The reviews speak volumes of the experience:
“Wonderful Private Transport from Budapest to Vienna - My friend and I went from Budapest to Vienna with Sidetrip Tours with a stop at Bratislava. However, we also made sidetrip tours to Szentendre, Esztergom and Gyor before stopping at Bratislava. I wanted to visit Gyor but didn’t think we had the time. Were we ecstatic! Didn’t know that was part of our itinerary! Didn’t know about Szentendre, but happy to discover this quaint artistic village. Lots of little shops for shopaholic like us! Our guide, Csenge, was amazing. She communicated with me thru WhatsApp day before to tell me what to expect. And she was on time the following morning! An excellent driver and tour guide! I recommend Sidetrip Tours to everyone!” (Reviewed on 2024-11-26)
