privilege of sitting in the rear bench seat that’s roof was low enough that with every bump, acceleration, and rapid deceleration (of which there were many) my head hit the roof. For reference I am an averaged size woman 5"7" tall. The car was full with 7 people but after reviewing the company's tour size again in the description I discovered they allow 8 people on the tour which means that if the tour would have been sold out there would have been 3 people in the cramped back row that had no air conditioning vents and was quite warm at the end of June. Just because there is "technically" enough seating to fit 8 people does not mean you should. The comfort of the guests should be taken into account on a tour of this duration not just the bottom line. I have been on tours in other cities where the tour vans were significantly larger and therefore much more enjoyable. The trip to Budapest is 2-3 hours there and 2-3 hours back. Plus we got caught in traffic on the return so the duration in the van was even longer. That is far too long in my opinion to be cramped in the rear of a too warm van with erratic acceleration and deceleration and your head hitting the ceiling. By the time we got back after a 12-13 hour day, I had a migraine and was motion sick. We had a second day trip scheduled with this company to visit Prague, but this tour was so uncomfortable and unenjoyable overall that we canceled and booked a wonderful tour with a private tour guide we also found on Viatour.
