Puszta Great Plains Day Trip from Budapest
The tour takes you on a scenic drive through the Great Plains to Kecskemet, where you will be taken on a guided walk through the town. Kecskemet is the largest town in the region, with historical monuments, nature reserves and a thriving cultural life.
Continuing on to Lajosmizse, you will be greeted with a traditional welcome drink. After an exciting performance by the famous horsemen of the region, you'll take a carriage ride through the Puszta, the typical steppe landscape of the Great Plains.
You'll then enjoy a Hungarian three-course meal with wine at a traditional tavern, accompanied by stirring gypsy music.
On your return to Budapest, you'll drive through the unique Great Plains landscape of sand dunes, grasslands, reed-lined waterways and backwaters, tiny white farms, well-kept pastures and rolling fields of wheat.

A really enjoyable tour with an informative guide, an excellent driver and some beautiful scenery. Kecskemet was a delightful town and the farm was a beautiful setting for a wander and enjoyable lunch. The "cowboys " were great and their display of horsemanship was exciting. The trip was a terrific contrast to the city and provided a relaxing break.
