Visit in Szentendre (Living Heritage)

Wonderful, personalized day trip to Szentendre

We had a wonderful experience on this tour! It ended up being a very intimate tour with just our family and our guide, which made the whole day feel very personal. The meeting point was easy to find, and everything was well organized from the start. We took the train to Szentendre, and our guide even told us where to sit to get the best views along the way. When he learned that my husband is Serbian, he tailored some of the history to us and shared more about Szentendre’s Serbian heritage and the large Serbian community that once lived there. He and my husband talked about history throughout the train ride, which my husband really enjoyed. Once in Szentendre, our guide walked us through the town and showed us many of the highlights while explaining the history behind them. We visited the riverfront, saw the oldest church in town, and learned about the Serbian cathedral and other reminders of the town’s Serbian history. He also showed us a Serbian restaurant, where we stopped to take our group photo. One of the highlights was getting to try authentic Hungarian street food (langos), which was delicious! After the guided portion, we had about an hour of free time to explore on our own, with very clear instructions about where and when to meet afterward. Overall, this was a fantastic way to experience Szentendre. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, personable, and attentive, and he did a great job of adapting the tour to our family and our interests. The day felt full without ever feeling rushed. We learned a lot, had plenty of time to enjoy the town, and really enjoyed the entire experience. Highly recommended!

Private Szentendre & Vác Day Trip from Budapest

Pricey, and Szentendre the least interesting day of our day

Overall an enjoyable day. Peter, the host, guide and driver, arrived at the hotel early for pickup. We were a party of 4 and his smaller car was barely enough room for us all. The highlight of the tour was the unknown and unassuming town of Vac. Beautiful, quiet, clean and untouristed. The visit to Szentendre was less interesting because the main street that we visited was very touristy with various craftspeople making and trying to sell a variety of items. Peter has strong religious and political views, which came out in conversation. His point of view was interesting, but he mistook a bit of interest and curiosity on our part as an invitation to take us to his church. There was a nice view of the village and the river from the tower, but we were at the church for about an hour, which was too long on a tour described as a visit to local cities. The price of tours in this area is high, but I didn't feel that the content of the tour warranted a price of $150+/- per person. If you enjoy the human interaction, he will show you a good time. If you want to save significant money, you can take the train from Budapest to Szentendre and wander on your own or download an audio walking tour.

Half Day Guided Private Tour in Szentendre

It was a wonderful...

It was a wonderful experience. It was great to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city. Our guide, Andy, was amazing. Very knowledgeable and caring. We did not feel rushed and were able to enjoy the experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get out of the city for half a day.
