A wonderful trip to see life in Hungary outside the big city. Kecskemet was a small city with interesting sights and warm people. Puszta was a farm with amazing horses and skilled riders. The meal at the farm was outstanding. This trip well surpassed our expectations.

This was a very worthwhile side tour to the country to have made on our visit to Budapest. We would do it again.

Really enjoyed this day trip. The company sent a taxi to pick us up at our hotel and take us to the bus. Bus was comfortable and not over-crowded. Tour was conducted in English, Italian, and German, so kudos to the guide. The tour went south into the countryside to the city of Kecskemet, which has a very nice, open city plaza that includes the city hall, churches of four different religions - Roman Catholic, Calvinist, Greek Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox, plus what used to be a Jewish Synagogue which is not in use anymore as few of the Jews remained/survived World War II. I noticed the Hungarian flag flying on the City Hall had a huge hole in the middle. The guide explained that during the Soviet occupation, they put a communist crest in the middle of the Hungarian flag. In the 1990 rebellion, the freedom fighters cut the crest out of the flag, and many Hungarians still fly the fly with the hole in the middle to remind them of what they went through. Our other visit was to Tanyancsarda, an equestrian center/restaurant near the town of Lajosmizse. We were met on the road by one of the csikos riders on horseback who led the bus to the greeting station where we received a welcome drink of apricot brandy. We were taken on a horse-drawn cart to see the fields and stables. Then, there various demonstrations. I like the csikos chasing horses around a large pen, providing photographs fully worthy of a Marlboro Country ad. There were demonstrations of horsemanship, Lippizaners, and various contests. Visitors were invited to try their hand at using the whips favored by the csikos. We were given the opportunity to visit the stables, featuring the Lippizaners, racka sheep and Hungarian Grays cattle. Lunch was very well done and accompanied by roving 'gypsy' musicians. A very enjoyable day.

A wonderful day full of adventures. A great drive through the countryside. The horse show was excellent and well organized. The lunch was very tasty. We visited several historical towns. The guide was knowledgeable and was aware of everyone's ability to walk. Both the guide and the driver were very helpful and attentive of our needs. Overall, a great experience!

While a pleasurable experience in the plains south of Budapest, this tour gave us only a very short time in Kecskemét visiting the main square. Maybe this was due to our late departure. _br/_ The horses, including Lipizaners, were beautiful and well trained. The riders were skillful but appeared to lack the enthusiam expected of entertainers._br/_ The 3 course meal was copious and we were entertained by classical musicians during lunch. They were enthusiastic._br/_ A good introduction to the horse traditions of Hungary, but no x factor.

The Guide didn't tell us much, the ranch was very well kept and the cowboy show was very enjoyable along with an excellent meal and live music, the other activities that we participated in was super...bull whipping a bottle of wine off a fence competition and horse riding ..all great fun. What really upset me was the two mares pulling the wagon that we rode in were in foal, the chestnut looked almost full term, the harness banging against the clearly visible foal in her......especially hard when the wagon turned corners was upsetting. It is a stud farm and they had.30 goals last year....but I still don't know if this isn't hurting the unborn foal.

This was an outstanding trip! It was well planned and paced. The guide and driver both spoke excellent English, and they kept us informed throughout the trip. The farm visit was most interesting. We took a carriage ride, rode a horse, viewed the demonstration show, saw many other animals and topped the day off with a delicious Hungarian lunch.

A trip into the Hungarian countryside gave me a different perspective into this beautiful and diverse nation. The vehicle , driver and guide Laszlo and Laszlo were excellent , so were the arrangements at the Cszarda. The horse show was special, food and live gypsy band most enjoyable. The en route stop at Kescemet was very interesting - a beautiful, small town. All in all a well planned , well paced, enjoyable day. Thank you Eurama.

Absolutely excellent the way it was organised. Breathtaking scenery and our guide Walter was very knowledgeable with a good sense of humour. Highly recommended for anyone who visits Salzburg area.
