Hungary and Romania Tours and Trips

It was great trip. Since the area this trip covered have very rich deep culture, histories, etc. it was a lot to see, in some way, we were overwhelmed because of it. but nonetheless, it was great!

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Transylvania. The itinerary was packed with interesting things to do, so the trip felt longer than the few days it actually was. The only downside was that, despite our tour leader's best efforts to contact the ranger, we were unable fit in a second bear visit. We were lucky to have a fantastic group who bonded really well, and Rux, our tour leader was outstanding. One point of feedback is that it would have been useful to know in advance (ie. in the pre-tour info) roughly how much local currency we needed to take for tips, splitting meal bills, etc. We did the tour after it being recommended by a friend and we'll definitely be recommending it to our friends too!

Itinerary is excellent, fast paced but comprehensive. An extra night in Cesky Krumlov to unwind would have been nice since it is such a beautiful spot. With the exception of Prague, hotels were very good and centrally located so you can walk easily to shops and restaurants. The welcome dinner in Budapest was wonderful, food and venue, as well as the hotel. Above all, our tour director, was the icing on the cake.

The itinerary is varied providing opportunities to learn of the past and to enjoy fun-filled cultural experiemces. The itinery is both demanding covering .many miles and learning of the painful experiences of the past and relaxing with road trips.

It includes art, culture, and lots of history. I especially enjoyed the piano concert at the Chopin school in Krakow, Poland, and the orchestra concert and Viennese waltz class in Vienna.

Accommodation and itinerary were as described. Our Tour Leader was exceptional in all aspects of her job, keeping us informed, entertained and pandering to the needs of challenging group members.
