Come! See for Yourself.
Anyone who’s spent time with Andrea knows she doesn’t just lead tours — she pours herself into them. And when the stars align, she’s the one guiding you through Hungary in person. With three decades in tourism under her belt, she has an insider’s feel for the country, and every group that travels with her gets the benefit of that deep well of knowledge.
I’ve made the trip to Hungary and Transylvania more times than I can count, and I still walk away having learned something new every time. Working alongside Andrea is one of the real joys of putting these tours together — if you ever see a photo of us cracking up together, that’s just what happens when we’re deep in the planning process. We genuinely have fun doing this.
Travel with Us!
There’s something that shifts in you when you stand where your ancestors once stood. If you’ve dug into your family history already, you understand exactly why that sense of place matters. And if you haven’t started digging yet, a trip to Hungary has a way of sparking the questions anyway — what made them leave? What were they hoping to find on the other side of that decision?
Our tours are built around variety. We spend most of our time in the Hungarian countryside, tracing how earlier generations actually lived day to day. Along the way, we stop at small, family-run businesses that still carry on Hungarian traditions. The regions change from year to year, so each tour brings its own local flavor — but folk artisans, traditional cooking, and hands-on food experiences are always part of the mix. Add in a castle, a palace or manor house, and a healthy dose of folk custom, and you’ve got the shape of the trip.
