“On arrival we were met in the tourist office by 3 of the most sullen girls I’ve ever come across. Not good as the first impression can make or break the whole day. A smile and pleasant manner go a long way. However, the tour was excellent as was Robert our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Hungarian history. The mini bus was comfortable and warm, which was great as it was a chilly day. Would recommend this activity when in Budapest. Just go straight on the bus though not via the tourist office.”

One of their operator says yes this can be done and asked for wait till couple of hrs.

Our tour guide, Dániel, was excellent. He knows a lot about the city and shared many interesting stories with us. He also took nice photos of us during the tour, which we really appreciated.

“when I booked this tour, I specifically asked if we were driving the car. GYG asked the operator and this was confirmed plus, we were asked to bring our drivers licence so the assumption of these facts confirmed that we would be driving. at no point were we asked if we wanted to drive, or if we had our licences. we were disappointed particularly as this was the reason we booked the tour. yes, we could have asked the driver/operator but due to the fact he didn't offer, we assumed it wasn't an option.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
