5.00It was an amazing tour. Our guide Attila was provided information about the places but was very engaging with the group. Had lovely photo stops. The lunch was scrumptious and the place was absolutely stunning. Highly recommend if you want to spend a day and visit Danube bend. Ask for Attila as your guide and John as the driver. Thanks to both to make the tour memorable.
Great.

5.00A great excursion with our guide Attila who spoke French very well and explained a lot to us along the way, we learned a lot and it was very interesting. We were able to make several visits to the 3 different cities! The meal was really great even though we had a little apprehension, they welcomed us with brandy for those who wanted and everything was really delicious. We did a lot of tastings in the different shops in Szentendrei and in the free time we made a visit of fine paste creations (pinocchio, the 3 little pigs, mickey, and lots of others) cheap at all. We recommend this great excursion that is worth seeing the cities near budapest. The short tour in Slovakia is a great time too!
Beautiful experience in hungary

5.00Great trip, really enjoyed all of it. Krisztina was really knowledgeable and was able to tell us so much history of every where we went. It was great as someone who loves to understand different time periods and ways that other countries lived/live. The church was beautiful and got to spend a good amount of time there. Unlike other trips, nothing was pushed on his to buy things, which we enjoyed. Would recommend and 100% would do it again,
Exceeded Expectations

5.00The Danube Bend Day Trip has met and exceeded our expectations. From the hotel pickup, meeting our guide Raool, travelling in the relaxed comfort of the tour bus, listening to Raool's educational and well-presented information of Hungary, healthy 3-course meal to the last but not the least, return on the boat, everything is planned and executed seamlessly. Highly recommend.
A pleasant experience on the Danube

5.00Tour left promptly from downtown Budapest. Bus was very comfortable. The driver Sabi was very capable driving through narrow and curvy turns. Our guide Adam was very informative and kept us on schedule. The sights along the day trip were beautiful and well thought out! Lunch was fabulous and was in such a lovely spot. The boat ride back to Budapest from Szentendre was a great way to end the tour. Would highly recommend this tour. Well worth the price! Thank you!
