We had a wonderful... - We had a wonderful experience with White Alligator tours. Peter was our driver and tour guide for our one day tour of Budapest from Vienna. Peter was very courteous and knowledgeable. He made us feel comfortable right away and did not rush us when he came to pick us up. The drive was very comfortable in an air conditioned, Mercedes minivan. There was bottled water available too. Peter spoke very clearly and used a microphone in the car throughout the journey. He took us around to see the main sights of the city. We had plenty of time to sightsee and walk around on our own as well. Peter made sure to drop us off in convenient locations to minimize walking. We really enjoyed Budapest, it is a beautiful city. Thanks for a memorable and informative trip!

Budapest – Private Day Tour - Highly recommend White Alligator Tours. While visiting Vienna we wanted to take a private day trip to Budapest. I booked the tour several months in advance. Our questions were answered timely about an itinerary and booking the tour was easy online.
Balazs met us at our hotel on the day of the tour before the appointed time. We enjoyed a pleasant ride to Budapest, approximately 2.5 hours with a stop along the way to grab coffee. Balazs grew up in Hungary and now lives in Vienna. His insight into the local area kept conversation interesting and lively throughout the day.
We visited Gellert Hill; Castle District; St. Stephen’s Basilica, Heroes’ Square; and Central Market. As we drove thru the City Balazs pointed out many landmarks with a quick visit to the Soviet Heroic Memorial, which is flanked by the Ronald Regan statue.
Our return trip to Vienna was just as pleasant and we arrived back at the prescribed time. Thank you for a wonderful day.

Must do! Great Private Tour!! - This was a great tour! Our guide Balazs was very friendly and kind. He personally picked us up and dropped us off in-front of our hotel :)
The trip was very smooth, driving was great and safe! Balazs knew a lot of the history around Budapest and Vienna, answering any questions we had with ease :) they also included water bottles for us to use which was helpful on the long drives to and from :)
I enjoyed all the sight seeing and markets in the area! 10/10 recommend :)

Wondering trip - Balaze is our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable, friendly, caring and considerate. He giving us the background history of Hungry and Vienna when on the road toward Budapest. Highlighted to us what to see. Also we have free time to walk around by ourselves. My friend and her mom are the first visit to Budapest in our Europe trip. Because of Balaze his introduction of Budapest, they all like Budapest in our this Europe trip. Highly recommend to take one day trip to Budapest.

Budapest and this tour were awesome - This tour was fantastic. The driver / guide was the best. Young guy (first name was Balazs) with a cool "man bun" that spoke very clear English and was just great. He could not have been better. Spoke to us about the region and Budapest most of the way there (about a 2 hour drive each way) but allowed us to rest/nap on the way home. Once in Budapest, we drove/walked around and saw the most important sites and again, our guide was great and very informative. Budapest is awesome, very pretty, very safe and the people were great. I would do this tour again for sure.

Great little day trip to Budapest from Vienna - I had booked a day trip to Budapest from Vienna through White Alligator tours (Balazs). Turned out that on the day it was just the two of us (my wife and I). So in a way, it made for a private tour.
Balazs picked us up from our hotel and was very courteous. His English was really good and he was very knowledgeable of the local history. He gave us a great deal of history on our drive to Budapest and he was very easy to talk to as well.
Once we got to Budapest we went ahead and did all that was specified in the website. For us, this seemed just the perfect amount of time in each of the locations and we had a great overview of the city. This was exactly what we had wanted and we got it thanks to Balazs.
Overall, very impressed by the professionalism and knowledge of these guys and would definitely recommend them.
