“Peter was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who made the trip worthwhile. He was always considerate and checked in on everyone throughout the day if we needed breaks or pit stops. It was nice to be in a small van rather than a giant bus where we had the chance to ask more questions and move more efficiently. I would highly recommend Peter and his team!”

Our local guide Sofia was knowledgeable, informative, friendly and a BIG personality....at times "over the top" in enthusiasm. ..a bit much actually. All in all, we enjoyed our visit to Budapest. As our home base was Vienna, we observed the stark difference of the condition of these two cities; Vienna, picture perfect , clean and well maintained, Budapest; a bit run down , tired and somewhat neglected.”
