  • Quality
    This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities.

    Budapest

    Arrive Budapest, Hungary

    Arrive in Budapest, where you are met and transferred to your hotel. In 1872, the three Hungarian settlements of Obuda, Pest and Buda merged as one, and the illustrious capital of Budapest was born. Following its unification, Budapest underwent rapid growth and expanded its political sphere, setting the stage for the city's golden age. Tonight, join fellow guests and your Resident Tour Director for a welcome dinner.

    Budapest - Two Cities in One

    See Buda's cobbled streets and Pest's 19th-century buildings. Throughout the course of your tour, admire Matthias Church; Fisherman's Bastion, oddly more decorative than defensive; St. Stephen's Basilica, which stands just as tall as the Parliament Building to symbolize the balance of church and state; and the Parliament Building itself, an impressive example of neo-gothic architecture. Enjoy a private cooking class, which includes lunch and hands-on strudel-making, and visit the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music, founded in 1875 by piano virtuoso Franz Liszt. Then, leave Budapest to explore the charming village of Szentendre, noted for its artisanal shops and fine galleries. Afterward, rejoin your ship at Esztergom.
