The staff kind and helpful in each station but I recommend the 48 hours trip if you're staying for longer because there's a lot of places to visit can't catch in same day

Bus wait times. Very good service. They ran very frequently. Given the distance between the different points of interest, it's worth taking.

The bus service was very punctual, and the tour was fascinating, with an excellent audio guide available in several languages. The river cruise took place at sunset and was a truly rewarding experience, as it allowed us to enjoy both sides of the city in comfort while taking in the excellent views.

Everything was as described. The bus hop on hop off experience, the walking tour within the city as well as the Danube cruise. They did not charge us more even if we got by the dock 6 at 5.30pm. I definitely recommend it as as way to get an overall view of the city main spots. You can afterwards explore further the city on your own focusing on what you liked more during the tour.

The tour and cruise was very worthwhile. We saw all the main attractions and had time to stop a few times and get more out of the day. The cruise was great giving a different perspective on the city. Staff were helpful at all times. I highly recommend this combo ticket.

We really enjoyed the tour; it helped us get a feel for the city and its history. The walking tour of the city center was especially fascinating. The guide, Claudia, was very witty and humorous. I would highly recommend you to my friends.
