Arriving to the lake we take you to a spot which has one of the best panoramas at the lake.

The city Balatonfüred was always beloved by artists and writers and for good reason; the pretty promenade and beautiful villas and mansions will very likely steal your heart.

Upon arrival, experience the beauty of the peninsula up close. Thanks to the special attributes of its landscape, its geological idiosyncrasies, its diverse flora and fauna, it was the first designated protected area in Hungary.

Tihany is both a gorgeous peninsula on the lake, and the a lovely, quaint, historic village on the peninsula.
At the top of the village, a church and a monastery were founded as early as nine centuries ago.
We have an option here to visit the church and the exhibition about the history of the region and the Benedictine monastery, where they keep the oldest Hungarian written document (which is almost 1000 years old).

At the end of the day, marvel at the beauty of the lake on a scenic, 10-minute ferry ride from the Tihany peninsula.
After that you will be driven back to your hotel in Budapest.

Attila was fantastic! He was informative and open to any questions we asked. Our tour of the lake and Tihany was exactly as described and we had multiple opportunities to get out of the car to walk or shop. The restaurant that Attila recommended was super and he brought Rubik’s cubes (who knew Mr Rubik was Hungarian?) to the lunch for us to play with. My only regret is not having our kids with us on the tour. If you are ready to get out of the city for the day, I highly recommend Attila and this tour of the countryside and lake. Hungary at its best.

The guide today was just fabulous! Balascz Ackermann arrived in one of his lovely classic cars and gave us a delightful experience to the lake and back, he was attentive and kind and a gentleman. Will definitely book him when back in Budapest!

Attila was a pleasure to have as our guide. We talked about Hungary, history, agriculture, and political economics. He took us to sites most people would never see. The restaurant was delicious with a wonderful view and it had many non meat options for us. Overall a great trip. We would highly recommend it.

I travelled with Kids under 11yo. The guide was very empathetic throughout the trip, suggested activities for the kids (feeding ducks, Ground Squirrels, visiting little aquarium). The guide helped with the language during souvenir shopping. The children stayed very grateful for the travel and asked me to rate our guide 10stars if possible. We also found a little fountain on the promenade and it was a sweet and cooling entertainnent during hot weather (36'C).

We sometimes had the impression that the guide was doing this tour for the first time.
