I loved every minute of my time with my guide. She was very knowledgeable, providing me with history and information I asked about, as well as professional and friendly. I was pleasantly surprised when she anticipated my needs and helped me in various ways. I can’t say enough good things about her. Herend porcelain museum, factory, tea room and shop was everything I had hoped for and more. I would highly recommend this day trip to anyone visiting Budapest.
Thank you so much for your very kind review, we are more than happy, you spent a day with satisfaction, happy travels! Ildiko
