Wonderful Guide

5.00First of all, our guide, Jana, was a delightful, lovely, fun, caring and knowledgeable person! She listened to our stories and we learned about the Czech Republic, Slovakia and stopped at this delightful little farm that served literal farm-to-table food. Our two 19-year-old boys loved it as well - great place to get all of our wiggles out. Jana was also incredibly kind and very patient as we drove through some interesting construction areas outside of Budapest - I personally was impressed by her driving. ANYWAY, we would definitely book a Side Trip Tour again and request Jana. Also it's wonderful being picked up outside your lodgings and dropped off at your doorstep of your next lodgings. Thanks Side Trip Tour and thank you Jana!

5.00We just finished our side trip tour with Levi, and it was an excellent experience. He was very informative, considerate, and patient—especially since we were traveling with seniors who walk slowly. He drove safely and always made sure everyone was properly buckled up. We even managed to avoid traffic, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Overall, it was definitely worth the money
Relaxed easy travel with sightseeing

5.00An excellent way to travel across European countries in the comfort of a car. It was very relaxed as we didn't have to do any driving or navigating. It was also great to stop every couple of hours to stretch your legs and do a bit of sightseeing through a town, a stop for lunch or a tourist spot. I think they try and group you if they can with those that speak the same language. We were all English speakers and out driver & guide also spoke eccentricity English. I would highly recommend.
Best way to go from Prague to Budapest

5.00Jonathan was our driver and guide. This is one of the best concepts in traveling….When you need to travel one day from Prague to Budapest, might as well enjoy the sites. Jonathan was very personable and a great guide. He came early,, drove efficiently, provided lots of information during the day. The three sites were really worth stopping for. Would honestly do it again. Would look to this vendor for any other trips they have.

5.00This was a great way to break up a road trip and leave the driving to someone else. Stefan was a great guide and did an excellent job showing us the sites. Also helped us pick out a good lunch spot. If you’ve got to get between places this is a great option!

5.00Our guide Csenge was amazing for our side trip tour from Prague to Budapest. She had a great command of English and was able to show us beautiful places and explain the history associated with the town or palace and its import. She loved to engage in great conversation during the driving parts of the day (which was a big chunk of the journey). Shared a great place for lunch, and did all the above with a smile. The landscape was lovely..The vehicle was brand new and quiet on the road. Highly recommend side trip as way to get from place to another!
