Summary: Our group had a wonderful time on this private trip to Budapest with Romano as the driver and Erica, our local tour guide. Both Romano and Erica were knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. We were picked up at our hotel in a luxury car (new Mercedes) and dropped off at our hotel at the end of the tour. We highly recommend Romano and Erica for anyone who wants to take a day trip to Budapest from Vienna! I would give them 10 stars if the system allows

Summary: Trip was a great overview of Budapest in a day. We hit highlights with a little bit of time to eat and explore on own. Our tour friend, Darko, shared experiences/stories, customs, cultural highlights, and restaurant suggestions about Vienna/Budapest as we chatted with him over the 2.5 hrs back and forth to Budapest. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Darko patiently answered our many questions especially from my Mom. He was a highlight and should be recognized as a real asset. He was so knowledgeable on so many topics and willing to share with us. We really enjoyed our time with him. Judit (Budapest tour guide) was great too. She was very knowledgeable and patient with us as it was a hot day and kids were a bit impatient. She gave the rt amount of detail for our crowd and we saw a variety of places in the 2 hr tour. It was nice introduction for a future trip. Highly recommend this trip!
