Review

“Very reliable and friendly organisatio” – Tripadvisor rating: 5/5

We booked for the first week in november a private Trabant tour and this was absolutely remarkable. The correspondation in advance was very kindly and personal though i had to change a few things after the booking and this was no problem at all. The Trabis arrived right on time and it was a real fun. We had a 3-hour-trip and we crossed almost the entire town, had a stop at some interesting sites and got a lot of nice information from the guides. There was a younger one who knew a lot about the history of Budapest and the other knew everything about the trabi’s. They don’t follow an every day route and if you have any suggestions they wil do this when possible. Do not expect comfort, but lot of fun and a very nice way to discover Budapest.
