The route was very beautiful and the tour guide's descriptions were accurate and interesting. The places visited during the day trip were beautiful, even if the heat did not always make for a comfortable visit. The return trip by boat was very satisfying. The restaurant in Visegrad offered a panoramic view, even if the cuisine was not up to the standard of the location. It was a shame that it was not possible to visit Visegrad.

Really interesting visit and our guide Yolanda was excellent! Nice to ‘pop’ into Slovakia for good views. The 3 course meal in the hilltop restaurant was really good! Chicken soup, Chicken paprikash with the best sauerkraut I’ve ever had! It’s traditional Hungarian food, so lovely. Some previous feedback on this trip was that the food wasn’t good- not sure what they were expecting, but we thought it was great! The trip back down the Danube was a lovely way to end the day. Well worth it!

The beautiful landscapes, great transportation, and overall a highly recommended activity. The tour guide was very willing but had little knowledge of the language and was not prepared to explain everything necessary to understand and learn what I wanted to know. I think that if a Spanish tour guide is offered, they should be good at it.

It was a really well balanced tour the stops were interesting and we had enough time at each. The lunch at the hunters restaurant was really good and one of the best meals I’ve had in Hungary There was a problem as I had not specified a dietary restriction but it was no trouble Szentendre was really nice and the boat trip back to Budapest was lovely
