Really you're paying for the bus ride there. The boat back required no ticket. Very little information provided on the bus ride over. Our tour guide did not seem comfortable and was low energy. The village itself is worth going to, lots of cute shops and great food!

This tour description seemed perfect for me as I had time constraints and a 4-hour trip seemed perfect.
I have visited Hungary a few times and I always wanted to visit Szentendre while I was in Budapest...it seemed convenient and perfect to leave the driving to someone else.
The tour was prompt and our Guide, Marta, was lovely.
The van was clean and okay but HOT!
I don't get bothered by the heat too much but my Husband felt sick from the temperature within the van as we waited for the rest of the tourists to arrive.
He was extremely uncomfortable as were other folks on this tour, who were fanning themselves.
We relayed this issue to the Guide and the Driver and while they did turn on the van's AC, it was minimal and did not help too much, sadly.
Guide Marta was sweet and pointed out sights during our drive to Szentendre.
her English was very good.
The tour description stated that this tour would be in English but it was quasi-bilingual.
While the majority of people on the tour were English-speaking, there were three Italian-speaking women.
Marta had to skip from English to Italian and it made the tour seem longer and less engaging because of this.
These Women also seemed to take up a lot of Marta's time and I felt they were overbearing and Marta had no choice but to cater to them. OH WELL!
Szentendre is lovely but VERY touristy.
Personally, I loved it for the photographic aspect.
My Husband was a bit bored as were a few other people in our group.
The Marzipan Museum was cool and interesting, but the "samples" given were much smaller than the size of half of a sugar cube.
I wasn't on this tour to eat marzipan, but don't make that a "selling point" of the tour!
All in all, it was okay and a nice short getaway from Budapest for a few hours.
I think I would need to research a bit more for the next time.

I felt that the guide was promoting products from the different shops. I did not feel like I learned anything on this tour.

The cruise we took during our vacation was a simply wonderful experience. Starting from the center of Budapest, we had the privilege of discovering the charming little village of Szentendre. The cruise went off without a hitch, offering magnificent views along the way. The picturesque landscapes along the Danube added a touch of magic to this getaway. The crew was professional and attentive to our needs, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. This cruise will remain engraved in our memories as one of the most enchanting moments of our vacation.

Worth the trip but it would have been better if trip were at least 1/2 - 1 hour longer. Difficult to follow guide who had to speak in two different languages, hard to hear in back of van, especially with a strong accent. Drive was nice.

Enjoyed the trip to Szentendre. On the way we passed the Roman ruins. The village is very colorful and full of artisans and other vendors. We shopped at Kovacs Blue dye store. This store was a quilter/sewer's delight. The hand worked fabrics are a rarety in the US. This was worth the trip from Budapest

After spending two days sightseeing in Budapest we decided to take this tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our day. Our guide was Stephen the tall man. He was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with.
The village is very quaint, with many lovely shops and restaurants. The boat ride back was a very pleasant experience. Would definitely recommend taking this tour.

We enjoyed a lovely couple of hours exploring the artists town and relaxing by the river
Our guide Dori was lovely and knowledgeable, the only minus was the sound system on.the bus, it was a little quiet.
