Day tour in SE Hungary

In southeastern Hungary, I took a one-day tour of Szeged and the Ópusztaszer National Historical Memorial Park and open-air museum on Sunday, April 22, 2012, led by Peter Antal (phone +36 70 56 888 76, e-mail peti@tourguideing.hu or visit www.tourguideing.hu).

Peter is local to Hódmezö­vá­sár­hely and leads tours in the area. He has a very good command of English, and I found his price to be reasonable.

The cost of HUF5,000 (about $21) covered the van for 10 and the guide. Entry to sites cost extra ($6 to the historical park). Lunch was self-pay. I recommend Peter.

By the way, on his website is a page for dental tourism. Apparently, Hódmezövásárhely has become a dental-tourism center. In fact, members of my tour were primarily dental patients from Ireland and their families.
