Overview of your Budapest tour

When it comes to holiday many Hungarian choose this beautiful lake, the biggest one in central Europe, full of natural beauty and history alike! The northern shore of Balaton, especially the Tihany peninsula, which is on the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage a favored destination also for tourists, and not only at summertime. Here you find everything, old villages, historical towns, modern holiday resorts, and one of the best wine regions of Hungary!

Our group of four had an excellent day out at Lake Balaton, also some spending time in Tihany and Veszprém. Our guide Kinde who filled in for Ildiko, was very knowledgeable, had an excellent command of English language, was very accommodating, and quite simply a delight to spend a whole day with. Nothing was too much trouble, and as she had spent much time in the area had lots of interesting experiences to share with us. Would strongly recommend this tour to people who want to explore more than the landmarks and see where and what the locals do in their spare time. And would strongly recommend Kinde as the guide - she was terrific!

We enjoyed our tour of the lake and winery region very much. It was a beautiful outing, with wonderful stops and a most excellent guide! We recommend this tour to anyone who wants to spend a day seeing where those from Budapest go to relax, play, and enjoy the fruits of the region!

Ildiko did an amazing job of coordinating a tour that exceeded our expectations! She replied quickly to emails with questions and provided an opportunity for my husband to meet non-English speaking family members. Ildiko and Tomasz were fun and friendly and made us feel comfortable every step of the way.

Of course when the ferry does not operate, like january, february, december - we take the was on the lakeshore. Tihany is an ancient settlement and an old rural village in one. Tihany Benedictine Archabbey was founded in 1055. The splendid baroque abbey church, and under the romanesque sub church guarding the only intact royal tomb of Hungary, also offer an exhibtion about history of the place.The thatched roofed fishermen's houses in the old village, the breathtaking panorama of Lake Balaton - all worth a visit! After lunch we stop in Balatonfured, which started to be favored by the Hungarian aristocracy in the 19th century.
