Pricing

Simple, transparent pricing. No surprises.

Everything is included in one price. No hidden fees, no commission-driven add-ons, no awkward moments. Just the number — and what it gets you.

2027 Trip Price $5,950
per person, based on double occupancy — The Hidden Heart of Hungary

This journey is built for two — however you define your two. A couple, a sister, a decades-long best friend, the brother you never see enough of. We designed the pace, the rooms, and the roads around a pair, not a crowd.
