Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and the tour was very interesting and eye opening to the disparities the Jewish people faced.

We had to take a bus to get to Budapest. When we were dropped off at the castle, we went on our own and saw the city.

Bus driver was rude and the city had a very Eastern European feel to it. Did look pretty at night on the evening cruise.

Fantastic trip on the Danube, Main and Rhein!

Sail Date: April 2019

Great city. We got there a day early and stayed in the Intercontinental, which I highly recommend. We took our own tour to the castle area, which I wish Avalon would do instead of Hero’s Square.

We could hardly understand Susan. 5 minutes into the walking tour her quiet box died making it even more hard to hear her. In the church we stood instead of being seated because she didn't want to disturb her colleagues. What about
