Fascinating day trip from Budapest - Full-day experience outside Budapest with a visit to Visegrad Castle high above the Danube, a short photo top in Slovakia, a visit to the largest simple Hungarian cathedral of Esztergom, an optional tasty lunch in Visegrad, a stroll through the artistic village of Szentendre with picturesque alleyways, and a boat ride back to Budapest.
This was all turned into a fulfilled day trip by the competent tour guide Vera, as well as the good car chauffeur, which will remain in our best memory. Thank you so much!

This tour was awesome! - We had a great time exploring the Danube Bend. The Esztergom Cathedral was amazing and the castle / citadel was also a win. We recommend doing this before touring Budapest as it lays a great foundation for the history there.

A day well spent in Budapest - Gyuri was our guide from Cityrama . He was knowledgeable, and enthusiastic and ensured our trip lasting for approximately 8 hours was exciting. He provided excellent commentary on the historical background of every place we visited and we enjoyed the trip.

Enjoyed our tour - Very pleasant full day outing.
Our guide Gyuri did a great job, explaining everything along the way. Since we were a small group he took us through smaller roads and saw great scenery. Nice boat ride back from Szentendre.

Getting outside Budapest - The guide was informative but the trip was in English and Spanish and the guide was more comfortable speaking in Spanish so there was not equal time between the 2 languages. Good overall day trip.

Excellent Tour and Guide but be aware of possible itinerary changes - Our tour guide, Vera, was excellent and inclusive - she seamlessly switched from Spanish to English, recounting interesting tales and information to our small group on the sites we visited.
The tour took us to interesting places; the Basciilica at Eszrtergom, the castle and views for Visegrad, and Szentendre where we stopped for a couple of hours. Vera was very good at taking us round the sites at each location. The optional self service lunch was acceptable and reasonably priced.
Aspects that were not so good were the fact that we were only told the boat trip would not run after the 24 hour cancellation period had expired (this was due to the high water level that had affected all river cruises for days beforehand) We would have liked more time at the castle or to walk round Esztergom.

Change the schedule - Judith was the guide.
The time spent in each place of interest was completely miscalculated.
Too short in visgrad castle. Too long in sentendre waiting for the boat back to budapest.

Do the trip on your own - The design of the trip was great
However our guide was terrible.
He was supposed to do his description in Spanish French and English but he never got the description timed right. He would start in Spanish see something say oh yes in English then continue in Spanish never describing things in French or English.
He did not seem to care either he just faced front and spent the majority of the time chatting with the driver.
When we stopped and got off the bus he would describe the instructions in Spanish and then wave his hands at us to go.
At the last stop I finally said we need directions and a time to meet and the he described what we needed to know.
I felt he was very dismissive and really almost upset any time someone asked a question.
And there were two occasions he had the wrong dates. I knew because I started googling information so I would know what we were seeing.
Seeing the cathedral castle and artist town was great but I would say skip his tour you would learn more on your own
