Outstanding private tour of Esztergom and the countryside! Our driver and guide was extremely knowledgeable about the locations and best places to visit throughout the area. What made the experience truly special was how customized the day was to our interests and requests. The guide was happy to adjust the itinerary, explore additional spots, and accommodate anything we wanted to see along the way. The entire experience felt personal, professional, and tailored specifically for us rather than a standard tour. We never felt rushed and appreciated the flexibility and attention to detail throughout the day. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a more personalized and enjoyable experience in Hungary!
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted you enjoyed your private day trip to Esztergom, Szentendre, Visegrád, and the Hungarian countryside. It is especially rewarding to hear that the day felt personal, flexible, and tailored to your interests rather than like a standard tour. Our goal is always to provide a comfortable, insightful, and unhurried experience with thoughtful local knowledge along the way. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would be very happy to welcome you on another Europe Journey trip in the future.
We enjoyed our day to the countryside outside of Budapest. We scheduled for a Monday which meant several sites were closed. Be aware of this. Our driver Andy was fun and interesting. We liked seeing sites and other areas outside the big city. I would have enjoyed a little more history about each area since we’d never been to Hungary before. My husband liked the discussions with Andy about present day politics in Hungary. A good day overall.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re glad you enjoyed your day outside Budapest and that Andy made the trip fun and interesting. Thank you also for noting the Monday closures — that’s helpful feedback for future travelers. We’re happy you had a good day overall!
Atilla was our driver guide and was an exceptional host. It is january, 6 inches of snow, far from tour season but he did a great job accommodating the weather and our desires. He is very knowledgeable about Budapest and Hungarian history. We had excellent conversations! Atilla went out of his way to fulfill our expectations. We had a great day with Atilla

Oliver was punctual, spoke excellent English, very knowledgeable and adapted the tour to suit our day. The car was late model, spotlessly clean and Oliver is a polite and safe driver.
Hi, Alex. Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that Oliver made your tour enjoyable with his knowledge, flexibility, and safe driving. We’re also glad the car met your expectations. Your kind words mean a lot to us!
The locations were great.. but the driver was used to have a guide with him, so he wasn’t as informative as he could have been.
Hello, Charlene! Thank you for your feedback! We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the locations. As we advertise it, our drivers are not tour guides. They are able to share information about these places once you get there since they're familiar with them and they're knowledgeable about them. Your comments are very valuable to us, and we’ll take them into account so we can continue improving and ensure that future travelers are fully aware of this to meet the level of engagement and information our guests expect. Having a tour guide to get more detailed information is available for an additional fee, if travelers prefer to book it like that. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
