Mary H.
it was a great experience, the gyide was very nice, he gave us so lany explanations, taking care that everyone understood (he did both French and Spanish). The tour was beautiful and the food was great. highly recommended!
John P.
My trip was excellent. The tour guide was very nice and had a lot of knowledge. I recommend it very much.
Rosemary B.
Adam, pur guide, was excellent. The lunch was superb. A good day out overall.
Pamela W.
I genuinely enjoyed my day; the views were amazing! The only downside was that everything felt a bit rushed. We had three stops, and I didn't have enough time to explore everything properly. Make sure to have cash on you, preferably in euros. I had the best lunch of my life, and it was incredibly cheap! It was a long day, but definitely very memorable.
John S.
Excellent experience. The service was spectacular. Our guide, Clara, was very attentive to the group and very professional. I came back delighted from my vacation. Alberto Costa Rica

We were lucky enough to experience the day tour from Budapest with Eva as our guide, and it was absolutely fantastic! Eva impressed us with her warm personality, deep knowledge, and great sense of humor. She brought history to life with engaging stories and fascinating facts that gave us a deeper appreciation for the region around Esztergom, Visegrád, and Szentendre. What truly stood out was how attentive and caring Eva was throughout the day. She made sure everyone felt included (speaking in English and Spanish), was always happy to answer questions, and managed the group with ease and professionalism. The tour was well-organized, with perfectly timed stops and just the right balance between guided insights and free time. We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore more of Hungary beyond Budapest, and if you can, definitely ask for Eva as your guide. She’ll turn your day into something truly special.
Max V.
Great day with our guide Vera. It would have been better to have lunch and spend more time in Szentendre.
Sarah C.
it was great our guide was very knowledgeable the trip was absolutely great
Allen G.
Excellent day trip. Very well organised, knowledgeable and friendly guide, comfortable minibus for the duration of the tour and then returning to Budapest by boat which was a nice way to end the day. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Budapest who wants to get out of the city to see a bit more of the country in a day.

Walking around Szentendre. I would suggest a trip to Szentendre with pre booked meal :)
Lucille M.
Driver was really pleasant and polite We could relax and see the sights and we were informed of important historical or cultural sights We didn’t feel rushed at all and we were taken to an interesting lunch venue with great food Well worth the money !

Very much enjoyed the trip. We did not have the expected boat trip back which was disappointing.
Derrick S.
Such a charming and beautiful town. Transportation was smooth, the guide was very informative and funny, and I got some great souvenirs to take home.
Max M.
The guide, Atilla, was funny. The town was very idyllic. The "Christmas museum" was okay, but we've seen better. The marzipan factory was also okay.
Micheal J.
We had a real, very good Guide and he explained everything very well, 1000 percent recommended and above all a great human being called KINGA
Kay W.
We thoroughly enjoyed our half-day private tour in Szentendre, Hungary. The town’s picturesque streets are adorned with Serbian architecture, and it’s a haven for unique handmade items that you won’t find in typical souvenir shops. Our guide, Sofia, was not only knowledgeable but also made the experience fun and memorable. Highly recommended!
Gloria B.
Very beautiful “bend”! Our guide Tamas from the Bend community, is quite knowledgeable in history and geo. And be aware: his humor in a peaceful face. We enjoyed the tour. Bryan
Sheila E.
Enjoyed getting out into the countryside and seeing a bit more of Hungary. The guide Maria-Gabriella was very friendly, informative & helpful. Enjoyed the Castle visit and lunch was ok quality. The last stop was too much of a tourist trap but liked the old bar selling chimney cakes and good beer. We had a very brief stop in Slovakia and would have appreciated more time there. Overall a worthwhile trip I would recommend but 4 rather than 5 stars.
Carmen S.
I had a great time. Our driver was very knowledgeable about the city
Jose T.
Tamas was superb! He is one of the best tour guides ever. Not only did he provide snacks and beverages, he also provided a detailed and fact-filled narrative addressing all the sights we saw. He gave us free time and flexibility and lots of answers to our many questions. Overall an outstanding experience from start to finish. We had great conversation and we enjoyed his company. His sense of humor is excellent and we had a terrific day!!!
David P.
Tour guide Josef was excellent. Driver Atila was great. Lunch was bad. Nice views but bad food. Do not order wine at lunch. It was not drinkable. They should give us more time at either destination to get lunch ourselves. We were forced to dine with some rude tourists who did not smike or speak and had horrendous table manners.

How much time do you need in Szentendre?
- A half-day is a good amount of time to spend in Szentendre, meaning a full morning or a full afternoon. It's enough to roam the old town, walk to the hill and admire the view, enjoy a snack, stroll along the Danube, and maybe even visit a museum.
- A day trip to Szentendre is ideal and it's 40 minutes from Budapest by train. There's lots to see in this charming town on the Danube Bend.
- Many will say that after a couple of hours you have mostly explored the streets and the stores, and possibly a church or two, and then you are ready to eat something before heading back to Budapest. The city has a great atmosphere, but it lacks additional programs, so unless you just want to relax, eat some good food, and drink coffee, without doing too much other stuff, you could stay for days. However, if you want interesting programs, lots of museums, a wide selection of restaurants, and other programs, it is better to stay in Budapest and only spend a couple of hours or half-a-day in Szentendre.
- You can spend an adventure-filled half a day in Szentendre with some advance planning. Szentendre's food scene has a long way to go, but there are a few cafés and restaurants that won’t disappoint.
