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.

Unforgettable Experience

My husband and I had a great experience with the very knowledgeable and kind guide, Emőke. We highly recommend visiting Vac, a unique, beautiful, smaller city in Hungary. Emőke made a huge difference in our visit. My husband is a history major and it was amazing how Emőke was discussing and clarifying topics with him. She also showed us all the practical shopping areas and interesting cafes. Thanks again, Emőke!
