Review summary

Definitely recommend extra days in Budapest and Prague. Both great cities with great people. Tours are early but well managed. They could improve the information on tour departures. Generally the were 5-10 minutes earlier than the written material stated. One tour did not include the organ concert as stated in the tour description.

Restaurant was disorganized. A loud chaotic experience. Luckily there was another small area to eat that was quiet, with the same menu and great service. Food was good.
