Awesome experience and a great way to see Bratislava while traveling to Budapest. Susan was an excellent guide: knowledgeable, passionate about history, and gave us a perfect overview of Bratislava before allowing us our own time to wander and eat lunch. Would highly recommend this trip as a great way to make the most out of a travel day. It’s all door to door too, which is convenient and makes going from point to point stress-free.

Traveling in Europe—no more trains

Robert_C, Jul 2026

Attila was amazing! He was friendly, knowledgeable, considerate, and so much more. Why would anyone travel between European cities any other way when there are drivers like Attila who make these trips so simple and enjoyable.

We had a wonderful day...

Allison_M, Mar 2026

We had a wonderful day with Atilla as our guide. He gave us great information about Vienna as we left. The Bratislava tour is just about an hour and it was very interesting. We asked him to add the Blue Church. He gave us recommendations for dinner and a boat cruise. Highly recommend!

Vienna to Bratislava

Robbie_M, Dec 2025

This is the best trip !l The tour guide Atilla was perhaps the best tour guide we have ever had with Viator and honestly they have all been amazing. He was reliable, Knowledgeable and made the Bratislava city center so interesting and fun. Honestly I thought the tour would be meh but it was a blast !

Excellent way to make the most of a travel day

Really easy and lovely...

Nisha_R, Feb 2025

Really easy and lovely way to get from Vienna to Budapest AND see Bratislava on the way! Our driver/tour guide was so sweet and knowledgable - he made the whole day really enjoyable rather than "just a transfer". Would highly recommend!

Nice way to get to Budapest, but no need to make a stop in Bratislava..

Marsha_M, Oct 2024

Our guide was a delight to be with and made our trip to Budapest very enjoyable. We were not impressed with Bratislava, so our guide was kind enough to show us some sights when we arrived in Budapest.

Great tour and transportation between cities !

Lisa_S, Apr 2024

From the moment we were picked up from our hotel in Vienna we were looked after really well ! They were waiting outside the front of the hotel as arranged and were taken to Bratislava by Susan. Susan was amazing, a very knowledgeable person and such a lovely lady. She took us around Bratislava and explained everything and then drove us onto Budapest. It was a lovely way to see a third city and we really learnt so much enroute with Susan and we could see how passionate she was about all aspects of her country. Susan then drove us onto our hotel in Budapest ! We would recommend anyone thinking of transferring between cities to use the travelling day to stop over somewhere and have a tour guide.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Lisa, Thank you for taking your time to leave your positive feedback and for your nice comment. We are delighted to read that Susan was able to show you the most interesting sights of the cities and you enjoyed the day with her. It would be our pleasure to welcome you back in the future. Kind regards, Susanna

Great experience & value

Geechee62, Dec 2023

This is a great way to transfer between Vienna and Budapest and see Bratislava on the way. Susan picked us up from our apartment right on time. During the drive she shared a lot of the history of Bratislava as well as current events. After our tour she safely delivered us to our Budapest apartment. Susan was an excellent guide.

Lovely stop on our journey to Budapest

vincent_r, Nov 2023

Great learning about the country’s history and the unique town. Since it was near Christmas time the festive atmosphere was wonderful.

Pleasant worry-free transfer from Vienna to Budapest

Karrie_S, Nov 2023

We were picked up from our hotel on time & enjoyed a comfortable ride from Vienna to our hotel in Budapest. Our stop in Bratislava was a welcomed addition. Our guide Susan was extremely knowledgeable & passionate about the history of Bratislava. She was also accommodating to my walking restrictions due to my bum knee.

Great

Simeon_w, Aug 2023

Outstanding tour and transit with Thomas!

Cynthia_T, Jun 2023

My husband and I along with our 19 year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed the tour of Bratislava and transit from Vienna to Budapest with our wonderful guide, Thomas. Thomas was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and eager to share as much as possible with us. He even included a tour of the castle In Bratislava which was not part of the plan. He spent almost 2 extra hours with us. We felt very fortunate to have Thomas as our guide and also appreciated his expert driving skills!

More than a tour guide and private driver.

Lan, May 2023

On time, excellent service, friendly, and very knowledgeable with central EU and eastern EU. Highly recommended.

Excellent transit and superb tour

Henry_B, May 2023

This private transfer from Vienna to Budapest was great follow up to our stay. The addition of a great guided tour in Bratislava was nice treat. Our driver and tour guide Stephen was prompt and timely from the start. He was well versed about the region and provided excellent information and history. Overall a great trip in 5 hours including the tour of Slovakia. Definitely worth it to add another country to your list of places.

Great transfer

momqtpie, Jun 2019
