Budapest to Bucharest

Mary · Traveled August 2024
Totally enjoyed our 10 day Budapest to Bucarest trip with Intrepid. Sandu, our guide exceeded all expectations and we so enjoyed our little group of 12. The scenery, culture, people and food was diverse and we took opportunity to try the local fare. Thoroughly recommend this trip for anyone who chooses to see another part of the world not so impacted by tourism .

Budapest to Bucharest

David · Traveled August 2024
Nice introduction to Hungary and Romania- would arrive early to have some time in Budapest. Home stays were great time to see countryside in Transylvania. Lots of history about communist rule and beautiful cities to explore. Good guided tours included as well as some guided tours we did as a group arranged by tour leader. It is pretty hot in August- earlier in Spring or September would be more comfortable, especially as some accommodations do not have AC. Overall a great trip although portion of trip spent in Hungary is very small- would be nice if a few days more were spent there.

Budapest to Bucharest

Karen · Traveled August 2024
Budapest to Bucharest tour was a marvellous experience. We had 2 local homestays which were fantastic. We sampled local food and found people to be very helpful. The guided tours were excellent and the whole trip was very well organised and orchestrated by our leader Tania. We experienced the history of Eastern Europe and have come away with a new understanding. Will continue to travel with Intrepid!

Budapest to Bucharest

Dorota · Traveled August 2024
This was my third, and likely my last, trip with Intrepid. A few months prior, I contacted Intrepid to inquire about changing my travel dates because the dates I originally chose were sold out. I explained that my partner wanted to join the trip but there were no available spaces. I wasn’t asking to cancel my trip; I simply wanted to move it to alternative dates and was introducing a new paying customer to Intrepid. There would have been no issue filling my spot since there was plenty of time before the trip. Unfortunately, this wasn’t my first experience with Intrepid’s inflexibility. I was told that I could either cancel and rebook, losing my €400 deposit, or stick with the original dates.
