Hi, everyone, Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed our trip to Budapest by bus and cruise. It was really great! Between the walks, the landscapes, the good times shared and the laughs, everything came together to make for a great stay. Many thanks to those who organized it, and to the whole group for the great atmosphere. Honestly, it's great to be able to enjoy moments like this together! Can't wait for the next getaway!

Information on the bus understandable and good! Round trip was great! It was possible to get on and off at any time! We took a closer look at some attractive places worth seeing! Boat trip on the Danube came afterwards! Unfortunately we forgot to download the audio guide! The trip itself is short and crisp, but beautiful! Be there in good time before departure! So that you can sit at the top!
