Budapest Christmas Market tour with St. Stephen’s Basilica video show, three markets, chimney cake and mulled wine, plus a Danube night walk.

That alone is worthwhile addition. Learned about the local traditions and the town. Exploring at night is a must do. Sampled chimney cake - knowing where to go is key and other treats.”
