A jewel of the former Austro-Hungarian empire, Hungary still shines with elegant European grandeur. Skirting the banks of the Danube, the ornate Neo-Gothic buildings, baroque bathhouses, gilded castles, palaces and monuments in Budapest create a feast for the senses that you’ll not soon forget.

Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day over terrain that’s relatively flat but will include inclines and the occasional climb or two.
Walking – 8-12 km (5-7 mi.) a day over relatively flat terrain, with occasional steeper climbs.
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day in gently rolling countryside, with occasional longer climbs to points that are well worth the effort.

Biking – 50-60 km (30-45 mi.) a day over both level and tougher, hillier terrain with multiple 100 km (62 mi.) options. The routes are designed for avid cyclists and include plenty of chances to push yourself.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) a day over fairly hilly terrain offering lots of challenges. Routes are along high meadow paths and/or well-maintained cliffside or alpine trails, with a few steep ascents to make you feel invigorated.
We use premium hotels that are unique expressions of the region. Often they’ve had a previous life as a monastery or a castle, but in every case they offer an exceptionally comfortable stay.
These are stylish 4-star properties that offer a casual and comfortable stay. Often without a 24-hour concierge or room service, they tend to be smaller family-run hotels that are perfect for the region.
We craft extraordinary experiences, tailor made to meet your every need,
with every stitch of every day crafted just the way you want it.

We travel all over the world and have high expectations from our travel providers. Never before have we had a trip that exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Getting off the beaten path, seeing our children ride along without a care in the world, delighting in each others company and the new sights and experiences they encountered each day... it was sublime. Thank you!
