„This is my first trip with Peter & Marietta, but it is clear why their guests stay with them for more visits. They are not just guides and organizers, but kind hosts and even good friends. I couldn’t wish for a better couple to act as ambassadors for their wonderful country, its history and cuisine. I’m certain I will return for another window on undiscovered Hungary.”
