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.

Our guide Sofia was very friendly and with excellent knowledge of Hugarian history. When we wnt to excursion the weather was terrible but she made our trip warm and pleasant!
