Day trip to Budapest - It's a wonderful full day trip. Our driver stopped so we could get food for the road. Our city guide was very knowledgeable. Note that while Hunary is part of the European Union it's currency is not the Euro.

Awesome trip to Budapest - Our group had a wonderful time on this private trip to Budapest with Romano as the driver and Erica, our local tour guide. Both Romano and Erica were knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. We were picked up at our hotel in a luxury car (new Mercedes) and dropped off at our hotel at the end of the tour.
We highly recommend Romano and Erica for anyone who wants to take a day trip to Budapest from Vienna!
I would give them 10 stars if the system allows

Day Trip to Budapest with Darko and Judit - Trip was a great overview of Budapest in a day. We hit highlights with a little bit of time to eat and explore on own.
Our tour friend, Darko, shared experiences/stories, customs, cultural highlights, and restaurant suggestions about Vienna/Budapest as we chatted with him over the 2.5 hrs back and forth to Budapest. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Darko patiently answered our many questions especially from my Mom. He was a highlight and should be recognized as a real asset. He was so knowledgeable on so many topics and willing to share with us. We really enjoyed our time with him.
Judit (Budapest tour guide) was great too. She was very knowledgeable and patient with us as it was a hot day and kids were a bit impatient. She gave the rt amount of detail for our crowd and we saw a variety of places in the 2 hr tour. It was nice introduction for a future trip.
Highly recommend this trip!

Excellent Trip - Our driver Romano picked us up promptly from our location. We had a pleasant and comfortable drive to Budapest. We were dropped off right with our private walking tour guide. The tour was wonderful and we learned a lot.
Romano was easy to contact through iMessages and responsive to where we were and what we needed. After the tour we were driven to two more sites on the other side of the river. They had great views of the city.
So glad I booked this tour and would recommend it.

Budapest Private Day Tour - Darko was our driver for this tour. He was punctual and accommodating. Darko was very knowledgeable about a lot of cities and gave me some useful tips & suggestions. During the tour at Budapest, we wanted to enjoy the coffee & lunch at the famous New York Cafe. Darko arranged with the tour guide to take us there and pick us up from such a busy district. We enjoyed the ride and my kids had a great time during the whole tour.

Quick taste of Budapest - Our driver Pedja picked us up from our hotel in Vienna at 7:30am - he was terrific. On the drive to Budapest he told us about Vienna and other places in Austria. Then when we arrived in Budapest we were met by a guide and had a very nice walking tour of Pest. The only reason I give this 4/5 stars is that I would have liked more free time in Budapest. I feel that 2 hours we had were definitely not enough to discover this beautiful city - we would have liked a chance to explore both Pest and Buda sides more. We spent about 6 hours in total in the car - back to Vienna by 6:30pm.

Great tour of Budapest - Our family just got back from our trip and we really enjoyed this tour. Our tour driver Darko was one of the highlights. Really informative and entertaining. He provided loads of information on life in Vienna and the region. Our tour guide in Budapest was also really great. She provided a great history lesson of the significance of the statues and buildings in the main part of Pest.
