Irresponsible and negligent tour guide.

Mara_P, Dec 2025

Our tour guide got us trouble by not explaining how to pay for public transportation he took us on and we were fined a good sum of money. He took no responsibility and stood there with his hands in his pockets while we berated in a language we did not understand. Then to add insult to injury, Viator also took no responsibility when we reported it to them. We did not ask for a tour refund (which we should have done), we simply asked to be reimbursed the fine. We were denied. The incident was not our fault, the tour guide was negligent, and Viator has now lost our business.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Dear Mara, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that this situation caused you distress during your visit to Budapest, and we fully understand how upsetting such an experience can be, especially when traveling abroad. Please allow us to clarify that public transportation rules, ticket validation, and fines are administered solely by the local transport authority and remain the individual responsibility of passengers. Our guides are not authorized to collect fares, validate tickets, or intervene in enforcement procedures carried out by inspectors. That said, we sincerely regret that the situation was not clearer at the time and that you felt unsupported. We take all feedback seriously and have shared your comments internally to help improve communication and guidance during future tours. We truly regret that this incident affected your overall impression and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Kind regards, The Rosotravel Team

Highly recommend! Huge Viator fan!!!

Evelina was so pleasant & very knowledgeable. Such a pleasure learning & respecting Hungary & its history. Wish we could have spent more time, would highly recommend and my pictures do not serve justice.
