Judit
 

I was fortunate to have landed on Judit's website when I began my research for a tour guide for Budapest.
 

Judit was very helpful in the preliminary planning stages and provided prompt and thorough responses to my numerous inquiries. Not only did she provide extensive information on Budapest, she went out of her way to respond to numerous general questions about Hungary and provided excellent customer service.
 

Judit was the saving grace for out tour of Hungary. She went out of her way to provide expert advice about meals for our group of 53 individuals. She made restaurant reservations, menu recommendations and she volunteered to be our liaison for our group meals en route to Budapest, which was critical as we did not have any Hungarian speakers in our group.
 

Judit is truly a gem. She provided outstanding customer service and went above and beyond the call of duty. I was fortunate to have met her and would highly recommend her services. Her warm personality, good nature, understanding of travelers needs along with her flexibility to accommodate our group and ease with which she speaks English were acknowledged and appreciated.
 

I wish Judit continued success and look forward to the possibility of working with her again.
 

Warmest regards,

Judit,
 

Thank you so much for your guidance and your company during our visit to Budapest. Your knowledge of Budapest, aned Hungary is superb, and you share it with great delight in your country, which makes it so alive and present for those traveling with you. And your knowledge of all the most delicious places to eat, from sweet to savory, pastries to goulash was also wonderful. I can still remember each little spot you had us stop, or you recommended. Thank you for making our trip full of many different experiences and adventures, but for me the horses will always be my favorite.
 

Many thanks,
 

Very much a learning experience. We came home and spent 4 days aboard our boat in seclusion anchored off a small protected island.

We spent a day with Judith both touring in her car (she's an excellent driver and really knows the City) and walking around the major attractions (including the major market hall and the Parliament building). She is very knowledgeable, personal, and enjoys showing off her City to tourists. I would recommended her highly, and she will ensure that your visit to Budapest is enriching and fun."

Liebe Judith,
 

es wird nun langsam Zeit, dass wir uns bei Dir bedanken. Wir hatten ein wunderbares Wochenende in Budapest. Die Stadtführung hat uns prima gefallen und es war sehr schön, dass wir diese Führung zusammen mit dem Busfahrer nur für uns allein hatten. Auch Dein Restauranttipp war super. Es hat rundherum alles gepaßt, sogar das Wetter. Bei Gelegenheit werde ich Deine Website besuchen und eine Nachricht hinterlassen. Viele liebe Grüsse auch von den anderen

Dear Judit,
 

Joe and I would like to thank you for the wonderful tour we recently took with you. Everything I suggested you accomplished and we do appreciate that. Normally we would do things on our own, but with our limited time you helped us tour the things we were interested in. Being able to tour Parlaiment, Godollo, synagogue and have a lovely lunch in one day was ideal. We also appreciate you helping us get the items our daughter needed. The discussions we had about Hungary were very insightful. Thank you again for a delightful day,.
 

Sincerely,
 

Janet and Joe Saunders

Just wanted to drop you a note indicating that our vacation was wonderful - providing an even better experience than we had expected.
 

Judit Gresznarik provided an excellent guide service to us - our first private guide service that we have ever contracted for.
 

She showed us portions of Budepest we would have never seen. Part of my luggage did not arrive - it showed up in Linz - so we had to skip the Viking River Tour provided on Monday to do some shopping in your lovely city. If we had not had the services of Judit on Sunday - we would have seen far less of your city. However shopping gave us our own experiences; dealing with a different language and finding 'aspirins' - which we now know are not found in a super market - we shopped in the basement of the Farmers Market. We would not have seen the Farmers Market if the luggage had not been AWOL for awhile - so even adverse situations work out.
 

Please pass on our THANK YOU to Judit when you get the chance.

Greetings from Sarasota, Florida
 

Judit, We certainly enjoyed having you as our travel companion and Program Director during our September Prague to Budapest GCT river cruise. I took over 700 photos and thought you'd enjoy a few. In case you've forgotten, Paul and I traveled with my brother and sister-in-law, Dick Bragg and Val Murphey. Paul is taller than Dick and I'm the one with the brown/highlighted hair. Our friends, Lorry Larson and Dick Bleam, made it back home without a problem and the doctors have still been unable to determine what caused his problem. For future info, the doctors in Prague did everything right - at least according to Dick's doctors here. We had a wonderful time on our first GCT tour and hope to take another before too long. It would be nice to see you once again.
 

Take care.

Hello Judit,
 

Thank you for sending the photos. The trip was very much an experience of learning and discovery. It was very evident that you worked hard and enjoyed the work you've chosen. Also evident was the care for each of your clients on a personal level. I did put those comments in the follow up that was sent.
 

As Canadians I found it hard to understand how countries living so close together can take up arms and destroy their neighbours by following political leaders. With the U.S. sharing our huge border and the situation there I am not feeling so secure as I was before visiting E. European countries. More and more border controls are being suggested between us and the U.S. by the American leaders.
 

Very much a learning experience. We came home and spent 4 days aboard our boat in seclusion anchored off a small protected island.
 

Grand Circle cruise was absolutely perfect for our first small ship experience.
 

We are now off to Puerto Vallarta Mexico in 2 weeks...we are termed seasonal residents as we spend end of Oct. Nov. end of Jan to March in P.V. area or exploring Mexico. Their history is rich and it is a fast developing nation with its problems.
 

We were watching a documentary of our early W. Coast and related to the E. Orthodox priests who arrived very early among the native people. As we have toured Turkey and now E. Europe we understand and have more awareness of how our 'young' country has developed.
 

Our best wishes and thanks to you also

Dear Judit
 

Thank you for your assistance during our recent crisis while in Prague.You were not only a tour guide but you were our Friend. I really appreciate all the help and support that you gave to Lorry and me.
 

We just know you had a very successful tour and we are truly sorry that we missed it.
 

We just hope that you do (did) not have any problems while in Budapest.
 

Take Care and enjoy a good life.
 

Thank You!
 

Richard Bleam and Lorry Larson
