Great trip log, it felt like we were on the trip with you and Morris-- we have had 4 trips to Meiringen,
and would go back in a heartbeat. Thanks for sharing your adventures with the Cafe.

I looked up the palinka and kielbasa festival on the internet and discovered that it was held for the third time in 2009. It does not look like there will be one in 2010. However, go to the following website and search for festivals during the perio…
We are doing the Budapest Untour in early October as you did (but only for one week). I was in Budapest in July/August 1990 so am anxious to see how things have changed since the early days after the departure of the Soviets. It was very exciting th…
Untours published its own Swiss Hiking Guide which we found useful during our stay in the Swiss Heartland last fall. If you are going to Switzerland with Untours, you will receive a copy automatically.
Thank you for your comments. My husband and I leave next week, May 4 for Budapest for 2 weeks. This will be our 7th Untour. Our apartment is in Elizabeth Town on Wesselenyi Ut, Jewish Quarter, near the Great Synagogue. We also have Frommer's plus a…
Calling all Paris lovers!
Looks exactly like the view just beyound the door of Chalet Margrit, where we stayed in 2008. A WONDERFUL apartment!
This fantastic work of art was done by Varga. And for those who want to see more of Varga's work, which is unbelievable, he has a museum in Obuda. Its definitely worth a visit. In Obuda there is also the Vasarely Museum and a Folk Museum. John Rybcz…

I also love desserts and my husband, an amateur photographer, has taken great pictures of the desserts and tea that we enjoyed at outdoor cafes. I make scrapbooks of our travels, giving me a chance to re-live the trips and share my experiences with friends.

Budapest fall 2008
Our first Untours experience was in Budapest where we stayed in an apartment that was conveniently located near public transportation, grocery and convenience stores, and restaurants. Two weeks allowed us time to visit main tourist attractions as well as explore places off the beaten track. The Hungarian language was difficult and the currency made us feel like millionaires since one dollar purchased about 180 Hungarian forints. The weather was ideal for walking, sightseeing, and enjoying outdoo… Continue

Welcome to the Untours Cafe! I hope you'll have as much fun here as I do. Take your time and explore some of the photos, and videos. If you like, you can even post a question or start a discussion in our forum.
When you have a chance, fill out some of the questions in your profile so that others can learn a bit more about you, and you can also set up a picture of yourself for your page to personalize it a bit. It helps us put a face to the name.
Are you interested in traveling to a specific place? Do you already have a favorite Untour? To connect with other Untourists going there (or who also just love it), join a destination group!
If you run into any problems or have any question, you can send me a message or ask my colleagues, Marilee, Sue, & Kim. We're here to help!

- Be sure to visit the Hungarian Horse Riding Show. It is a must. My husband and I were on a river cruise and our boat made a stop in Budapest. The tour guide booked this for us. We have not been on an Untour Tour yet, but we plan to in the future.
