Hungary Cultural, religious and historic sites Trips

I was on Balkans Escape with Tom. He was incredible and I would highly recommend as a tour manager! Also the Coach Driver was so friendly and made me feel safe! As for the tour, would highly recommend for anyone who wants to travel to places unlike any else. Budapest, Zadar, Split, Dubrovnik, Ston Ljubljana and ALL the others…each town/city was unique and beautiful! arranged for us to do an incredible wine tasting experience in Radovljica which I would recommend to be added as a Free Time Add-On

We really enjoyed the rafting trip and the hike in the High Tatra Mountains. We liked the mix of nature and smaller cities but also enjoyed Krakow and think more time there might be warranted. Our tour guide, Barbora, was outstanding and very focused on making sure we enjoyed our vacation. Our only negative comment is that the accomodations were as expected but continue to be less than we would prefer.

This was my first European trip and it exceeded all my expectations. The side trips were all worthwhile and, although I thought from the descriptions you had to choose between multiple options, they were all available so we didn't miss out on anything. Our tour guide was excellent, knowledgeable, and really took care of everyone. The hotels were in fantastic locations and the restaurant meals were special. Our bus driver was top notch and the seating very comfortable. The tour itself was the right amount of time in each location to feel like you knew and experienced the city enough to perhaps return to a special place on another tour or even on your own. There was always time for shopping or exploring after the optional experiences because the trip was so well timed. I felt immersed and touristy at the same time, which is exactly what I wanted.

Barbora our Explore Leader was great. She had masses of knowledge, remained very calm and had a good sense of humour. Her English was excellent and she was very aware of everyone’s needs. We were very fortunate to have her.

I loved this trip – I learned so much about the Balkans and felt really immersed in the countries and local cultures. The accommodation, food and activities were brilliant but the highlight was our expert Trip Manager who ensured everything ran smoothly!

Great cities. over night was a special and unexpected treat. Great castle tour. Budapest music school tour was good. So special that they opened just for Insight. Early Schonbrunn tour was worth the early wake up. was great about letting us have later morning departures when possible.
