“The whole tour was good, we were kept informed all the way. The only negative was the restaurant that was chosen, it would have been better to have a fast food joint in the after instead of trying to eat a full meal in the afternoon”
Danube Bend day trip from Budapest: Esztergom Basilica, Visegrád views, Szentendre town, and a seasonal Szentendre to Budapest boat ride.
“Vera and Antonio were awesome. Vera was excellent in switching languages to explain to us. First in English, then in Spanish. Her native tongue is Hungarian, so that made it even more special. A perfect day!”
Hotel pickup whisks you from Budapest to Dömös for a small-group hike with Danube-bend views, gorge ladders, snacks, and water.
“The day was amazing. Easy pick up from our hotel and then off to Dömös with two other lovely people. The hike was challenging and fun for the first part with a rewards along the way and at the top. Beautiful! The canyon area was completely different and also very fun. A different beautiful. Gyuri was our guide and he was wonderful. Shared facts on the region, shared some snacks, and was a delight to have guiding us. Would highly recommend to people who want a break from the city and want to see the beautiful nature that Hungary has to offer.”
Steep Danube Bend ridge views from Dömös, then Ram gorge waterfalls with rails, plus Visegrád Castle access.
“One of the best experiences I have ever had! Attila is one of the best guides anyone could ever ask for. He took me on an epic hike seeing everything that the forest of Hungary had to offer, as well as an insightful glimpse into the history at the Visegrád Castle. I really appreciated his patience during the hike, there were definitely some steep parts to it, but overall, well worth it for the view overlooking the Danube river bend. If you get a chance to do this during your time in Hungary, please do. Truly one of the best experiences ever! Suitable for any nature lover, hiker enthusiast -…”

Rent a bike for 8 hours in central Budapest, with helmet and lock plus staff tips. Ride the Danube, even to Szentendre.
“The bikes we were given were not suitable for the excursion to Szentendre. They braked even downhill, they did not work properly, the wheels rubbed and the sprockets were not greased, we managed to get there with a lot of effort but we had to return by train. The guy who was in the shop on Sunday did not tell us anything about the bikes not being suitable and when we returned he said yes to everything as if we were stupid, indicating that we should have changed gears. Very poor service. The 3 bikes were the same, they were cheap but they are only good for walking around the…”
