From Bratislava to Budapest day trip with cruise

See 2 other Capital Cities in 1 day!

I arrived in Vienna for a conference and upon realizing I had a day off, I booked this trip last minute. I was nervous since it was almost 11pm the night before the trip but within a couple of minutes I got a WhatsApp message from Dmitry confirming my hotel pickup time, which made me feel much better. He arrived very punctual the next day in a comfortable 5 passenger minivan. We then stopped at 2 hotels to pick up the remaining 4 passengers. The trip was excellent. I thought that seeing 2 capital cities in 1 day might feel a bit rushed but I felt Dmitry did a great job managing the time we spent there and it ended up being a perfect day trip. Budapest and Bratislava were gorgeous. I booked the cruise option which gave me great views to take pictures of Parliament and Buda Castle. Dmitry will tell you the history of the cities, show you the monuments and had little nice details waiting for us at many points throughout the trip. Would absolutely recommend for anyone wanting to see these two capital cities if you only have one day to do so. Just know that you won't be able to enter the palaces and museums, for that, you would need more than one day (or to pick just one city). For what I was looking for, it was perfect! I was picked up from my hotel at 7:40am and dropped off around 10:30pm. It is a long day but there was so much to see that it didn't feel that long. I took advantage of the time it takes to drive there to take a little nap, which helped.

Katy Till was our tour guide on this, our 8th tour of a 4 country trip. It doesn’t get any better than this. She was exceptional, the GOAT (Greatest Of All Tour guides). She was energetic, vivacious, passionate and adaptable, adjusting our tour to take us to places in Pest that were not part of the published itinerary. If you sign up for this tour and are lucky enough to get paired with Katy, you’re in for an unforgettable experience.

Communist Budapest Private Walking Tour

Historical Budapest walking tour

We were lucky enough to spend 3 hours with Peter in the cold and drizzling rain around Budapest and the time flew by. Peter´s encyclopedic knowledge of dates and historical figures was truly impressive and gave us a good idea of the history of Hungary and Budapest from the Middle Ages to the present day, with special attention given to the Communist period. For our teenage kids and I, this was the highlight of our trip and the 3 hours was well rounded off with a cup of hot chocolate and many thanks given to Peter.
