Overview

Join a fun and easy-going small-group road trip from Vienna to Budapest and discover places you'd never visit on your own, or on a regular transfer service. Along the way, stop in Bratislava, the lively capital of Slovakia, before heading into the Hungarian countryside to visit the magnificent Esztergom Basilica, a 19th-century architectural gem with views over the Danube River. Then, journey into the charming town of Szentendre, known for its cobbled streets, colorful buildings, and cozy art cafes. Led by local guides, this 10-hour adventure transforms a simple city transfer into an unforgettable day of culture, history, and scenery.

A great tour to get from one city to the next! Our driver, Jakob was informative, personable and so polite. He happily shared his knowledge as he showed us around and always had lots of suggestions to suit our tastes.

Excellent guide, highly recommend

Excellent guide. Really enjoyed levy's explanations and company. Sidetrips proved dependable and efficient. Well worth the money.

A Wonderful Trip

The trip was wonderful. Gabriela was an excellent guide, very warm, friendly, and personable. She was very accommodating of my physical limitations. She took us to several interesting places and shared a lot of information about life in Slovakia. We would love to travel with her again.

Great tour, but not a private transfer as advertised

Julia_C, Jun 2023

Definitely the best way to get from city to city as it gives you the chance to see things that are off the beaten path and really worthwhile! My only complaint is that upon booking I confirmed with the tour company that this was a private tour as advertised, and that they would be picking us up from and dropping us off at where we would be staying. A couple weeks before the trip they contradicted their previous statement and said that this would not in fact be the case, as we would be sharing a rather cramped van with 4 other travelers (making our group 7 people total) and the pickup/dropoff location would be different. It took a lot of back and forth to make sure we were dropped off at our destination in Budapest, and while they did give us a partial refund (which I appreciate), I wish the advertising and communication had been more up front about the fact that this is not in fact a private transfer and that pickup and drop off at your destination are not guaranteed. Had I known this in advance, I would have been able to enjoy the experience without the stressful back and forth of trying to negotiate what I thought I had already paid for. Regardless, the tour guide was lovely and I am glad to have done it.

Great way to learn the history of Hungary and transfer from Vienna to Budapest

There was a total of 7 of us. It would be perfect for 6 people. If you want to sit comfortably Tour was very informative and we learned a lot about what happen in Hungary. Really sad and interesting things.
