It was an interesting tour through attractive scenery. Sadly it rained all day so the views were not as spectacular as they would have been on a dry, sunny day. The mini bus was comfortable and the guide spoke good English giving enough historical facts to keep our interest. We had a delicious 3 course lunch in a lovely restaurant with what would have been a lovely view had the weather been better. I would certainly recommend this tour but try to choose a dry day.

It was great to have to have a guide knowledgeable about the history of the towns we passed. It was a beautiful time of year. All pick ups were timely and it helped ThT Isztev was trilingual. I wish we would have had more time at each place and that we could have stopped at the castle.

Good experience with a very kind guide

We met our guide Lazlo and he explained us it was a mixed group, so he had to explain the same things three times in three different languages and it was a little boring (I suggest maximum 2 languages per group). On the other hand Lazlo is very nice and gave us a lot of interesting infos about the places we visited. The lunch was a bit disappointing, but the tour itself has been very interesting and we enjoyed it a lot.
