The local tour companies, which charge in euros, are also able to keep their tour prices down due to the low cost of doing business close to home and to spreading their expenses over a large, primarily European client base. For example, one nearly all-inclusive one-week tour in Hungary--with two guides, support van, driver, all meals, lodging in three-star hotels and inns, airport transfers, bicycle rentals, luggage transfers and even unlimited wine--costs only $990.
