Budapest Donauknie – Private ganztägige Tour mit Mittagessen

Zsofia (Sophia). Was a high energy positive personality and gave a great tour up through the Danube bend. We spent the majority of time driving in her car to various places starting with Pest and then moving over to Budapest. She offered a detailed explanation at each site and gave us Hungarian lessons along the way. We stopped and walked at several locations including Visagrad (and the castle), to Esztergom and the stunning basilica, I to Slovakia, to the lovely village of Szentendrei You can tell she had done this for decades as she has a mental script of everything and continues to talk all through driving in the all the way up the country side. The drive up is pleasant but it is a tad longer trip than some people would want. As an American, the long history of the Hungarians and all the occupations such as the Romans, the Ottoman Turks, the Hapsburg dynasty, Austria Hungarian empire, the Nazis, the Soviets, the long period of communism and then the transition to capitalism is fascinating!! Zsofia is a true Hungarian and loves to talk about her country. It is probably not for everyone as, like I stated she is high energy and forward, which would probably not work for some subdued, less adventurous Americans, but it worked for us!! The only negative would be the length of the trip (Hungarian traffic is quite unpredictable) as you may only have a few day budget and it might take away from some activities/sites in Budapest.

Ausgezeichnete Gelegenheit, Gebiete außerhalb von Budapest zu sehen. Susan war eine großartige Führerin, die alle Arten von historischen Hintergründen auf diesen drei Stätten zur Verfügung stellte und uns sicher fuhr und führte.

Susan was by far the most knowledgeable travel guide we ever experienced. She is a walking encyclopedia for all historical events not just our tour related. It was a very worthwhile experience showing the Danube bend towns/attractions along with key attractions in Budapest. Very enriching experience.
