Full day guided tour with Gabriel provided a wonderful experience and understanding of the complex history of Hungary. With the comfort of an air conditioned van in 30 degree heat, the tour was very pleasant with the scenery and explanation on historic significance of each site. Highly recommended

Traveling with Gabriel could not have gone better! Not only was he extremely kind and polite, he was also so knowledgable. The tour itself was a beautiful way to see the Hungarian countryside, and having the addition of a welcoming and compassionate tour guide was a plus! I would recommend this tour to anyone who is staying in Budapest but wants to get out of the city for a bit!

We absolutely loved the tour of the Danube River Bend. Gabriel was an amazing guide and truly made the trip special. He is full of information and allows you to explore at your own pace and do any activities you’d like. The sites and towns are out of a fairytale and definitely worth exploring while in Budapest. Gabriel made this trip so memorable is by far the best guide we’ve ever had. Would most definitely recommend!

Ferenc provided us with a wonderful day filled with so much history, detailed knowledge of local points of interest, art, architecture, customs & culture. We enjoyed going site to site and meandering through the beautiful countryside. He was pleased to answer questions and gracious to divert to show us additional historical sites of interest to us. I would highly recommend this tour as a great compliment to any visit to the Budapest area.

Gabriel was phenomenal in every aspect: historically knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, and loved his country! We did too after spending the day with him. The lunch provided was exceptional too. We would recommend this over and over! We wish we were here longer to take advantage of his expertise on other tours!

My wife and I took a day trip from Budapest to visit the Danube Bend. To complicate matters, we have a 2 year old daughter with a foldable stroller. The guide, Gabor, was punctual, friendly, and extremely accommodating to our situation. He even helped carry the stroller up the castle steps and made non-scheduled side trips when the scenery caught our eye. Gabor's English is fluent and he is very knowledgeable about the area, its history, and makes the countryside come alive. To the tour itself: we visited 3 main sites. Ezstergom (old capital with large church), Visegrad (castle and seat of power during feudal times), and Szentendre (artist village with Serbian background). All three areas were wonderful and we felt like we had enough time to sightsee, especially given our limited pace of walking. We also visited the Slovakia side of the river to take pictures. Lunch was at a nice Hungarian restaurant, which was surprisingly upscale - venison, roasted pike, etc. If you are looking for a day trip from Budapest and are interested in the Danube river and its history, then I strongly recommend Gabor.

Me, my wife and our son have enjoyed the trip with Gabor to the Danube Bend so much. The tour was fabulous, very flexible and we really enjoyed any minute of it. Gabor is a very caring guide with impressive knowledge of the area, we learnt a lot about Hungarian culture and the lunch was amazing, too. We felt very welcome. Next time we will not hesitate to approach him again for more trips. Excellent guide, very recommended, thank you again, Gabor! :-)
