Budapest Explorer Tour Reviews
Guest reviews from travelers on Explorer tours in and around Budapest
Jennifer Zu | Traveled in July
Loved the whole trip. The itinerary had a lovely balance, loved the small towns and small businesses, local food. Our tour guide and driver were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Our fellow travellers were great company. Would happily do another Blue-Roads Tour.
Paul Fa | Traveled in May
A very interesting and enjoyable trip. We had no idea how pretty Poland is. Our guide was great and the driver very skilled. It was great to get off the main highways and also to stay right in the middle of the old towns.
Linda Ll | Traveled in May
Fabulous way to see Eastern European countries, with an expert guide who spoke Hungarian, Slovakian, Polish and Czech. We heard and experienced so much of the history and culture of those countries. Loved the extras we did, like wine tasting in the wine growing district, cooking traditional Polish food, visiting an authentic, ‘living’, traditional Hungarian village, the amazing guided tours of the towns and cities we visited… as well as the other visitor experiences offered. Small group of like minded travellers made it a lot of fun too.

Interesting tour, gave insights of authentic lifestyles and attractions from salt mines to riding a venicular to the top of the mountains. All hotels were really comfortable and wonderful locations in the centre of villages. Auschwitz was a must visit and I got to lay a wreath for the Aussies in respect for them. It was a truly moving experience. Tour guide Kinga was lovely and coach driver was also very respectful and careful as he drove us through 4 countries.
Lynda R | Traveled in May
Flavia and Livan made what would have ordinarily been “great trips” into AMAZING TRIPS. They were both so pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. Nothing was ever a trouble for them. I have been on many G Adventure trips, and I will continue to travel with G due to the continuous good experiences I continue to have. Thank you Flavia and Livan.
Anonymous | Traveled in November
Our tour guide Kinga was exceptional and we learnt so much about the culture and history of each country we travelled through. The accommodation was very comfortable as was the bus in which we travelled each day. The walking tour guides were passionate about their towns and taught us so much not only of the politics but of important individuals who lived there.
