What To Expect
Szentendre
Szentendre is a historic town with cobblestone streets, Baroque architecture, and a lively art scene. Settled by various peoples over the centuries, it became an important center for Serbian refugees in the 17th century, who left behind a distinctive Orthodox heritage. Today, its museums, galleries, and Danube River promenade make it a favorite destination for visitors interested in culture and history.
Visegradi Fellegvar
Visegrád Castle in Hungary is a history buff's/nature lover's dream. Combining an impressive 13th-century citadel with stunning Danube views, this stop is a great opportunity to explore Hungary's royal past and take amazing photos of the Danube Bend. You can even see a wax figure exhibit of the famous 1335 meeting of three kings. (Please note that between January 12 - February 28, the castle is only open on Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays.)

5.00We had an amazing day trip with Tamas in Hungary and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and hidden gems of the country. From the moment the tour started, he made us feel welcome and ensured everyone was comfortable and engaged. Tamas has a great way of bringing places to life with interesting stories and local insights that you wouldn’t get on your own. The itinerary was well organized, the pace was perfect, and he was always happy to answer questions and offer recommendations. What really stood out was his professionalism, enthusiasm, and genuine care for making sure everyone had a memorable experience. Thanks to Tamas, our day in Hungary was one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an informative, enjoyable, and unforgettable tour experience.
A lot more to Hungary than just Budapest

5.00The wife and I had such a great experience with Tamas today. He showed up at our hotel early for our pickup time and was waiting outside. He has sent me a message that morning so I let him know we were in the lobby about 10 mins before our scheduled pick up time and he walked right in and greeted us. He was very friendly and came prepared with drinks and snacks for the day. His van was very comfortable to ride in , and he made sure the temperature in the back was to our liking. Along our journey we opted to hear about the history of the areas we were driving through. He was very knowledgeable about historical events from early history to more modern eras. It was very apparent he has a passion for what he does. During our stops he talked about the building and ruins in the area which was great information. For lunch he recommended an excellent restaurant that was well priced and delicious.. Just as an fyi bring your passport with you for this tour as we briefly passed into Slovakia for a great vantage point. I would also recommend comfortable walking shoes. There were a handful of flights of steps but I wouldn’t say the activity level is more than moderate. My Apple Watch recorded around 10k steps, some of which were self inflicted as we spent some time going back and forth through some shops. We were dropped back off safe and sound to our hotel in the afternoon with lots of pictures and great memories. I recommend this tour and would do it all over again!

5.00My Mom and I loved this tour! Tamas has an extremely deep knowledge of Hungarian history, is a wealth of information, and has a great sense of humor. During the drive he told us Hungary's History and even pointed out some of the Roman ruins. At each stop, his historical commentary was much appreciated, informative, enlightening, and definitely added to the overall experience. He was kind and courteous as he offered us bottles of water and snacks. Also, he was really patient and never rushed us, as my Mom and I did some shopping at a market in our free time in Szentendre. If I'm ever in the area again, I would book one of his other tours he offers. We can't recommend this tour enough.

5.00My husband and I absolutely loved this tour! All 3 stops were different but excellent. Tamas is very knowledgeable about the history and events in Estergom and Viesgrad castle as well as Hungarian history. Gave us great commentary at all 3 stops and also let us roam a bit on our own. Tamas also gave us entertaining history lessons on the drive to first stop, was very safe and friendly guide for the day. Drinks and snacks were provided and we had options on where and when to have lunch. Overall, a great way to spend a day outside the city!
