We had a wonderful...

Lori_B, Aug 2025

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!

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

Brian_P, May 2019

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.
