    Places we went to were nice. Trip was organized. However, the guide would benefit from learning how to become more exciting. Youtube /Internet is full of good suggestions. Also more clarification is required on program of the day, and what each place would offer. We figured things on our own.

    We was a little group. Even time was not so frendly our guide Gyuri make us to feel very well; he was not only a perfect profesional but also a very kind and warm person. All 3 villages are in category "must to see", full of history. Since we were on Christmas days every place was special, relaxant and joyfull.

    Great chance to see historic sites outside of Budapest

    I totally enjoyed this trip. It was well organized and the guide was extremely knowledgeable. As with any group tour, it is a challenge to balance the time for individual exploring and the need for the group to move on. I felt I had enough time to explore the towns, but wished I had more time at the large church. If you want to go to the top of it, then don't delay, don't buy admission to anything else, and make sure you are in good shape! Oh, and the lunch was delicious.
