Amazing trip to Budapest. Hotel central and beds so comfy. Watching F1 was brill wasn't a fan but definitely am now. Train journeys to Vienna and Prague were a breeze. Very well organised trip. The sightseeing on the river and open top bus I would recommend. Some great architecture. Thankyou Crown Trips.
