budapest recommendations
We will be sailing on the ms Joy from Budapest in June 2018. The Bridges tour begins on Saturday at 2 pm and leaves Budapest that evening. According to the itinerary online, day 1 will visit sites such as Hero's Square and Fisherman's Bastion. We plan to arrive 2 days early for the trip so that we can experience a bit more of Budapest. I'd like to know what sites we will be seeing on the brief Tauck tour of the city (in addition to the 2 previously mentioned) so that we do not repeat those on our own tours. From research online, it seems that Hero's Square is part of the City Park area which also includes many other interesting sites. Will Tauck explore the park at all or just visit Hero's Square and move on? I have the same question regarding Fisherman's Bastion in the Castle District. Finally, I've seen many recommendations to do an evening cruise on the Danube to see the lights, especially those at the Parliament Building. Will we be able to see those as the Tauck cruise departs Budapest on Saturday evening, or should we do that on one of our evenings before the tour starts? I realize that I am asking these questions WAY before the actual cruise, but I am hoping a Tauck cruise director or someone who has taken this cruise recently can help me out with some details. Obviously we are very excited for this trip!
