Nicholas was very kind and nice to us and showed us some great food. If the amount of food and drink was worth 55 euro a person was our only doubt. But good recommendation if you want to get your bearings in the city and try new foods. (good tour if you are on day 1 of your trip).

The guide was very friendly and answered all of the tour's questions. She was very knowledgeable about Bratislava's history and recommended some traditional food as well as a few local cafes and restaurants (we followed her guide and we loved the food, of course). The driver was also outgoing and seemed interested in Malta's culture, cuisine and lifestyle. We also had a change to stop by the palace on the other side of the road to see the beauty of Bratislava from a panoramic vantage point. I recommend spending 20-25 minutes here to take some photos. Overall I highly recommend this day trip if you have a free day in Vienna. You will probably feel quite tired after the excursion, so you can ask the driver to drop you by Stadpark for a superb end to your day. FYI: The driver will pick you up at your accomodation and will drop you off wherever you want in Vienna (which is a bonus). Thank you to the organizers and all of the staff involved!

If you're in Budapest for any amount of time, this photography tour should be at the top of your to-do list. Gábor is an amazing photographer. He conducted the session with only one day's notice and in the cold weather. I got some phenomenal shots at the best locations in the city and great memories to take with me. I highly recommend this tour! If you are thinking about booking it, just do it. It's worth every penny.

We spent a week in Budapest and began in the best way possible-- with 3 days of guided tours by the wonderful women of Budapest Locals! Anita took excellent care of our needs while we were still in the U.S. She helped us to set up our tours and times in the most kind and efficient manner. Once we arrived in Budapest, we spent our time with Barbi and Kinga. We ate, we learned, we laughed and we came away with a great appreciation of Hungary and its history and a love for the kind Hungarians who introduced us to their beautiful city. I highly recommend a tour, short or long, with Budapest Locals whenever you come to Budapest!

The historical Pest tour guided by Adam was an impressive journey through Hungarian history and the development of Buda and Pest into one city Budapest. Because Adam lives and studied in Budapest he has enormous knowledge and is excellent at explaining historical, cultural and social developments. Adam also tells the legends around Budapest in a very entertaining way and he had an answer to all our questions. I can really recommend the Pest Tour with Adam, he is a perfect guide!

We never got to take the day trip to Austria tour we prepaid for last summer due to the pandemic. Sure it would’ve been nice. I was, however, frustrated about the refund policy! Not only was the company a stickler about not giving us a full refund (though it was not our choice to cancel), they would only issue the refund through Pay Pal which charged us an additional international fee! What a rip off! Very disappointed at their overall lack of flexibility. Consumer beware!!
