Hungary Tours & Trips

Prague is amazing. I found the history of the city to be rich, the people were very welcoming, and in general is a relaxed atmosphere filled with a variety of food and culture. This is a city I can visit again. I would suggest if coming in June, do stay in a hotel with air conditioning. Budapest was a different experience. The city is busy and in speaking with locals everything is much more short and less pleasantry in conversation. I was disappointed with our city tour. It was to be an English only tour, but two Italians were added to our group. So our guide had to constantly flip back and forth when speaking which means we had less information and not really much time to ask questions. I applaud the guides ability to speak in different languages quickly, but I do feel I didn’t receive what I had paid for. In addition, it was warm out 26C/80F and our van with 14 people inside was simply hot and the driver would not tune the speed of the AC beyond 2 out of 5 on the dial. The Italians, Americans, Indians, and women from Montenegro were all hot and with the can weaving in/out of traffic made it easy to experience motion sickness. I also felt we were rushed to see and take in sites, yet we spent 5-10 minutes at a very tiny shop because our guide likes to stop there. That was a waste of time in my opinion. Would I visit Budapest again…no. Likewise, if I were on a boat going down the Danube I would stay on board. My suggestion would be to Prague with Salzburg or Dresden.

A short but beautiful getaway filled with culture, architecture, and wonderful city experiences. Everything was well organized, from accommodations to transportation, and both cities offered an amazing atmosphere. Perfect for travelers wanting a quick European escape with great value.

I only had a few days in Budapest, and this was a great tour that had a few things planned for the stay, whilst providing lots of free time to explore on your own as well. Best of both world really. Accommodation was in a great location and was walkable to most locations around the city. The boat tour was a highlight, cruising down the Danube and seeing the city all lit up. The thermal baths were amazing, there is no timeframe on this, so you can spend as long as you like there. Overall really enjoyed this adventure to Budapest.
