  7. Hi,

    I am interesed in the Buda Hills bus tour. Just wondering where is the departure point: the webpage lists in one place “Departure in City Center: Chain Bridge”, but also in another place “Meeting Point: 19 Bathory Str Budapest District V.” Google maps shows these two points are not close. Could you please clarify? Thanks

  8. Good morning!

    How are you?
    I am Enrique and I am in charge of developing the activities in HUNGARY at Civitatis.com

    I will contact you to find out if you have any new excursions, activities or interesting visits that you think might fit our clients and be able to increase our portfolio in the destination.

    I was specifically interested in THIS ONE that I have seen in your portfolio

    Can you give me or tell me more details so I can review and include these activities after studying with our manager?

    It would be very interesting for us and I hope for you too.

    We wait for a response so we can continue moving forward.

    Best regards.
