Three Capitals

We had the BEST time on this trip. Our guide Simeon was so knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Our van had only 8 people total which made the trip feel so much more personal and special. We had ample time in Budapest to be guided around then explore on our own. Then in Bratislava we looked out onto the city at night and walked around a bit. The van was comfortable and there were plenty of opportunities to use the restroom/ grab a bite to eat. It’s not everyday you see 3 countries in one day, but we did and it was amazing! It was the perfect mix of feeling like we saw the cities and leaving us wanting to come back for more because it was so special and amazing. I did this day tour almost 3 months ago and I still reflect on how awesome it was. Highly highly recommend this trip!

I would definitely recommend this tour. Simeon was engaging and down to earth, and most of all funny. The man also knows like 4-5 languages which is also super impressive. I appreciate folks who know about hidden gems, and we started our tour at such a coffee spot in Budapest. I appreciated Simeon stressing the importance of a dialogue in the tour and asking us what we wanted to see or if we had questions. He also seemed to deeply care about the cities he was giving tours about, and teased enough about them leaving me wanting to return to Budapest and Bratislava. Logistically, he was a safe, efficient driver and on a personal note, I loved his 80's power ballad playlist for the car ride. 10/10 would recommend.

Had a wonderful tour around Budapest and Bratislava with Simeon on Birdie Tours. He showed us the highlights of the cities and gave us insights into what’s shaped both cities and their countries over the years, especially post WWII. He also showed us the best viewing spots and had great recommendations for dining during our free time

Simon of Birdie Tours added more wisdom in us hearing him explain the meaning of every shown place. Such impeccable knowledge shared in the most keen and precise way that it touches one's heart finding oneself as if one finds itself in the middle of the happenings. The architectural beauty of the surroundings of the three countries melted in the depth of its historical background creates a here-and-now feeling and arouses mixed emotion towards the future and the past of the people of each of these beautiful countries. Bratislava and Hungary, arise! Your future lies ahead with your people like what Simon is! This Wien-Bratislava-Budapest tour with Simon is one of its kind indeed! One has to experience this tour personally. I trust Birdie Tours will always be on the go, ever ready and capable of bringing one's tour a breath-taking and a very unforgettable experience worth sharing and inviting friends to participate. Birdie Tours. I lift my hat for you! Good luck, till our next tour. Thank you Simon!

Simeon is an excellent and knowledgeable guide! He is very passionate about the history and architecture of Bratislava and Budapest. His introduction to these lovely cities would make you love them even more. Perfect tour!

Simply the Best ! Simon is an excellent guide! We took the 3 capitals , Vienna, Budapest and Bratislava with him …. He was a wealth of knowledge about the history and culture of each country and answered all our questions . He was flexible, kind and considerate of our needs as there were some mobility issues for us . Also we had a lot of fun playing our favourite songs from the sixties and beyond!!! In Tina Turner’s words Simply the Best !!! Highly recommend !

I have traveled with this company several times, and they are an amazing team — always top-notch! I was lucky enough to know them personally and to witness how the company was created and grew. They are truly the best at what they do and have a great future ahead. I highly recommend them! You won’t regret it for a second! Definitely five stars.

So glad to join Simon’s tour to Budapest and Bratislava on my last day of the Vienna trip. Thanks to Simon for taking care of everyone and providing an unforgettable tour. He even surprised everyone by celebrating one of the participants’ birthday. Very grateful that Simon took me to the airport directly after we ended the tour in Vienna. Great trip and highly recommended.

Amazing experience!! Simon was an amazing guide and we have a nice day travelling with him. Learn a lot about Budapeste and Bratislava. Thank you Simon

Its definitely a 5 star service but because of the windy weather Im giving it 4 😅 Overall the experience was amazing, our guide was full of knowledge and had a charismatic & funny personality ✨️✨️ Despite my late booking, he kindly agreed to take me on the tour and I appreciated that a lot :) Next time when Im back whether alone or with friends I will def book a tour with you again, but this time a bit earlier 🫣 Thanks for this fantastic experience~!💫 Take care 😉

I booked the Three Capitals Tour through Simon’s website without any issues for my parents. They thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Simon is a well-informed tour guide with great knowledge of the history of the three capitals, and he conveys it very well. Thanks to him, my dad is now much more interested in EU history. 😁

