This was a great trip to take to explore outside of Buda and Pest. We learned a lot about the history of Hungary. The only reason why I did not give it 5 stars was the microphone was not working most of the trip. Our guide did turn around and give us some history without the mic but we lost some of the history. It was a bit scary at times when our van driver was trying to fix the mic while driving on narrow roads. He did eventually begin pulling over when he did his fixes, which we appreciated. I would still highly recommend this trip to anyone making a trip to Budapest.

Really had a great time! The tour was split up with one van for an Italian tour and one for English. Our guide (I forgot his name, Adam maybe? He was Romanian) was very knowledgeable. Enjoyed all of the spots, even though the overlook was super foggy and the basilica is under major construction. The lunch was extremely good- I expected so much worse. Make sure you dress warmly in the winter time- the outer locations were much colder and windier than Budapest was. Also, make sure you bring cash for bathroom stops (coins) and for a tip. Some of the vendors in places we stopped were cash only. My only minor complaint is I paid extra for the hotel pickup, not knowing where the tour started (it's at the Intercontinental Hotel). I was at the Marriot next door, and the "pickup" was one of the guides walking me over to the Intercontinental.

Fantastic tour, outstanding driver and guide, extremely knowledgeable friendly and polite. Beautiful locations Visegard and Ezstergom were stunning in the snow, gorgeous views over the danbue. Lunch was delicious and apricot brandy as an appetiser was very welcome on such a snowy days. Plenty time to walk round the cathedral stunning architecture. Szentendre was just so quaint, lovely little shops with beautiful hand made crafts, marzipan museum, retro museum, lots of time to wander at leisure after the tour. Would highly recommend
