Travel - YES, Chord tour - NO.

Cheating with tour package:

In 2018, the Chord Tour is an innovation - when you buy a tour from above, you pay the required amount, which you then use for excursions (tour package). How it was:

1. Tourists paid for a trip to a really cool and picturesque place - Lake Balaton. They were put on a bus and mistakenly taken to Hévíz Island, where they still had to pay a lot of money for an entrance ticket. As soon as the tourists plunged into the thermal baths and began to understand that a hot bath on a hot day is not the best option, as the guide decided to correct the mistake - urgently gathered everyone, put on a bus and took to Lake Balaton. But since the road is not close, the lake. They returned in the evening - tortured, angry and very hungry (because to "eat" the voyage of Lake Budapest did not provide at all).

2. The tropicarium in Budapest is steep and huge. But the Accord tour devotes so little time to it that tourists, running through the halls, have time to think - "perhaps it would be interesting to see everything here."

Mount Gellert is located in the center of the city and everyone can climb it, walking along the picturesque trails. Google maps perfectly pave the route. We did not understand what tourists have to pay for the Accord tour in this tour.

4. Well, the last excursion offered to us - a boat trip on the last night before leaving home. Since the choice is not rich, most tourists sent their tour package for a boat trip.

Unfortunately, the guide could not cope with the organization of this "extremely difficult" tour. We were late for the first ship, there were no seats for the second, and late for the third - we have to go home. Since the tour was not our fault and we could not send the tour package for another tour (because we went home), we were promised a refund for the tour after the guide submitted a report to the Accord Tour.

After 2 months of correspondence, the Accord Tour flatly refused to return the money, saying - "it was necessary to choose another tour."

By organizing the tour:

A trip to the baths of Secheni an hour before their closing, tourists forgotten in the hotel, the constant rescheduling of the meeting near the bus is postponed to 18:00, pass it on to those you see "; at 18:15 the guide's call -" meeting postponed " three times cheaper than with the Accord tour, by the way) or an extra hour (payments, by the way) to soak in the baths.

By bus: note that the back of the seat reclines back a maximum of 30 degrees. Therefore, sleeping on the bus will not be very comfortable. And if you are as lucky as us - to stand at the border for 10 hours, you will remember this unforgettable bus trip for a long time.

Around the hotel: the edge of geography (I do not envy forgotten tourists there), hungry (to get food in the evening you need to remember survival courses), small modest rooms, but very comfortable and cozy beds - slept there very well, and a good breakfast.

Summing up - Budapest is a chic city, there are a lot of opportunities to get bright and unforgettable emotions, but the organizational policy of the Accord Tour will nullify all the positives.
