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!

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!!

We had an absolutely great time with Julianna on our half-day tour to the Etyek wine region, just outside Budapest. It was definitely one of the highlights of our entire trip and one of the best decisions! I highly debated booking this tour, as I wasn't sure what our day to day itinerary was going to look like in Budapest and didn't feel like we had enough time to commit to a full day trip, but definitely wanted to see something outside of the city. My family is very much into wine, and thought this would be a good topic! The tour was simply fantastic! Julianna drove us to Etyek while giving us a very thorough and interesting history/culture lesson on Budapest and Hungary, throughout the different centuries all linked to the wine production and legacy of the region. It helped solidify some of the history knowledge we've been picking up, while adding really interesting facts and cool twist! Once in Etyek, we got to visit, chat, learn and sample from family wine producers on a very intimate and unique setting! We visited Nádas wine workshop and Anonym winery. I've done wine tasting and tours before, but have never done anything quite like this... it felt very personal, unique and the winemakers were all so candid and open to share everything about their own personal story and wine production, we learned tons! we also tasted exquisite wines!! We usually gravitate towards reds, but the wines we tried (from this mainly white-wine region) basically made converts of all of us! :) We ended the evening at a small family run winery/restaurant, Debreczeni-Ferenczi winery, with a fantastic dinner and chat with a lovely local family, we simply had a blast. We left the tour full, wine-happy and with a new local friend! Julianna - we'll definitely be in touch whenever we are back in the area, thank you soooo much for a fantastic experience!!! One additional note - I didn't book this trip until fairly last minute, maybe 2 days before. During our trip, I realized how much coordination effort goes behind the scenes for them to set up the visits and dinner with the winemakers and for them to be able to align their schedule and planning, specially during the low season when they might not be running the tours that often. I felt bad about booking so last minute and really appreciated everyone's efforts to make it work, but would kindly suggest/ask that you consider this and try to book as early as possible.
