We are just back from Hungary and this was the most unique and surprising bike tour we have ever been on! Hungary is such a beautiful country and the people are warm, kind, and food and wine throughout just wonderful. We didn’t know quite what to expect with Hungary, but it should be on your bucket list! We loved the cycling and the local support was just the right amount. After leaving Hungary, all I can say is, we will be back!
This is our third trip to Hungary and first time on a bike tour. Overall great bike tour, food, and hotels were just what we look for in a vacation. Very happy travellers here!
We recently completed a one week culinary cycling trip in Hungary’s wine region. The combination of a breathtaking countryside, delicious food, outstanding wine and top-notch hospitality set the stage for a great time. But what really made this experience remarkable is the Pure Adventures local guide and local support crew. They went far above and beyond to ensure everyone was delighted every day. The memories made there will not be forgotten. I recommend this trip to anyone considering this type of adventure.
Thank you to Loren and Richie at Pure Adventures for putting together such an amazing trip!
I have just returned home from our wonderful trip to Eastern Europe and wanted to tell you how pleased we were with all your arrangements. The service on the ground was really amazing. Tom was always easy to reach with the cell phone that was part of our gear, and more than accommodating. The hotels that we stayed at surpassed our expectations in every case. And the breadth of exposure to Czech history and culture was lovely. And best of all, the GPS kept us on the straight and narrow most of the time.
Our family of 5 just completed the Trail to Table bike, hike & kayak tour in Hungary. What a wonderful experience! Richie and Loren from Pure Adventures were absolutely amazing from the minute we contacted them. Booking and payments was easy and all information was send in a timely manner answering ever possible question we might have. If you enjoy to be active and outdoors, scenic country routes and breath-taking views, high quality local cuisine, fantastic wines (unique varieties most if which is only available in Hungary), going off the beaten track, experience the history of the land coming alive and meet truly inspiring, knowledgeable, professional, fun and warm hearted people, this tour is for you! Pure Adventures Hungary team took excellent care of us with all the logistics to the very last little detail. We cannot thank all the super nice guys Akos, Joseph, Balasz, and Andras enough for creating such special memories for our family. We came to Hungary knowing very little about the country, and we left with a feeling of deep respect, love and admiration for this beautiful country and the spirit of it’s people. We wish our Hungarian friends all the very best for the future and hope to meet you again soon.
