After reading nightmarish reviews about "deadly serpentines", "terrible guides" and the fact of paying for additional excursions so that you would not be left in some supermarket in the suburbs, honestly, it was scary to go. And yet, the price of 146 euros (without a tour package, then there was just a promotion, ask your tour operator, we had "Divo Travel") and 3 countries, and even an overnight stay in the Czech Republic, kept us. Briefly: my friend and I are students, I wanted to have a more budgetary vacation and more. Tour - "Vienna, I'm on my way!" no overnight travel. We got a wonderful guide - Anya Savchuk, and the drivers are good, sorry I don't remember their names. Now in order. Of the minuses - they stood on the border with Poland in stuffiness for 6 (!) Hours. Although I understand that it was not the Accord’s fault, after that I didn’t want to go anywhere. Wroclaw is a wonderful city, but after a hard road, sleepy and tired, we all wanted to eat normally, and besides, it was raining in the city for a short time, so the impression of Poland was twofold. The hotel in the Czech Republic was wonderful, 4 stars, the rooms are great, plus the buffet(s) is pretty decent.
As for Austria - we did not take a tour package, so we did not go on excursions - we did not want to waste time on this. Instead, my friend and I charted our own course and all the time went where we wanted and enjoyed the city. Believe me, it's much better than shaking on the bus again on an excursion for 30 euros, although it's up to everyone. An important point - we did not take excursions, but they brought everyone to the city itself, they did not leave ANYONE.
Now Hungary is an unreasonably expensive and dirty country. It is beautiful in the very center, historical buildings radiate a certain flavor, but 100m from the center you are greeted by stripped streets and pieces of plaster. Another nuisance - from 11 to 12 nights stood near the hotel (!!!!!) in the bus, because the drivers were looking for where to park. This is the nuance we did not understand. We spent a little time in Budapest itself - an hour in the evening, and two hours the next morning. The hotel left a lot to be desired. There were no terrible serpentines on the way back - I slept all the time, the road was soft. By the way, about the bus - yes, a normal bus. Nothing shakes, the seats can be adjusted, two TVs and air conditioning. No one detained us at customs, we arrived at 3 am. All tourists were prudent, and took tickets for a while later, so whoever complains that he was late for his train - blame yourself. The human factor in this case takes its toll.
And finally - bus tours for that and bus tours - this is not all inclusive for you in Turkey. If you have never been abroad - Accord is a good start. Do not book a tour expecting God knows what from it, and then write negative reviews. My impression is that the tour is good! However, next time we will still take plane tickets :)
