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.)

5.00My 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!
Tamas is the best👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

5.00We had a fantastic day tour with Tamas learning and visiting the Danube Bend Area. Tamas was engaging and very knowledgeable about all areas of our tour: historical facts; topography/ecology and ethnographic details. We could not have been more pleased with what we got out of our day and the hospitality Tamas showed us. If you have a chance to tour with him, we would highly recommend it!

5.00Our Danube Bend day tour with Tamás was an exceptional experience from start to finish. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about the history of Hungary and the surrounding region as we drove through the beautiful countryside. One of the highlights was getting to try a variety of local snacks he provided along the way. Everything was absolutely delicious and added a special, authentic touch to the experience. All three stops on the tour were fantastic, each offering something unique and memorable. Tamás made the entire day enjoyable, engaging, and seamless. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore beyond Budapest and gain a deeper appreciation for Hungary!

5.00Wow, this was one of the best tours we have ever been on. My family loves to travel and have done probably 6-7 similar style tours in various different countries. What stood out with this day trip was the guide. Tamas is fabulous. He was constantly asking how we were doing, he brought snacks, cold/hot drinks in the van. He is extremely knowledgeable, set a great pace for the day. He paid for our bathrooms, bought my children chocolate. We really couldn't have asked for a better day. Hi highly recommend this trip.

5.00I spent many hours researching things to do in Budapest. I came across the private Danube bend tour with Tamas and read all of the incredible reviews. I was very excited and immediately booked the tour for myself and my husband. We had very high expectations and I’m happy to say that Tamas far exceeded them. From our 1st class van, to the delicious drinks and snacks provided through out the day, to the extensive knowledge and friendly demeanor Tamas provided, this tour absolutely can’t be missed. The Danube bend is stunning and our personalized tour with Tamas was more than we could have hoped for. I can’t recommend this enough. It’s absolutely worth every penny. We also discovered that Tamas has other tours available and are looking forward to booking one of those, as well.
Had the most wonderful day

5.00Fantastic day. Tamas our guide and driver for the day was brilliant. His history on Hungary was mesmerising. Visegrad castle has lots of steps but well worth it for the views. Szentendre is a gorgeous place, with a Marzipan museum, colourful umbrellas adorn one of the streets. Esztergom Basilica is amazing Would highly recommend this tour for the history and beauty Thank you Tamas

5.00Our tour guide, Sophia, was absolutely wonderful. She genuinely seemed to enjoy sharing Hungary with us, and her enthusiasm made the day even better. She was cheerful, informative, and gave us plenty of time at each stop without ever making us feel rushed. We loved the itinerary and all the sites we visited. It was a fantastic day overall, and we would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore beyond the city. The transportation was also very comfortable.
