View Profile

Greg Tepper founded Russiatours, Inc. (later renamed Exeter International) in 1992 in order to provide travelers a new way to visit Central and Eastern Europe and Russia. With the Iron Curtain gone, a totally new approach to travel in Eastern Europe was now possible: luxury, customized travel. The mandatory depressing hotels and horrible restaurants of those autocratic itineraries are now past; replaced by stunning five-star hotels, beautifully renovated properties, and personally tailored trips to once inconvenient destinations. Exeter International has been helping travelers enjoy these regions since 1992, and has established itself as the leading deluxe tour operator to Central and Eastern Europe and Russia.

Accommodation

,Four Seasons Gresham Palace One (1) Superior Room for Three (3) nights; Tax and Buffet Breakfast included daily. The Four Seasons Gresham Palace is the product of a painstaking 110 million Euro restoration and is now the most opulent hotel in all of Budapest. The hotel, which opened its doors on June 18, 2004, is housed in a historic landmark palace on the banks of the Danube River and has lived a rich history entertaining celebrities as they pass through Budapest. This is a “destination hotel” of historical significance. This 179room hotel was badly damaged in WW II when the Germans detonated the Chain Bridge in front of the building. However, thanks to the work of numerous artists, masons, and talented metal workers, today guests may once again enjoy what has always been Budapest’s most prestigious address. This is simply, without question, the finest hotel in the city. All guestrooms offer very spacious accommodations, featuring marble bathrooms that include a deep soaking tub, separate glass-walled shower and large vanity mirror. Most offer the WC in a separate alcove with a third telephone. Rooms offer sumptuous down duvets and pillows. Superior Room: These are the starting category at this hotel. They all offer approximately 355 square feet of space and offer city or courtyard views.

This fantastic boutique hotel just opened in March of 2015 in a perfect location near St. Stephen’s Basilica. It borders a lovely pedestrian street leading right to the Danube. Elegant Andrassy Avenue is a few steps away. The hotel features a music theme that is interwoven into all aspects of the hotel, including the décor, room themes and more. The hotel is made up of four wings, each with its own style of décor. Overall, the décor is contemporary and makes use of vibrant colors. Rooms may either have a view of the city or the hotel’s interior garden. The hotel has a fine dining restaurant, Stradivari, as well as a Jazz bar. Its best feature is its unique rooftop bar and lounge. All guests of the Aria have complimentary WiFi, complimentary afternoon wine and cheese reception, complimentary bottled spring water in the rooms, turndown service with fine chocolates and access to the spa and multi-media library. Luxury Room: Luxury rooms offer approximately 350 - 365 square feet of space. They include a private open air balcony with view overlooking the beautiful Music Garden Courtyard.
