3 Countries, 1 Day, 2 Very Satisfied Customers - Following an accident the day before with our scheduled driver, the guys behind the scenes did their upmost to find a replacement so not to cancel. Our replacement, Filip, could not have been better! On what is a long and by the end tiring whistelstop tour of the 3 cities, he was knowledgeable, funny and conscientious. A dy we will not forget for a very long time! Thanks again for everything Filip, and the Palinka!

Fantastic day out. - Highly recommend this trip. Ahmed was a wonderful knowledgeable guide. He was polite and respectful while friendly towards everyone on the trip. He ensured everyone had plenty of time to explore at each stop after giving us information about the history of each place. Took the group to toilets at each stop close by.

Great experience! We love this tour! - The tour to Vienne and Bratislava was a wonderful experience. The guide called Ahmed from West Bank is a guide well educated, gentle. His driving skills were so good and he gave to us several times during the trip candies, choco, water, wc, etc. I strongly recommend this tour w/ Ahmed. The tour language is english but he speaks “some words” in other languages. Now I will the review in spanish…..el guia turistico llamado Ahmed fue muy cooperativo y muy educado en este tour de solo 8 personas, nos sentimos como si estuvieramos en familia, un muchacho muy considerado y cooperativo con las personas mayores que ibamos en el tour. Nos obsequio en varias ocasiones golosinas como chocolates, confituras, agua, un trago de palinka y vino. Mi esposa y yo recomendamos este tour con este guia….muchas gracias Ahmed !!!!

Great day trip to cover 2 cities - I will highly recommend this trip. It was an early start from Budapest. After pick ups, for me it was 3 groups including me, total 8 of us. The van was clean. First stop was the Belvedere museum in Vienna which has a lovely garden. Then, Vienna old town. After a few hours, we weee taken to the Bratislava Castle, then the old town. Before returning back to Budapest. And want to say thank you to friendly and approachable Ahmed for looking after us. Great explanation on history of each site. Thank you for the local snacks and drinks. Thank you for turning up on time.

This day trip showed us a... - This day trip showed us a brief preview of Slovakia (Bratislava) and Austria (Vienna). The only thing is the road trip is about 2.5 hours from Budapest but it was definitely worth the drive. Our driver Filip was friendly and he showed us the eastern European hospitality. Our family really enjoyed the trip. Highly recommend!

Absolute Scam Artists - Gave me a pickup time an hour earlier than advertised a mere 9 hours before the tour so I lost the option to cancel, then ignored myself and Viator upon asking for a refund because it was not as advertised. Was finally contacted at almost 11pm and they offered to change it by 10 minutes. Again, I declined and after several messages they said they’d pick me up at the advertised time and did not respond to further messages. In the morning I asked for an update and was ignored until the pick up time, when I was forced to show up since they wouldn’t agree to a refund even after an awful exchange. Finally the guide replied and said he was outside, which was a lie. I had been outside since 5 minutes prior to the time as requested and no one had been there. They basically thought they could avoid the refund if I didn’t show and opted not to pick me up as they demanded to. I immediately replied to the guide that I was there and asked where he was several times. He saw my first message and stopped opening them - I can only guess to try and claim that I no-showed. I had been on chat with Viator again the entire time and the host ignored multiple calls from them. Absolutely do not recommend this tour - awful scam artists.
