  Extremely satisfying. We found Susan quite informative and she helped us with lots of local information. The lunch was superb and we had a great locally flavoured food. Susan was quite patient and answered all our queries without any hesitation.

• A superb customized day

  Susan is incredibly knowledgeable and went down any paths we wanted to pursue as we learned more about places and history. Her flexiblity and friendliness made the tour feel truly personlized.

  Zsofia (Sophia). Was a high energy positive personality and gave a great tour up through the Danube bend. We spent the majority of time driving in her car to various places starting with Pest and then moving over to Budapest. She offered a detailed explanation at each site and gave us Hungarian lessons along the way. We stopped and walked at several locations including Visagrad (and the castle), to Esztergom and the stunning basilica, I to Slovakia, to the lovely village of Szentendrei You can tell she had done this for decades as she has a mental script of everything and continues to talk all through driving in the all the way up the country side. The drive up is pleasant but it is a tad longer trip than some people would want. As an American, the long history of the Hungarians and all the occupations such as the Romans, the Ottoman Turks, the Hapsburg dynasty, Austria Hungarian empire, the Nazis, the Soviets, the long period of communism and then the transition to capitalism is fascinating!! Zsofia is a true Hungarian and loves to talk about her country. It is probably not for everyone as, like I stated she is high energy and forward, which would probably not work for some subdued, less adventurous Americans, but it worked for us!! The only negative would be the length of the trip (Hungarian traffic is quite unpredictable) as you may only have a few day budget and it might take away from some activities/sites in Budapest.

• Great trip

  Excellent opportunity to view areas outside of Budapest. Susan was a great guide providing all sorts of historical background on these three sites as well as safely driving and guiding us.

  Susan was by far the most knowledgeable travel guide we ever experienced. She is a walking encyclopedia for all historical events not just our tour related. It was a very worthwhile experience showing the Danube bend towns/attractions along with key attractions in Budapest. Very enriching experience.

  Seeing the countryside was a wonderful contrast to the Budapest city tour. The cathedral, castle, and quaint towns were a refreshing change. Nora was an exceptional tour guide. We highly recommend this tour!

• Countryside of Budapest!

  The tour takes you out of the city, and brings you to key historical sites, with amazing views, and really great shopping experiences. My guide Sophia, was infinitely knowledgeable, and extremely passionate about the region. I wouldn’t miss out if you’re looking into this…

  The tour allowed us to see the Hungarian country side. Steve our driver, was very knowledgeable and showed us so many sites along with the ones included in the tour. Lunch was amazing. It was a wonderful way to end our trip.

  My wife and I recently completed a day trip of the Danube Bend via ShuttlesFromBudapest.com, and our hats are off to owner, Zsuzsanna Vizvári, for the patience, support and determination to meet our every need in spite of the largest flood along the Danube in 20 years. If you’ve ever seen a Viking Cruise commercial, you know what the Danube Bend looks like, and they use it because it is the most photogenic location along the entire river. Throw in the Visegrád Castle (best viewpoint for the bend) and the lovely towns of Esztergom and Szentendre, and you have the makings of a wonderful daytrip out of Budapest. At first, I attempted to create my own daytrip and considered a variety of commercial offerings, and soon concluded nothing could compete with a private tour via ShuttlesFromBudapest.com. And, I quickly knew I was right, when Suzanna immediately responded to my first inquiry by asking all the right questions to make sure her tour would meet our needs. Finalizing the date and times was easy, and we were set to go – that is until the Danube suffered its second 100-year flood within 20 years, and this one crested on the date we had chosen for our tour. Suzanna had no choice but to cancel the tour; however, she asked if my wife and I might be available two days later? We were, and Suzanna spent the intervening time reaching out to colleagues and contacts along the river, to provide us updates and to turn the impossible into possible by rejiggering the tour specifically for us. The town of Esztergon was still under water, so, unfortunately, it was out. However, because our guide knew the local roads, we were able to have a full tour of Visegrad Castle with its wonderful views of “The Bend.” The roads into Szentendre were still closed, but our guide parked within a ¼ mile of the town and we were able to walk in and have a wonderful visit, which included a 3-course Hungarian meal at a quaint café right in the village center.. I mention these details, because they illustrate that I made the right choice from among several choices for our Danube Bend tour, and I’m so glad we did. Our visit to Budapest was a once-in-a-lifetime trip for us, and Suzanna’s determination to make sure we were able to reach the Danube Bend in the very worst of times, insured we would not return home disappointed. We may never have another opportunity to make use of Suzanna’s exceptional services, but, if in the area, I recommend considering a ShuttlesFromBudapest tour.
