September 28, 2021 Mollie Coke

Over 15 million gallons of water bubble daily into Budapest's 118 springs and boreholes. The city of spas offers an astounding array of baths, from the sparkling Gellert Baths to the vast 1913 neo-baroque Szechenyi Spa to Rudas Spa, a dramatic 16th-century Turkish pool with original Ottoman architecture. The "Queen of the Danube" is also steeped in history, culture and natural beauty. Get your camera ready for the Roman ruins of the Aquincum Museum, Heroes' Square and Statue Park, and the 300-foot dome of St. Stephen's Basilica.

We spent a week in Budapest and began in the best way possible-- with 3 days of guided tours by the wonderful women of Budapest Locals! Anita took excellent care of our needs while we were still in the U.S. She helped us to set up our tours and times in the most kind and efficient manner. Once we arrived in Budapest, we spent our time with Barbi and Kinga. We ate, we learned, we laughed and we came away with a great appreciation of Hungary and its history and a love for the kind Hungarians who introduced us to their beautiful city. I highly recommend a tour, short or long, with Budapest Locals whenever you come to Budapest!

Seeing just Budapest in Hungary is not the wisest thing to do.  Lake Balaton is the essence of Hungarian rural beauty. Hungary's version of Provance. And our favourite region in Hungary. You will enjoy stunning views, tiny villages with century-old whitewashed houses, amazing formations of nature. Balaton Uplands has been chosen by Mastercard users one of the Top 15 Hidden Treasures travel destinations of Europe. The 10 hour tour is filled with beauties of nature, interesting history and very good wine! The beauty of the nature, the great gastronomy, the fresh wines, the charme of the villages and the historical and architectural heritage of the region are all good reasons to make a visit here

Inclusions: All taxes, fees and handling charges, Local taxes, All activities, Driver/guide, Live commentary on board, Professional guide, Hotel/port pickup and drop-off, Private tour, Transport by private vehicle, Fuel surcharge, Landing and facility fees

Exclusions: Food and drinks, wine tasting (appr. eur 25/person), additional entrance fees in case they apply (if we visit the Balaton Uplands National Park, we discuss this on the tour day, this depends on weather and if you want this), Gratuities
