More than expected, our guide Peter picked us at the hotel and drove us to the two destinations and back giving us a good explanation. We enjoyed this trip and strongly recommend it.
Thank you very much for your kind words and recommendation! I’m really happy to hear that the experience exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the day exploring the Danube Bend. It’s always my goal to make the trip both informative and enjoyable from start to finish. Thank you again for choosing this tour – I truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back in the future! Kind regards, Peter
Our guide was informative and wonderful. Would recommend highly! Beautiful to see the countryside. Worth the price
Thank you very much for your kind words and recommendation! I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found it informative and worthwhile. The Danube Bend truly offers beautiful countryside views, and I’m glad it made such a good impression. Thank you again for choosing this experience! Kind regards, Peter
The riverside town of Szentendre and Visegrad Castle are a great day trip visit from Budapest. Peter our tour guide made it even more wonderful. He provided on-time pickup at our hotel and was all things expected of an excellent guide (and driver) ...prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and very kind. Peter timed our visit to Szentendre perfectly, arriving just as the town shops and cafe's opened for the day which we were able to enjoy throughout the morning while also learning of the town's unique medieval and artistic history. As part of the tour, we also visited the Marzipan Musuem and had delicious coffee at the adjacent Szamos Cafe. After Szentendre, we traveled further up along the Danube River to Visegrad Castle which did not disappoint. The views from Visergrad upper castle were amazing. From here, you have picturesque views of the Danube Bend and can see easily see why previous Hungarian Kings chose this location to build their fortifications. Overall, a great day trip from Budapest and Peter, our guide, was fantastic. We will book with him again the next time we return Budapest.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and detailed review – it truly means a lot! I’m delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful day exploring Szentendre and Visegrád, and that the experience met – and perhaps even exceeded – your expectations. Timing the visit to Szentendre for a quieter, more enjoyable atmosphere is something I always aim for, so I’m especially glad you appreciated that part of the day. It’s great to know you enjoyed the stops along the way as well, from the Marzipan Museum and coffee at Szamos Café to the breathtaking views from Visegrád Castle. The Danube Bend really is a special place, rich in history and natural beauty. Thank you also for your kind words about my guiding – your feedback about punctuality, communication, and overall experience means a great deal to me. I truly appreciate your recommendation, and I would be very happy to welcome you again on your next visit to Budapest! Kind regards, Peter
