Our First-Hand Experience

Two of our long time client friends have joined our check out team for this amazing experience!  Interestingly both had business that took them to Vienna and they wanted to add on a few days of hunting in the area.  Then Rusty actually took his family back for a hunting vacation combined with touring in the area.  Both were impressed by the attention to detail, exceptional lodging, fantastic touring opportunities and the hunting.  While this these are high opportunity hunts, they do come with somewhat challenging terrain at times.

On a return trip with his family, Rusty enjoyed a few days of hunting while his family toured the areas surrounding the hunting grounds all the while staying in luxurious accommodations.  A hit with the whole family and guilt free hunting for Rusty!

Activities

Hunting in Hungary is just the beginning… you are invited to take in the sights and sounds of one of Europe’s most fascinating countries. Hungary’s unusual history has shaped a unique culture with an appreciation for breathtaking architecture, amazing regional cuisine, world-class wines and fine art.

Budapest, Hungary’s buzzing capital city, is the seventh largest city in the entire European Union and serves as the world’s gateway to an ancient land full of surprises.  Widely considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Budapest boasts an impressive list of World Heritage Sites that include the Danube banks, the Buda Castle District, the Millennium Underground Rail System and Hero’s Square (adjacent to the Museum of Hungarian Agriculture which serves as an impressive and historic hunting museum)

Our tours are designed to enhance the hunting experience. We are fortunate to live in an area overflowing with enchanting history, culture and kind-hearted people. With pleasure, we invite you to add personalized touring of Budapest and its surroundings to your hunt in Hungary.

Budapest hotels can range wildly in quality and convenience.  We normally house our hunters in either the Gresham Palace Four Seasons on the banks of the Danube on the Pest side or the Conrad Hilton in the Buda Castle District.  However, we can coordinate your hotel stays based on your group dynamics and specific interests.

Budapest is famous for its great regional and international cuisine.  From open markets to casual bar fare to fine dining, Budapest has it all.  Many  hunting programs begin with a “welcome lunch” at one of Budapest’s many gourmet restaurants.

Sometimes, exploring a country’s small towns, villages and nature preserves is the best way to get in touch with the pulse of the place…Hungary is no different.  There are intriguing destinations both near and far from Budapest that can dramatically add to your overall experience in Hungary.

One of the great things about hunting in Hungary is that it is easy to reach many of Europe’s top tourism destinations in the same trip.  Budapest is one of the continent’s most revered capital cities, but it is also just a short drive to Vienna, Bratislava, Prague and other great cities.
