Great Introduction to HungaryDayTrip21101584150
Christine was very knowledgeable about the area. She told us interesting things about past and present. By the end of the tour she felt like a dear friend. Our lunch/dinner was wonderful
She told stories and interesting details during the ride that made our trip memorable. If we were here a little longer we would have booked her for another trip! She was a real gem! We learned a lot about the Budapest area.
We would definitely recommend her for future trips!!

Ge'za was a smooth driver and also very polite and friendly
Worth the private experience!ShannonE236
Absolutely loved our private tour of the Danube Bend - went to several look out places, did some short but good walking around, and learned so much from our very knowledgeable tour guide. We aren't big eaters so lunch was bigger than normal but we were able to order less.
Enjoyable Danube River Bend - Day Tourlaren_t
Tour gets you beyond Budapest to see the countryside and interesting sites near the Danube River Bend. Great experience with skilled driver (Lazlo) and expert tour guide ( Christine). They met us at our hotel promptly when agreed, worked through the traffic changes and congestion from Hungary’s National Day holiday and as we travelled Christina talked about the historic events and places. She is extremely knowledgeable on all matters of Hungary’s long history, the many matters of intrigue, scandal and personal sacrifice. We stopped and had an excellent lunch and was returned to the hotel feeling like we had been in the presence of a real historian all day. Highly recommend this small group focused tour and these particular people to get a detailed lesson in Hungarian history.

Top guide Christine!!!Vacation580702
Christina Teplan was our guide for 2 full days & we learned ALL the Hungarian history.
Very knowledgeable and extremely friendly, would highly recommend her and our driver Lazlo.
We would prefer other lunch restaurant options - not traditional Hungarian every day. Only thing I would change!!
Wonderful experience thank you! Kasi!!

A wonderful experiencecaroevafab
It was a wonderful day with Christine our guide and Norbert our driver. Both of them are so kind, helpful and very professional. We learnt so many things and it is really a must do when you are in Hungary
Spectacular views of the Danube Bend. I did this tour as part of my holidays to Hungary and support of the Portugal National team who were based from Budapest. This tour was expertly guided by Balazs. He is a top driver with expert knowledge of Hungary and key locations to visit. The views that Balazs showed me were stunning.
The tour and tour guide - Mihály Tóth (Michael) was great!LightPacker826753
We were having a lot of fun with Michael to be our private tour guide to go to the Danube Bend. He was knowledgeable (was able to answer any questions asking by my husband), friendly with a lot of patients. He was also a talented mobile photographer and made this whole trip very fun. Photos below taken by him of this trip.
Very pleasant and informative tour with Christine as our Guideettorerambaldi2003
We took this very interesting and informative tour on December 27. It was a sheer delight to be guided by Christine who is very knowledgeable of the rich cultural heritage of her country. She was also extremely pleasant, patient and kind to us. We were a group of travellers ranging from age 16 to 80...
