    We liked Budapest more than Vienna. It has a buzz about it. The bus was comfortable and the audio commentary worked well. Even though it was very cold we enjoyed walking around and the Gluhwein was the best ever. The whole excursion was excellent and would certainly recommend it. Unfortunately we didn’t do the optional boat trip as we were knackered??

    Buses were old. Top part had a plastic sheet covering which was really low restricting the view. The commentary on the recording did not point out a lot of the historic buildings as we passed them concentrating on things we had already seen.

    The tour was pretty average sadly and fell well short of the bus tour we enjoyed in Vienna which was first class

    The green route was non existence or not running no explanation as to why. The commentary wasn’t very good. The map did not correlate to the bus stops and they were hard to find
