"It was WAY more than we expected! Our guides were fabulous...every detail was attended to...their knowledge of their country extraordinary, they were pleaseant, fun, accommodating, etc,etc,etc!! The bikes were comfortable and easy to ride...the mileage was pleasantly interrupted by sights of the country...museums, cathedrals, charming towns and back country roads. Not to mention the castles we stayed in, and the thermal waters we enjoyed! We would definitely book another tour."

"This posting will be brief as there is not much to say other than this was an absolutely wonderful trip. Certainly, the weather helped as it was sunny and warm each day of the excursion. I was told that this was unusual in that there is usually one or two days of slight rain but, I'll take all the luck I can get. The tour owners/guides, Peter and Marietta, have every detail sorted prior to guest arrival. They plan and provide three meals per day and their selection does not disappoint. The support van and bike trailer allow ample room for guests and luggage.
The bicycles are in excellent shape and ride comfortably. The accommodations are unique and comfortable - plenty of thought was placed in making the arrangements. Some hotels were better than others but all were clean, friendly, welcoming and well located. Both Peter and Marietta are "history nuts" and provide frequent, interesting facts about Hungary and the specific region within which you are cycling. The group was well taken care of and all needs met with near perfection. I highly recommend this company, this tour and plan to do another tour with Tradnatura in the near future."
