Budapest Tours in January 2026

Traveled with my 2 daughters and we all fell in love with the countries we experienced on this tour. This was our 2nd Expat tour and all 3 of us agreed the train travel was so much better than the coach travel. Justin was our tour lead and he was outstanding!! Extremely knowledgeable about all the places we visited. He always have great recommendations about where to go on free time, where to eat, things to look for and how to feel safe and comfortable at all times.

1st time doing a group tour with expat explore and it didn't disappoint. Our tour guide Justin was really good and was very knowledgeable of Prague, Vienna, Slovakia and Budapest. Prague is just an amazing place to visit, I recommend all the optional excursions with the exception of the folklore show. Vienna is a great place, the food is incredible. Bratislava proved to be a charming day tour so don't skip it! Budapest exceeded all expectations and the overall vibe / style reminded me of NYC (in the mid 90's) and very safe. Whatever you do it seems that the heart of the nighlife is right in the Jewish quarter so don't pass on it.

We had such a great time on this trip. I wasn't sure what to expect as I hadn't traveled through this tour company before. It exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Jan was fabulous. He was super knowledgeable not only about the route and biking but about every city we were in. I didn't realize we'd be getting guided tours (by Jan) in many of our stops. If he didn't know an answer to a question asked (which was rare) he made sure to find out for us. He also made sure we were well taken care of on the ride. As a newer biker I appreciated that he made sure we all knew the route, that there were breaks and that we were safe and had fun. As American's we loved the diversity of people in our group. Many Britts and people from other parts of the world as well. Made for really interesting conversations. Looking forward to our next trip with this tour operator.

This has turned out to be one of my favourite trips with the tour operator. Packed with beautiful scenery, fascinating history and varied riding to suit everyone, it's a real treat. Jan, our guide - supported by the ever-smiling Hynek and Lubos - made everything run brilliantly and created a really fun trip for us.

This was my 12th holiday with this tour company (my 9th cycle tour) and one of the best, so it is not often I feel that I wish to write a review, so here goes ! This tour is a great way to see four countries and four capital cities of central Europe, all in just 10 days. Our group comprised a friendly bunch - a mix of English, Australian & Americans and with me, the token Scot of the group !We were lead by a very professional team of Dana along with Hynek and driver Lubos.

A fantastic tour which was very well organised from start to end. It was a tight tour but given the number of destinations included, it couldn't have been sliced any better. Tour leader was friendly and knowledgeable too. Only gripe we have is that we were a couple but we're provided rooms with separate beds. Something that should be a consideration when booking accomodations. But overall, thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We went to places offering local cousines which were all delightful. Will certainly travel again with Expat.
