Ticketing experience with headout was very easy and appreciated. The overall combo (HOHO + Bath) was a decent deal and we enjoyed the experience. Only drawback was the time frame allowed for HOHO ending at 5pm each day, would have been great if it continued thru the evening to maximize all the sites.

We liked the fact that we could take the bus to the stop of our choice. Then we could get off to visit a site and get back on another bus, which was really appreciated. The cruise on the Danube is very nice. We had a really pleasant day thanks to your tourist bus.

The bus allows you to go from one tourist spot to another at any time. The explanations are very interesting. We took it for 48 hours. Very convenient. We could not enjoy the boat ride because the Danube was overflowing. The spa is very nice, with a decadent air. Like everything else, depending on the time and season it will be more or less crowded. Pools of different temperatures, some under repair. A pleasant and fun time outside. We spent 2 hours and it was more than enough. It is essential to bring swimsuit, flip flops and towel. Hat only for the swimming pool. The hammocks fill up quickly, although it is best to soak in them. I would repeat without hesitation!

Goes to all the popular tourist spots , buses were frequent enough but the commentary needs to coordinate better with the driving

The guide talked over the commentary at times and could not be understood. There were a number of mispronunciations in the English version, e.g. synagogue.
