Well worth the money.Our trip was on a public holiday(26 December 2022) so many of the smaller stores in Szentendre were closed, but we were still able to explore the town and Marzipan museum(skipping the long tourist que ) and enjoy traditional cakes at the local coffee shop.Andras was a very informative guide, with excellent advice on other local attractions in Budapest. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want to escape the crowds in Budapest, and experience small town living.

Drive was Beautiful!

The drive to Szentendre and Visegard was beautiful as well as informative! Obuda interesting. Aquinum just a drive by. Our guide Andrew was excellent!!! Very informative, interesting and his English very easy to understand. We would highly recommend Andrew (and already have to other tourist here now) as well as this tour.
