Hi, been checking out two tour companies.. Royal Tours and Vienna sightseeing tours. Anybody have experience with either ? We are looking for an escorted tour day trip to either Prague or Budapest , depending on day and availability. Many thanks...

I would take the train and see the cities on your own. Both are easy to navigate.
There is also a hydrofoil down the Danube from Vienna to Budapest, but I don't think its schedule is workable for a day trip. You can do a day trip to Bratislava, Slovakia down the Danube by hydrofoil as a day trip.

hydrofoil
The hydofoil is not nearly as interesting as you might expect and I would not consider it just as Carolianian indicated. The train is doable and so is the drive- as i recall it is about 2 1/2 hours. When i was there i took a tour from the timeshare in Budapest (Petnehazy). It allowed plenty of time to see the highlights.

Both Prague and Budapest are VERY nice, easily to navigate cities. And a lot cheaper than Vienna.
If you have only one day, you should choose between the two based on your interests:
Prague: Nice castle, beautiful old city square, some great photos, very nice Opera house (easy to get tickets), the Charles Bridge, earlier Effiel Tower, many Art Deco buildings, city of a thousand spirals
Budapest: Beautiful Opera house (has tour as tickets are hard to get), multi-mineral (thermal)spas, cafes (coffee houses), Terror Museum, Statue Park, Andressy Ut & Franz Litz Ter. Has onion domes.
See Rick Steves DVD on Budapest maded about 5 years ago. That is how the city looked then.
