Great excursion around the Danube Bend

Sofia was a great guide! Very friendly and informative. We enjoyed all three towns on the tour, especially the castle at Visegrad. Lunch was at a very charming restaurant in Szentendre and we had plenty of time at each spot. Great way to see part of Hungary beyond Budapest.

Our guide was excellent....

Our guide was excellent. Not only did we see other places in the country, but we also learned a lot about Hungary, its history, and its people. This tour was very interesting, and above all, we learned a little more about this beautiful country.

Once again we were fortunate to have Nora as our tour guide. We had an awesome time seeing all the sights. Again she is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Would highly recommend this trip and hope you get Nora for your guide.

Perfect way to see small towns in Budapest

Not quite sure why this tour has mixed reviews. It was an awesome full day of visiting 3 small towns outside of Budapest. Susan, our guide, was an immense wealth of knowledge. I couldn't believe the things she knew! She could answer every question we threw at her. We took the tour on a Thursday. Since the boat doesn't run on this day, we got to choose a nice compensation instead. We spent the perfect amount of time in each city. Susan was with us at the beginning of each city then we were left to spend time on our own. We never felt rushed to get to the next place. Lunch was delicious. The car was a tight fit for 4 adults, but this in no way would keep us from doing the trip again. The conversation alone made it worth it. Please remember to tip your guide 10%. They deserve it!

Our Danube Bend cruise by car

I was informed that the regular cruise was not going because we were too late in the season. But as an alternative, I was offered a smaller boat that would take us on the same Danube Bend route at the same time. This was not what we got. Instead, we were taken by car to the monuments and villages along the Danube Bend. Our tour guide was great, but we weren't on the River.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. However we kindly ask you to check if you added your review to the correct local provider as WE DO NOT sell the Danube bend tour by cruise all around . We do provide a one hour long cruise at the end of the tour from Szentendre city in Summertime as you see the tour description. Please recheck and modify your review accordingly not to have any misunderstanding. Thank you for checking. Warm regards.

Didn’t like it.

Terrible experience. Driver didn’t give correct information as what he is going to cover. We found out later that cruise is not availability that day. Once we called the number on voucher, operator mentioned don’t worry we will give you cruise from city center. Lunch offered was very uncourtious and did not like it at all. It looked like waste of time and money.
