G.O.D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................................. It's the wildest craziest most fantastic thing to do, an experience that will make you high for a week. "Said someone, who did it..

With The Best tandem skydiver instructor of Hungary. A piece of advice: don't do it with a full stomach :). They'll -pick you up from your hostel, -will give you goggles and flight-suit, -will take photos of the whole thing + make a video of you flying...
They`ll pick you up from wherever you are, ask your hostel to organize it for you, or contact them yourself.