(Translated by Google) The tour was wonderful. I joined my mother. The best part was the hotel pick-up. The only thing that was mentioned in the tour guide (water and light snacks weren't included). The tour lasted nearly 13 hours. Normally, we were supposed to visit Groy, but time was limited, especially during the winter months. Since we stayed overnight in Bratislava, the sun sets, so you can't see the entire city. However, our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He explained the entire history clearly and sincerely. We visited the places we visited together in Budapest, and then there was a 2.5-hour break. During this time, we could have mentioned only the best restaurants or spent more time together to chat. This was missing. We could have taken a souvenir photo together. Thank you. (Original) Tur cok güzeldi. Annem ile tura katıldım Otelden gelip alınması en guzel tarafı Yalniz tur içerisinde yazan ( su ve hafif atistirmaliklar yoktu) Tur 13 saate yakin sürüyor. Normalde Groy e de gidilmesi gerekiyordu ama zaman cok kısıtlı özellikle kış döneminde geceye kaldigimiz icin bratislavada gun karardigi icin şehri tam olarak göremiyorsun. Fakat rehberimiz oldukça bilgili ve guleryuzluydu. Tüm tarihi net ve samimi bir şekilde aktardı. Budapeste de beraber gezdiğimiz yerler ve sonrasinda 2.5 saatlik bir ara verildi bu kısımda sadece en iyi restaurantlar söylenebilir ya da beraber zaman da geçirilebilir daha cok sohbet etmek adına. Bu eksikti. Bir de hep beraber hatira fotografimiz olabilirdi. Tesekkurler

Got a good experience from this trip

Highly recommend, great and insightful trip. We have learned a lot about Budapest and Bratislava history and saw some amazing views. Highly recommend!

Excellent day trip for Vienna, Budapest and Bratislava .My Guest Enjoyed Lots and They are very Happy !!!! Will Book More Events from You !!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience on the Vienna, Budapest, and Bratislava tour with Birdie Tours! Simon, our guide, made the entire trip unforgettable with his deep knowledge, engaging storytelling, and truly caring attitude—he ensured everyone was comfortable and involved at every stop. Not only was the journey seamless and thoroughly enjoyable, but I was amazed to find that Birdie Tours is almost 70% cheaper than GetYourGuide for a similar itinerary, making it incredible value for money without compromising quality. I’m so impressed that I’ll be recommending Birdie Tours and Simon to all my colleagues at work—this is a must-do tour for anyone exploring Central Europe! Highly recommended!

I have a tight schedule day trip from Vienna to Budapest and Bratislava and back Vienna. Simon is a nice guide and likes to share his personal knowledge and view on history and local amenities.

Met Simeon and his team. Amazing, knowledgeable and very interesting guides. Definitely recommend and use again when back in central Europe

Thanks for being such a great guide to our group, Simeon! Was a very fun day!!

Tour start with on time pickup. Guide Simeon was exceptional, he shared alot of information and enjoyable conversation. Its a 3 capitals in a day and we have sufficient time at each stop. Simeon gave a lot of local info and recommendation. Driver Rasti take care of us with comfortable journey. Definitely recommended a tour with Simeon

Simon is a really nice person and this 3 capital in 1 day tour was amazing!

This tour was amazing and definitely worth the money. You get to see 3 amazing countries all in one day. Plan for the entire day. Simeon was a great tour guide. He picked us up on time from around 8am in the morning at our hotel and got us back around 10:00pm at night. He knew about all of the countries and gave us a lot of history while we drove. There is lots of opportunities to sightsee, eat, take pictures, walk around on your own, use the bathroom, and buy souvenirs. I would highly recommend this tour.

Wow!!! Excellent and a very knowledgeable Guide Simeon … Had vast experience and knowledge, knew the area very well and was truely updated with the historical relevance of each and every monuments / memorial/ restaurants.. Expeditions with him / his agency should definitely be explored .. Keep up the good work Simeon

We had a fabulous day out with Simon. He is very passionate and knowledgeable, we learnt so much about the history of Slovakia and Hungary. Nothing was too much trouble, very caring and knowledgeable operator. Barry Morris.

As a host, Simon is first class. Responsive. Funny. Very knowledgeable. Interesting. He cares about people’s time and experiences. The history and insight he imparts makes his tours a wonderful experience. He showed my group around Budapest and Bratislava and was an excellent guide. Highly recommend.

Simon provided an exceptional tour to Budapest and Bratislava. He tailored the itinerary to our interests, asked thoughtful questions in advance, and created a highly personalized experience. His knowledge of history and culture added real depth to the trip, and his professionalism and friendliness made the journey smooth and enjoyable. I would strongly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a high-quality private tour.

Simon was an outstanding tour guide - He was very professional, knowledgeable, pleasant, and welcoming. He provided the best tour of Budapest and Bratislava and 1000% would recommend.

