Review of a private Budapest day trip to Szentendre and Visegrád, with Danube views, castle history, Hungarian lunch, and wine tasting.

“Nora the guide was excellent. She made the tour. Very knowledgeable and interesting. It was nice to go outside the city, the village we went to was beautiful, would have liked to have stayed longer to explore more. Lunch was good, but wine tasting was disappointing, it was more wine pairing with each of the 3 courses, you didn't get much wine and we felt a little rushed. We were in and out within an hour.”

He went above and beyond telling us the history of important events in Hungary and their relevance to the sites we visited. He was also very accommodating and made adjustments to our tour based on our preferences. We were very comfortable traveling with Tamas - he always offered us drinks and snacks during the trip.”

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!”

14.Private trip: Budapest to Szentendre, Visegrád & Esztergom

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 11 reviews · 8 hours · from $265

Review of a private Budapest day trip to Szentendre, Visegrád, and Esztergom, with private transport, free time, and Danube views.

“It was really just what I was looking for. The event was perfectly on time and the event wrapped up exactly when it was supposed to. Because we were just 2 (+ the driver) this was less of a tour and mostly just about transportation - though the driver did have some background material. By his admission he was just a driver, with larger groups there is a specific tour guide as well. But we were looking more for freedom at the locations, so just a bit of tour info was perfect. Thomas was a great guy to spend a great day with.”
