Well worth it! - Although it was a long day, our guide/driver was super and stopped for coffee and cake at a wonderful coffee shop on the way to the lake. Lake Balaton was quite beautiful and a suggestion would be to take some towels and bathing suits so that you can swim. We didn't but should have. Our guide also took us to "The Echo" restaurant which was stunning with good food. A very enjoyable experience.

A nice and relaxing tour with an expert guide! - Our guide/driver Balázs was wonderful! He took us in his Lincoln through the Hungarian lovely countryside. The lake large and has many villages and towns on its shores. The tour allows you to visit about one third of the lake. You can do some water activities. The Tihany abbey was great. It houses the grave of King Andrew, the only Hungarian King’s grave still exists. The abbey also houses a nice museum too. I enjoyed the rich conversations we had with Balázs. Two days later we took another half tour with Balázs to the Danube bend which was also very lovely. Both tours are highly recommended!

An excellent tour and a great guide/driver - In 2006 I had gone to Lake Balaton with my father and I remembered how beautiful it was. This year I was taking my two adult sons on their first visit to Hungary, and I wanted them to experience Lake Balaton. It was a great tour. Our driver/guide Balazs picked us up in a classic Lincoln Town Car. He answered all our questions but also added context by bringing in personal experiences, current events, and things like that. He had an excellent knowledge of Hungarian history, particularly from the old Soviet era to the present day. We had very pleasant stops for refreshments and lunch. Balazs took us to all the scheduled locations (and gave us detailed information about each one), but also took us, for example, to a spot that would give us a superb view of the lake. This was a totally enjoyable experience. You won't be disappointed by this tour, or by Balazs.

Lake Balaton should not be missed! - Relaxing day in the charming Lake Balaton region. Our guide was informative and fun to be with and the area was so picturesque. The lunch was delicious and the ferry ride also a treat.

Balaton on my mind - The best thing about the trek to Balaton was the beautiful lake and charming hamlets around it, but Attila was a close second. I asked all manner of odd questions and he fielded them all in a deeply informed while comically entertaining fashion. Thanks again for offering us your time and talent. Anyone wanting a more than common experience in Hungary should seriously entertain thoughts of Attila hosting, transporting, guiding, and all else ASAP!

Relaxing & Learned so much about the history of Hungary. - This was a wonderful tour and our guide was ready to provide us loads of history of Hungary and the area we saw driving to Lake Balaton. Had time to stop for coffee and lunch in the Balaton area. The Lake was very calm and just beautiful. You will not be disappointed with this trip and your guide.

Stess free with someone who knows where they're going - We loved our trip into the Hungarian countryside. Our guide drove us in his splendid Lincoln Continental. We stopped at a beautiful restaurant for lunch - Echo in Tihany. It reminded me of the lunch we had many years ago in Bellagio. We also visited the beautiful Benedictine abbey in Tihany.
