    All the hotels accommodation were 4 star with fabulous breakfasts, EXCEPT the locations other than Budapest and Vienna were very far from the city centres. The bus driver and bus were good, probably my only improvement would be the bus windows need to be cleaned daily. The guides were generally professional, but at times difficult to hear. An improvement i would suggest would be to have receivers and head phones. One other very annoying thing was Travel Talks administrative people to equally share tge single room amongst the 3 solo share singles. I had to complain and the Group tour guide remedied that blunder. Likewise I would never share again, as one of the solos had a bad cough for the whole trip and shared it with me, I was not a happy camper as I had not had a cold, cough, flu or covid-19 in the last 2 decades and had had open heart surgery just under 2 years ago. I demanded the solo room on the last 2 nights, throat gargled with scotch, took Amoxil tablets, antibiotic lozenges and kicked in 2.5 days. Oh! I am 69 and the other disease spreading passenger maybe 50ish, coughed with out covering his mouth with a hanky or tissues or even his hand. Totally unsatisfactory on a group tour.

    I had the pleasure of experiencing a tour with Zorantan, and it was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, Zorantan was knowledgeable, engaging, and professional. He made every stop feel special, sharing fascinating historical facts and local insights that really brought the tour to life and made it engaging.I highly recommend Zorantan for anyone looking to explore the area — you won’t be disappointed!
