London South East CollegesA great city, full of warm and friendly people who are geared up for tourists. We were only there for a few days but the enthusiasm of our tour guide was first class – she went out of her way to make sure that we experienced as much as possible and walked us to places when we no longer had the coach. Budapest has such a rich history that it is impossible not to learn a little more than just your subject.

Recommended excursions
Journey into Promontorvin – Central Europe’s longest cellar system at over 20km in length. As students walk through they learn the history of the cellars as well as the applied methods of wine-production and storage. The cellar-visit is completed with wine tasting in the St Stephen chamber where five different types of wines are served and presented.
Zwack is famous for its liqueur known as Uniqum, made with a secret blend of more than forty different herbs and spices. It was created in 1790 by Dr József Zwack. A visit to the factory and museum begins with a 20-minute film on the story of the Zwack family and ends with a tasting of Uniqum and other products in the turn-of-the-century tasting room.
This tour presents a look into champagne culture past and present through period instruments and relics. Students pass through exhibition halls shaped as champagne glasses, bottles and corks, learning about the history of the Törley ‘Sparkling Wine Factory’. They also discover the different procedures of sparkling wine manufacture and taste some of the goods.
