LUXURY HOLIDAYS & TOURS HUNGARY

DIVERSE & SURPRISING

Hungary is both diverse and surprising. Prepare to be delighted – by a land of spas, and 22 different wine regions, beautiful lakes, amazing folk festivals, grand palaces, ancient castles, rural traditions and even a capital city with two different faces.

The Debrecen Flower Festival will enchant you. The rural scenes will take you back to the time of horse-drawn agriculture. Lake Balaton will take your breath away. Even Hungary’s capital city has two different facets.

Divided by a beautiful sweep of the majestic River Danube, Budapest is one of the most fascinating capitals in all of central Europe. And a guided tour in the company of Tour Leader Marie-Therese Hill is the perfect way to experience its hidden gems as well as its famous sights.

In Pest, for example, you’ll be escorted around the statues of Hungary’s kings and mighty Magyar warriors, before being shown the treasures of the neo-classical Museum of Fine Arts. You’ll walk along open boulevards, lunch in fine restaurants, visit the riverside parliament buildings and be guided around the wonders of the massive St Stephen’s basilica.

Then it’s time to cross the Chain Bridge – itself an unrivalled photo opportunity – into Buda. The funicular railway lifts you up to Buda Palace, where your escorted tour takes you deep underground to explore the rarely visited vaulted chambers and medieval remains of the old castle – a prelude to discovering Buda’s 1000 year history.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”
I’ve been on several small group holidays with The Ultimate Travel Company and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.