Our tour with Simeon was truly excellent. He was kind, caring, and respectful, always attentive to the group’s needs. His commentary was insightful and engaging, and he gave us just the right amount of time to enjoy each stop. At the end, he even extended our visit so we could spend more time exploring the old town of Bratislava — something we greatly appreciated. Beyond the tour itself, he also gave us great recommendations for local restaurants and food, and he showed genuine interest in our plans for Vienna, sharing diverse suggestions from museums and landmarks to cozy cafés. He drove carefully and made sure we all felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey.

Excellent day trip to Budapest and Bratislava. Simon is cool and very knowledgeable. He even suggested excellent cafes and restaurants. We covered all the places included in the tour.

I had a wonderful time on this day trip. Our guide, Simeon, was fantastic—he picked me up early in the morning, had a cup of coffee ready for me, and even offered a piece of chocolate. Now that's great service! Simeon was also very knowledgeable about the history of the area, which I really appreciated. The trip was both fun and informative, and the weather was perfect. Simeon was attentive and made sure we were all comfortable. The people on the bus were friendly, which made the day even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this day trip.

What a perfect day touring with Simeon! From the moment you got pick up til the end of the day, you’d feel like you are travelling with a friend; a knowledgeable, enthusiastic, attentive, personable, and easy-going local friend. Simeon made sure to show us the best spots during the best times possible of the day. The tour was highly customizable and Simeon is very flexible and accommodating according our interests. Thanks again I had a superb tour in Slovakia and Budapest!

We had a fantastic day with Simon. We took a tour to Budapest and Bratislava from Vienna. In the morning, he called us to let us know he was running slightly late and that was absolutely fine. We started our day travelling to Budapest as it was the longest drive of the day. The journey was very pleasant and we had a small stop for a coffee and toilet. Then we proceeded to Budapest. Simon took us for a smoko (word for a small coffee break) at a very pleasant coffee shop and then we walked around the town. Simon is very knowledgeable and explained to us with so many details about history. But he was not only a tour guide, he is passionate about his heritage and about everything that happened in this beautiful part of the world. We had 2 hrs to eat and walk around there. Then we started the journey to Bratislava. We arrived there in the afternoon, just as the sun was setting. And what a beautiful site it was! Again, Simon took us around, always talking about the facts and history and how people live there. We had a walk around and then went back to Vienna. Simon was very professional, very friendly and very patient. I travelled with my elderly parents and we didn't feel we were rushed around. We enjoyed every minute of it and I would call Simon next time we are in the area. I highly recommend this tour.

(Translated by Google) A very good tour. Three major cities in one day. Fantastic! Thanks to our guide, Simon, who was very friendly and informative. (Original) Muy buen tour. Tres ciudades importantes en un día. Fantástico!! Gracias al guia Simón, muy simpático. Y con mucha información

It was a wonderful experience and Simone was very knowledgeable and courteous. Really enjoyed our journey to Budapest and Bratislava from Vienna.

A memorable tour thanks to Simon and our adoptive family for the day! The whistle stop tour from Vienna, Budapest and Slovakia is definitely a must if visiting this area. Simon was very knowledgeable and informative which enhanced our understanding and experience that we couldn’t have achieved on our own.

It was such a great experience! Honestly, I didn’t think it was possible to see three capitals in one day and still have enough time to enjoy them, but Birdie Tours made it work. Everything was well organized, the guide was super friendly, and the stories and places were amazing🥰 5 stars – I’d love to do it again!

I’d join you on every trip if I could — our trip was amazing ✨So many cool stories and such a great atmosphere, it made the whole experience special

I want to express my sincere gratitude for company Birdie tours and Simon’s exceptional tour guiding skills. His in- depth knowledge of both countries (Hungary & Slovakia) is truly fascinating, and his ability to bring history to life was inspiring. His kindness and patience made the entire experience even more enjoyable. We'll definitely remember this trip, thanks to your excellent leadership.

Amazing tour. Tour guide Simeon was very good, and knowledgeable.

I recently joined the Vienna-Budapest-Bratislava tour, and thanks to our guide it was made truly memorable. His in-depth historical knowledge was paired with a charismatic storytelling style that brought each destination vividly to life. He has a rare talent for explaining the cultural and historical differences between the cities in a way that is both smart and memorable. Beyond his expertise, he was consistently supportive, attentive, and genuinely committed to ensuring every guest felt comfortable and engaged. His charm and approachable manner created a warm group atmosphere, transforming a great itinerary into a remarkable experience. I can confidently recommend him to anyone seeking an unforgettable tour experience.
