Overview of your Budapest tour

Budapest is just the beginning. Hungary's most bewitching towns and villages are just a 'day away'. Spend a relaxing day with me and explore the beautiful Hungarian countryside! Danube Bend Tour: Enjoy a memorable day in the Danube Bend and experience the best panoramic view of Hungary, beautiful landscape and fascinating history, which I am happy to share as I am passionate with the history of my country! It is often called the cradle of the country, our first king was born, baptized and crowned here. This is an exciting program along the Danube with 3 stops, in Esztergom, Visegrád and Szentendre. I will show you the largest basilica in Hungary, a medieval fortress and a charming baroque town. One of the most popular tours with marvelous views, insider information and plenty of history presented in an amusing manner. This is what I promise!

George is an incredible guide. We were so lucky to have had his expertise guide us through our first trip to Budapest. I’m a history fanatic and he taught me so many things I did not know. He is funny, professional, intelligent, and so much more. If I come to Budapest in the future George will be my first call.

Hungary is a beautiful country, rich in history and culture and full of friendly people. We spent a thoroughly amazing day with George, learning about the origins and history of Hungary while exploring towns along the Danube. We learned so much, and so saw much -- I'm really for grateful for the day we spent together!

Had a wonderful time! George is very knowledgeable and was able to get us around the city and country side with a very good narrative of the attractions and area. He also gave an excellent recommendation in Budapest for dinner...Ans was willing to adjust and accommodate any special request we had! I would recommend and book again with him!

We booked the services of George for 3 consecutive days - One day to introduce us to all the major significant buildings in Budapest and 2 other days visiting areas outside of the capital including Lake Balaton. George Molnar was extremely good and knows his history. We were very happy with his services and would highly recommend him to anyone else looking to get to know the area better.

Our guide arrived on time in a lovely comfy vehicle. He was very polite and friendly and knew a lot about Hungary, Budapest, the mountains and surrounding villages. The places we went to on the bends tour were amazing. Beautiful views, beautiful buildings and villages. He let us make our own choices on the way which gave us adequate time to spend time enjoying what we wanted to do. We would recommend this tour and tour guide highly. His English was excellent.

We very much enjoyed our day with George, he picked us up in Esztergom and gave us a full day tour ending in Budapest. George is very friendly and enjoys telling a joke and he aims to please his customers and he is a gentleman opening and closing doors for you and making sure you are ok. George is very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. We highly recommend George as a tour guide.
