What travelers are saying

"I would steer clear of Backroads until Covid is over. We were on the Costa Rica tour when a fellow traveler tested positive. The guides refused to require that all travelers and staff wear masks or be tested. They kept repeating that they were following CDC guidelines, but this was not the case. CDC guidelines state that after an exposure, one should wear a tight fitting mask for 10 days when interacting with anyone and should be tested starting 5 days after exposure. Our group of six was appalled by their policy and left the tour returning to the US. Also be aware that their biking equipment was very substandard. We were riding in the rain with bikes that were difficult to stop on steep slopes, as they were not equipped with disc brakes. They also were not equipped with mirrors or lights. The front derailleurs were also very poorly adjusted as most of the riders threw their chains during the ride. Meals and the hotel were very good. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/quarantine-isolation.html Two calls to Backroads have not been returned."

"Hello , first there is no airport transfer at all as they mentioned in the trip program , no one waited us at the airport as they mentioned that we should provide them with the flight schedule but unfortunately they neglected this service for arrivals and for departures as well , the level of the hotel in Lyon is under expected maybe 2 stars , the hotels are somewhat away from the city center which makes the transportation for the clients cost more and waste of time , the guide was very quick in her steps without even looking at the families and children and not being able to follow her . Rather , she was even quick to finish the designated program , such as presenting a program that was supposed to be for tomorrow and presenting it without justification , making one day crowded with her program and the second day on the contrary i.e there may be only one visit as it happened in changing visiting Eifel tower although it was late afternoon and the line was so crowded that took around 2 hours waited in line in order to gets tickets for the whole group while it was supposed to be on the 2nd day with scène river cruise , the stoppage in some cities as Geneva needs more than only 2 hours time while stoppage in between the cities in the rural area needs less than that time gave it to us .no flexibility in changing the program after booking even for a more advanced and valued trips ( changing not cancelling ) , it must be a meeting prepared for the group in a lobby of the hotel the night before or even if 1 hour before getting into the buses as a type of acquaintance and introduction between the members of the group ."

Hungary Tour Selection Trips

  • Hungarians have a very strong connection to their past, even when it’s not personally remembered. A common phrase is “more was lost in Mohacs.” Meaning that a battle in the 1500’s, in which a severe defeat was suffered, was more significant than what might be going wrong in your life today
  • The city of Budapest was modeled after Paris’ city planning, and is very easy to navigate
  • You are visiting a country in Central Europe. Not Eastern Europe. Many still vividly remember harsh times under communism and the term “Eastern” is not favorable
  • Budapest is a great base to have as there are a number of day trips well worth doing. Statue Park, the town of Szentendre, even wine country are all within a few hours from the city.
  • As with most trips, it’s worth learning a few basic words and phrases. In Hungarian, the word for “hello” is “szia” (plural is "sziasztok") and thank you is “koszonom.” There is no actual one word for “please” in the Hungarian language. The closest in translation is “Kerem,” but you will more commonly hear “Tessek.”

Additional details

Where is Hungary? 

Hungary is a Central European country sharing its borders with many Eastern and Central European countries including Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia. Due to Hungary’s central location, you can see influences from all of these countries throughout Hungary. 

What is the Weather Like in Hungary? 

Hungary is home to a typical four-season climate. Summers in Hungary are dry and on average between 75 and 85 degrees. The summers can be humid so watch out for an occasional thunderstorm during the late afternoon. 

The spring and fall see more rain and cooler temperatures. The weather during the winter in Hungary depends on where you are. In the mountains, you can see some snow and face strong winds called bora. In the cities, you may see less snow but the temperatures can still be very cold. 

What to Pack for Hungary

Similar to other Central European such as Austria and Slovakia, what time of the year you are visiting will dictate what you put in your suitcase. During the summer, make sure to bring plenty of shorts, tank tops, and hats. The Hungarian sun can get warm so make sure to pack some sunscreen. 

If you’re visiting during the shoulder seasons, layers are the best. Packing a rainjacket, sweaters, and pants will best protect you from those rainy days and strong winds. Budapest is a great place to visit during the winter to experience the Christmas Markets. When visiting during the winter make sure to pack warm clothes, scarves, and hats to keep you warm when you are looking for that mulled wine. 

Another essential piece of clothing you shouldn’t forget when visiting Hungary is a bathing suit, no matter the season. Yes, you can wear a swimsuit in Budapest in January! Budapest is built on hot springs and many of the bathhouses are open year-round for you to relax.  

What is the Currency in Hungary? 

Hungary uses the Forint (HUF). You will find that some places do accept the Euro, but it’s best to stick with the Forint as it is easier and may seem rude if you use another currency. 

You’ll be able to find plenty of ATMs in Budapest and the other major cities around Hungary. Most restaurants and stores take a card. If you visit the Grand Market in Budapest, it’s best to bring along some cash as some stands may not take a card. 

Getting Around Budapest

Budapest is at the center of Hungarian life. Most tours of Hungary will start and end in Budapest. This means you need to know how to get around this city that is bisected by the Danube River

Budapest is a large city; however, you can easily get around by walking. There are plenty of tree-lined streets to protect you from the sun and many of the sites are located near each other If you are traveling a long distance you can hop on continental Europe’s oldest metro or take one of the many above-ground trams. 

Be very wary of taxis in Budapest. There have been issues with taxi drivers overcharging tourists. When hailing a cab on the street double-check the company or even better, call a reputable taxi company for a pickup. Uber was banned from Budapest, but there are one or two other mobile app options you may be able to find. 

Common Phrases in Hungarian 

Hungarian is one of the hardest languages for English-speakers to pick up. Magyar (the actual term for the language spoken in Hungary) is completely different than the languages spoken in the surrounding countries. Magyar is a Finno-Ugric language which means it is a combination of some Asian dialects along with Finnish and Estonian languages. 

There are 44 letters in the alphabet, 14 of which are vowels. To make things even more difficult some letters are a combination of 2-3 letters. Hungarian also has some extreme formation rules you will need to pay attention to. While this seems quite daunting, there are some phrases you can remember to get you by during your visit: 

  • Szia/Sziasztok (see-ya/see-ya-stock) - hello (to one person); hello (multiple people)
  • Jo napot (yoh nah-poht) - Good day or good morning
  • Viszontlatasra (vee-sont-lah-tash-rah) - Good bye
  • Igen (eeghen) - Yes
  • Nem (nehm) - No
  • Koszonom (kew-sew-newm) - Thank you
  • Hogy vagy? (hodj vodj) - How are you?
