Meeting spot could be better marked. Bratislava photo spot is the bus depot. Enjoyed Budapest, guide was knowledgeable.
Terrible, disrespectful and very rude! Don’t even consider this
THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! The guide called me a liar!!! I booked this trip on the 5th of Dec and it was supposed to be on the 25th, so 20 days! And I was sent a message ONE day before the trip saying that having our passports was mandatory. I didnt see this message because i was already on my trip and not connected all the time. Thats not even the worst part. On the day of the trip, my friend and I walked to the meeting point which was around 10 mins away from our hotel, once we arrived we were told that we cant get on the trip without the passports, no IDs or passport copies would work. The staff was very rude and didnt even wait for us. I said that i could run back and get them within 15 mins tops and he didnt agree!!! Instead he argued for almost 7 mins that it was our mistake that we didnt see the message (also note that it wasnt written in the description). I said that i will give it a try and i ran back to get the passports but they went without us anyways. If the guide said from the begining that we had 15 mins and the bus should leave (instead of arguing) we wouldve went back gotten the passports and joined. My friend who waited and tried to stall them was told by the guide that we can get a refund (which we didnt). Also my friend suggested that we take the train and catch up with the group wherever they are. The guide said to her that it was fine, and this is what we tried to do but the guide refused for us to join the group. So not only he lied about us being able to get a refund but also refused for us to join. I took the train and went to budapest and tried to text them to join but the answers were very rude and disrespectful. Not only that, but also the guide gave me a call to tell me to stop texting and that he will he closing the ticket! And didnt provide any solutions. When i said that i am already in Budapest he said “NO UR NOT” so that him basically calling me a liar. I informed him that ill write the review and he didnt seem to care at all so heres it.
