Talked too much and didn’t listen to our requests. We learned a lot but got back 2 hours late. Wouldn’t recommend if you want a relaxing day out.
We are really sorry about your experience...hope, that was notm so much bad and you could enjoy some of Eger!
We took our own tour to Eger- enjoyed many of the caves and drank some fabulous red wines. Soltesz Egri Bikaver- bulls blood wine is a must try if you are here. Easy train ride and a fabulous town!
Great, thanks a lot!
Our tour guide, Tom, was informative, helpful, personable and so much fun. My family and I really enjoyed our day trip to Eger, it was the highlight of our family holiday to Hungary.
Thank you so much, we are really happy that you have enjoyed, and see you again in Hungary! Ildiko
George our guide was very informative and enthusiastic and a great sense of humour. He was very flexible for our needs too. We spent the morning in the beautiful Eger castle and fantastic afternoon doing the wine tasting....the St.Andrea winery was simply outstanding.
Thank you so much Your kind review! We are glad you enjoyed the tour!
Great wine tasting event in Eger! Thomas was an excellent guide! Saw many great aspects in town. Nimrod Kovacs winery had excellent wine tasting and tour of their winery.
Thank you so muc, we are happy you have enjoyed the tour!
If you want to see and experience something truly magnificent, you have to hike into the valley of beautiful women and go directly to the Juhász cellar. The vault is wonderful. The cellar is comfortably furnished, the staff are friendly, warm, funny and incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to wine... It was a treat! My birthday wish to travel there has been overachieved.... Of course, you can buy the wine you have tasted before... This is a “must”, so to speak.... Thanks and see you next time! Viszont látásra!
Thanks a lot for your kind words! Viszontlátásra unbedingt!
