The village is very cute and there are a lot of shops and food establishments. However, it is a bit of a stretch to call this an “Artist Village.” Many of the items at the shops could have been bought in Budapest, including t-shirts and hats that said “Budapest” on them, the same paprika items available in Budapest, etc. There were a few true artist shops with locally made items but not many. In addition, we spent a LOT of time going from shop to shop on the tour, with our tour guide promoting “the best place to get X product” at many of them. It felt like the guide was getting a kickback to promote some stores. We certainly appreciate an overview of the shopping but we spent much time stopping in specific shops and discussing what they did in fine detail. Obviously, some of these items were not even a consideration for us to buy. We would rather have less discussion of the shopping on the tour and more time to browse shops (that we were interested in) at our leisure. Tell us about the town, its history and the buildings but just pepper in some shopping highlights. In addition, it took 30 minutes to get the “surprise” Langos snack. This wasted a full 20% of the time we had in the village. Overall, a charming town but not what I would call an “Artist Village” and a tour that was too focused on shopping. I wouldn’t say it was awful but I would not pay over $100 per person for it again.
We always respect our customers’ opinions, but we would like to clarify a few factual points: 1) Szentendre is indeed known as an artists’ town, which is a historical and cultural fact. Since the establishment of the Art Colony, together with its long craft heritage and around 50 museums, the town has rightfully earned this reputation. Of course, it is not possible to meet every artist personally during a single afternoon visit. 2) We find it unfair to suggest that we recommend shops because of commissions. This does not reflect our work or our values. We do not work with commissions—we work for our guests and for preserving and sharing Hungarian cultural heritage. We only recommend places that we genuinely believe offer good value and an authentic experience. 3) Regarding the surprise lángos tasting: as the name suggests, it is an optional surprise element of the tour. If a guest does not wish to try it, it can simply be skipped. We include it because, in our opinion, it is one the best examples of traditional lángos in Hungary, and something very different from what most visitors find in Budapest.
Excellent trip , our guide Maisha was very knowledgeable and gave us great information about the tour . She took care of all our needs, guiding us through food , shopping , photo opportunities. Honestly, Maisha made the tour more beautiful.
Loved experiencing this small village outside of the city and learning about its role in history. We even saw Roman ruins from the train!
Half day tour from Budapest to Szentendre, Rudi was a wonderful tour guide! He shared a lot about Budapest and Hungary's history, as well as the architecture and cultural shifts in Budapest and Szentendre. I had a great time and learned a great deal, much thanks to him! Happily and highly recommend this tour.
Maisha was a good guide. We enjoyed learning about Szentendre from her. Szentendre is a small pretty village. Few shops could be considered "artisan" - mostly souvenir tourist shops. 2-3 hours is enough time to walk through. The umbrella street was a great photo opp.
Definitely worth a visit. A special village with varied history. And close to Budapest. Lots to see and do and everyone was super friendly. Orthentic food and goods. A fabulous artist working on one street. Highly recommend!
Wonderful guide Mishka Knowledgeable, considerate and very helpful with travel arrangements after tour
The total cost was roughly $100 USD. However, they took us by public transportation (subway) to Szentendre. The guide was great and she was knowledgeable, and very helpful. But for $100 USD, I feel the minimum should have been private transportation; else I do not see how two subway tickets plus the guide equals that amount.
Dear Luis, The tour happened exactly as advertised. We take a train (not a subway) to the location, as stated in the tour description. We are happy to hear that you found the guide great and knowledgeable, because that is exactly why people hire a private tour guide. With this concept, we are the #1 rated provider at this location. We are sorry to hear that you did not feel the tour was worth the price, but we take pride in our work preserving and sharing Hungarian cultural and historical heritage. We believe our pricing is in line with international market trends and the interest in this type of activity. Thank you for joining us and for sharing your feedback.
I loved this tour, our guide Maisha was very knowledgeable and so friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. We took a train to the artists village which I loved as I felt I was seeing and experiencing much more of Budapest. It was a lovely little village with something for all age groups. After taking us around the village, Maisha took us to a little place where we had a slice of Langos and then we had an hour to do what we wanted. This tour was well worth the money.
You should forewarn of 2 hour walking tour of cobblestone streets. I would not have booked had I known
Hello! The description mentions walking arround cobblestone streets. As we are visiting a location, which is pedestrian only, walking cannot be avoided. The walk is easy and relaxed paced, possible to be completed by anyone at any age. If someone doesn't want to see everything, it is not mandatory, of course.
