Old battered VW van with driver that stank of old tobacco. Felt every bump in road and car rattled its way to our hotel

We had an incredible tour with Idilko and a private driver in a Mercedes van (he was not introduced by he was very competent!). My husband and I did the tour with my 80 year old parents and both staff were kind and patient and showed us the highlights of the city while keeping in mind to avoid long walks or lots of stairs.

This was an excellent boat trip on the River Danube lasting more or less one hour in which to see the amazing buildings and architecture on either side of the great River Danube through the heart of the city of Budapest. We had a good time.
