I liked the whole trip. One little thing. The tour left 30 minutes late due to people arriving late. I thought the wait time was excessive.

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 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

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.

It was a wonderful trip!! Yolanda our tour guide is an excellent guide. She kept describing places along the way, told us a lot of history, took us to a great place for lunch, and was always willing to help and answer our questions. I highly recommend this tour. We even crossed to the other side of the river to Slovakia for breathtaking views of the Basilica.
