Nora provided great insight into the history and culture of the city in an interesting lively manner. She made sure that my family and friends were comfortable during the tour and even changed her plans on the spot to accommodate my mother who couldn’t climb stairs and drove her to the top of the hill to see St. Matthias church. Thank you so much for a great tour!”
Day trip cruise from Budapest to Visegrád with 5 hours in town, medieval sights, pálinka tasting, and scenic Danube Bend views.
“visegrad is actually a really great destination however the “cruise” is more akin to a ferry ride. Despite being a six hour return trip the onboard audio is for a different trip, the onboard cafe/bar did not open so there is no chance of a hot drink nor water, there is no information about the toilets nor onboard safety, and the joyless crew barely speak, so do not provide any information about the journey nor the destination.”

“It was a bit of a let down. We found it hard to figure out the ones and outs of the towels and locker room, as there was no signage in English. The main floor attendant was super nice and had to help us out a few times. The pools were ok, the sauna was down for maintenance. Bring your own towel and bathing cap!!! We did another thermal bath outside of town and it was less crowded and had way more saunas.”

“I booked this tour on viator after seeing the itinerary of this tour. It is very well planned and paced. There were only 5 of us on this tour, so it made the interactions very genuine and our guide, Ferenc was more than able to answer all our questions. He was funny, professional, knowledgeable and knew exactly what to say and how. The lunch was more than amazing, we got the best Goulash soup I ever had during my holiday. Main course was Chicken Paprika and the dessert was light and refreshing, all in a beautiful restaurant. Highly recommended!”
