Danube Bend, day trip from Budapest. - Excellent day trip. Our guide Matheus switched effortlessly between English & Spanish to give us a full history of Hungary & the towns we were visiting. We had sufficient time at each stop for sightseeing. I can definitely recommend this tour.

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.

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.
