Danube Bend Private Tour: Artsy Szentendre & Scenic Visegrád
Description
The Danube river Bend region is a unique, very beautiful part of Hungary. If you like nature and art, this tour is for you. We pick you up at your place, and we take you back there (or somewhere else in the city, if you prefer.) Since this is a private tour, we will focus on what you are interested in. Tell us you preferences to help us make this perfect. The duration is about 5 hours plus lunch (if you want to have lunch). Lunch takes usually about 1 hour. So if we start at 9 AM, we are usually back at about 3 PM (if we start at 9), but if you want to be back sooner, that is also possible. We visit Szentendre and Visegrad, too truly unique cities. Would you like a different starting time than the ones offered? Book and let us know.

The guide/driver, Balazs, was awesome!! He was knowledgable about the region, country, and culture. He was very open and generous about sharing information. Balazs went the extra mile to make it an amazing experience for us. I gave a 3 star rating because the vehicle used to drive us around was very uncomfortable. The leg room for both the back and the front seats was insufficient and ended up being painful for the knees. Also basics, such as a bottle of water for each person, should have been offered at the onset of the tour.
Thank you for your honest feedback and for your very kind words about Balázs. We’re glad he made the day informative, personal, and memorable for you. We’re sorry to hear the vehicle was not comfortable for you. Guest comfort is very important to us, and we will take this feedback into account when choosing the most suitable vehicle for each tour. Thank you for helping us improve the experience.
Absolutely wonderful ! We did a private tour , 4 of us in our family. Our guide could not have been more fun, more accommodating and more knowledgeable. The castle was beautiful and the village was great. If you see something in the village you like , souvenir , Hungarian cultural items, buy it! We made a mistake and did not and never found it in Budapest. Our guide was so wonderful that he even drove us around to find the best cell reception because my son needed to be on a video call to select his college room. Communication about anything was super easy ! Very quick and responsive. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Simona! 😊 It was a pleasure spending the day with your family. And thank you for mentioning Szentendre's handmade souvenirs—they really are some of the most unique keepsakes visitors can take home from Hungary.
I just wanted to write a review for Edina she was so knowledgeable, and a very caring and helpful person throughout my tour! I learned so much from her. She has such passion for guiding group tours!
Thank you so much for your kind review! 😊 We are happy that Edina's passion made your tour such a memorable experience.
We had a great tour today with Edina. She met us off our cruise ship and helped us access our BNB apartment at the end of tour. She was knowledgeable and friendly with excellent English. The tour content was good and we had a very enjoyable time. Thank you again!
Thank you, Pam, for your lovely review! 😊 We're so pleased Edina could help make your day smooth from the moment you left your cruise ship until you reached your apartment. Wishing you many more memorable adventures wherever your travels take you!
Attila picked us up at 9 AM as scheduled, even though our hotel had been changed due to a championship soccer match and associated traffic issues such as street closures. Our early stop at Szentendre was a real plus for our tour with Attila as it gave us a good opportunity for us to experience the overall art colony ahead of the day’s crowds while Attila expertly guided us thru the extensive shop offerings. Attila continued his extensive commentary about the villages we passed through as well as the Danube and associated events as we drove to Visegrad. Visegrad itself is an impressive historical site with a commanding view of the Danube, and Attila accompanied us on the climb to the castle/fort from the parking lot, providing additional information along the way and answering our questions. We then returned to Szentendre for lunch and last minute shopping before returning to Budapest at 3 PM. Overall an excellent, highly recommended trip!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! 😊We're delighted you enjoyed the history, the scenery, and the relaxed pace of the day. And yes, Szentendre is the best place in Hungary to find unique souvenirs and handmade works by local artists—a special memory to take home.
Your to Danube bend and towns of Visebrad and Szentendre was excellent. Tour guide, Balazs was on time, very friendly, very informative and overall was excellent.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! 😊 Balázs loves sharing the places he calls home, and we're delighted that his enthusiasm helped make your visit memorable. We hope the memories of Visegrád and Szentendre stay with you for many years to come!
We had a great day with Otti (?sp). He is funny, personable, knowledgeable, and flexible to your schedule/interests.
