Had a great time! Paid a little extra for hotel pickup which was totally worth it. Was well organized and the guide did a good job keeping us informed. The palace is beautiful of course and we didn’t feel rushed at all. Our guide split her time between English and German and I think it would have been better to have one dedicated person per language since there were long waits in between when she switched and we didn’t all get all the same facts and she was more comfortable speaking German. The guide did a great job though as switching back and forth would be difficult. Definitely book this tour as it was nice to get out of the city and see a little more of Hungary and to learn why Queen Sisi was so important to the Hungarians.
