    Starting point was too far from the dock with no clear guidance of how to get there or how long it would take. We were told it was a 20 minute walk, we allowed 30 minutes, it took 40 minutes so we missed the walking tour The audio description was behind the destination e.g. pulled up outside the synagogue and parked there for maybe 5 minutes then as the bus left the audio began telling us all about it. This happened at almost every building.

    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
