5.00Our guide Kristina was very thoughtful and gave a lot of interesting information. The restaurant was fantastic and the place felt very welcoming. The meal was traditional Hungarian food and was worth every penny. As for the horse show, while a bit short it is definitely worth seeing.
A nice little trip to...

4.00A nice little trip to Kecskemet and a chance to see a bit more of Hungary. Our guide, Elisabeth, was knowlegable and informative. The horse show didn't amount to much but we did get to see the horses up close and watch them race around.
Informative and fun

5.00Relaxed and engaging. This tour with Attila (who else in Hungary?) was wonderful. Being able to walk into places we would otherwise walk past was great.

3.00My wife and i went on this venture. It was fun but LOTS of down time and we had no idea it was a full day journey as we were leaving BUDAPEST early the next morning. Also had a hard time finding the meeting place. Please indicate going forward that the the meeting place is inside the Intercontintel hote. Thanks, Chris Schneck
Best excursion ever

5.00Learned a bit of the history of Budapest on the drive out of town, enjoyed the walking tour of Kecskemet, had a fantastic and filling lunch, followed by an amazing demonstration of the Hungarian horsemen. The van provided a comfortable ride and our guide (Yolonda) was very knowledgeable and friendly. What a great way to experience the Great Plains of Hungary!

2.00The guide was ok on the road . Kecshemet was nice, enjoyed walking through square with vendors. The horse show was totally disorganized, we spent a lot of time standing around with no idea where to go next. This is where our guide was not good, he gave us no guidance at show. The food was good at the show...the show was ok but very short once we figured out where we were supposed to be. Overall we were disappointed and it was not a very good choice for our last day in Budapest.
A very good day trip...

5.00A very good day trip outside of the city. The guide was informative and helpful. We had a good driver. We had a lovely walk around with stop for coffee and cake then a good lunch at Puszta then an excellent carriage ride. Interesting walk around stables and a good show where you could crack your own whip if you wanted

5.00Klara was a great tour guide. Keczkemet is a cute town in the Hungarian Plain. The church bell chimes was a pleasure to listen to. We got to see Lipizzaner horses, Hungarian Gray Cattle, and observe traditional Hungarian horse dressage and training. The lunch that was served as part of the tour was delicious and generous in quantity.
That was so good.

5.00The sightseeing in Kecskemét, the horse show and lunch were all good. The gouache soup we served at lunch was very good with lots of beef and potatoes! The apricot jam on the dessert milk pie Tejespite is also excellent. The ease of getting there by bus from Budapest is also good. I highly recommend this tour.
