Agnes gave our tour on a very hot day. She was at our pace -2 seniors, which was great. She had encyclopedic knowledge of the castle and the history of Hungary, of which we knew very little, sad to say. We were enriched at all levels and would recommend the tour with Agnes anywhere she goes!
Good day, Agnes will be so touched to hear this. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! It’s clear she brought not only her incredible depth of knowledge, but also genuine care and attentiveness to your experience. We’re so glad she helped make the history of Hungary come alive in such a thoughtful and accessible way. Touring with her really is something special! and we agree, we’d follow her anywhere too! We are thrilled that you were enriched at all levels, thank you for the highest compliment. We hope to welcome you back on another tour soon. Warm wishes.
