“This tour was a waste of time and money. I was in the back of the van and so I couldn't hear a word he was saying the whole time. Even when we got out to see things we would race off a head of people and if you couldn't keep up you never knew what he had described because he wouldn't wait until everyone got together. This was not organized very well. We stopped and was told if we needed to use the restrooms it was a walk in the other direction. What we weren't told was the restrooms only took Euros not Hungarian money. This should have been…”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Kristina and Peter. Couldnt have asked for a better guide and driver. Lots of interesting information and general historical knowledge...asked a load of questions and Kristina was great, answered them all and shared our interests with the other couple and vice versa. Had a really good laugh too. The food was delicious especially the soup...could have quite happily just eaten that for my lunch it was so tasty. Couldn't complain about a thing...even the delay in the show starting wasn't an issue was we got to explore the other farm animals and see the horses before the show. Faultless! Thank you for a wonderful…”

The tour of the Hapsburg summer palace was well done and followed by a delicious Wiener schnitzel lunch at a local diner (tasty Austrian beer included). We then continued to the downtown area for a 2 hour tour on foot of the exterior of parliament buildings, Hapsburg winter palace and ancient churches. The area also has many high end shops if you are interested in shopping. Our guide Attila is very good driver handling the highways and downtown areas equally well.

“This tour was one of the best tours to see Budapest. Fanni, our tour guide was exceptional in all ways. Extremely knowledge and well educated about the city’s history. This was an all day walking tour which took us to both sides of the river covering all the important neighborhoods, monuments and castles.
