Had a great time! Paid a little extra for hotel pickup which was totally worth it. Was well organized and the guide did a good job keeping us informed. The palace is beautiful of course and we didn’t feel rushed at all. Our guide split her time between English and German and I think it would have been better to have one dedicated person per language since there were long waits in between when she switched and we didn’t all get all the same facts and she was more comfortable speaking German. The guide did a great job though as switching back and forth would be difficult. Definitely book this tour as it was nice to get out of the city and see a little more of Hungary and to learn why Queen Sisi was so important to the Hungarians.

Bella esperienza e tempo ben utilizzato!!! Guida brava ma poteva essere più preparata. Insieme a noi c'era una coppia di tedeschi e la guida che li ha seguiti sembrava raccontasse più cose e si soffermasse di più su quello che mostrava ai visitatori.

Belle visite du château de Sissi. Nous avons eu un super guide nommé Attila qui était très bienveillant et plein d’humour pendant la visite. Par contre, je vous déconseille fortement la prise en charge depuis l’hôtel. Le chauffeur a été extrêmement désagréable avec une conduite très folklorique dirons-nous. Si vous vous trouvez dans un hôtel en centre-ville de Budapest, il est préférable de vous rendre au point de rendez-vous par vos propres moyens. Étant donné que le car stationne près de l’hôtel casino.
