Day out to the Danube bends from Budapest - Excellent day out to the Danube bends by mini bus from Budapest. Stopped at Esztergom, Visegrad and Szentendre. Returned to Budapest by boat, although that’s not every day.

The trip description did... - The trip description did not match the itinerary. There wasn’t a boat trip. We were advised that the boat would continue through September. In actuality it doesn’t operate on Mondays. So no boat trip. We were dropped off at a different location than where we started. And the Grayline bus air conditioning wasn’t working. Very hot and uncomfortable.

A tour that needs a makeover - The EUrama tour started poorly with a vehicle that used the extra seating normally folded away in the luggage area. These seats (more suited to young children) were totally inadequate and uncomfortable for adults let alone for the aged. There was no leg room, the accessibility required gymnastics skill that 70 year olds do not possess. My arthritic wife could not sit with suitable back support. Perhaps all passengers need to be questioned about seating requirements before being allowed on the bus. Better still don’t use the extra seating. Another issue was the poor visibility from extra seating seats. We had access to barely a third of the window space of the other passengers from only one side. The lunch was tasteless and overcooked. Desert however was a delight. Only water was offered with the meal. The basilica is under renovation and very little could be seen. No information was given about the renovations before the trip. There was a distinct smell of concrete dust in the air. No medical warning was given. Perhaps a better use of time would be to provide adequate browsing time in Szentendre. The artist village was quaint and worth more than the cursory glance that it received. Our tour guide was great and was very knowledgeable helpful.

Do not book! - This was an awful experience: bus broke down. No washrooms. Lunch at 4:00 pm , guide spoke mainly Spanish, description of excursion was not as depicted. It was a total waste of time and money. The cathedral was under construction and we were not advised in advance. Definitely a do not book in my opinion.

Don't do it - The guide was rude from the start. Had zero desire to answer any basic questions. We didn't even get her name. She had no empathy for my father who was slower because he uses a cane. They did no preplanning around getting out of the city, even though the bike race had been scheduled for months so they should've known about that. They advertised going to the church, but the entire inside was filled with scaffolding for the last two years and they didn't tell us that. At the first stop she didn't even wait for my family to get up to the line to get entrance so we had to argue with the guard that we were actually with the tour that went through. She just didn't care.Then, at the church instead of telling us where to go, which did not need a ticket for entrance, we had to wait 15 minutes for her to get into an elevator to come to the top to tell us we didn't need a ticket. Next, It was supposed to be English and Spanish, but it was clearly Spanish first and with more detail. She was disrespectful at times. And I've been on a lot of Viator tours, more than many people. This woman was terrible and she made a bad trip worse. I would definitely avoid this trip with this female guide.
