Details

Porcelain Museum of Herend
A nice visit to the Herend factory, where you will be amazed at the skill and craftsmanship of the potters, model makers, painters and in particular the master painters. In this day and age of mass production where the majority of manufacturing processes is done by machine it is nice to see the traditional methods of hand made production maintained at Herend.

Tihany Echo
The place with the greatest historical significance on Lake Balaton is Tihany, a peninsula jutting 5km into the lake. Tihany village, perched on an 80m-high plateau along the peninsula’s eastern coast, is home to the celebrated Abbey Church.

Our tour guide Nora was excellent and very knowledgeable about the area. Even though we had some rain she made sure we all had an enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend this trip and Nora for the tour guide.

We had a wonderful trip out of Budapest to the Lake Balaton region. We especially enjoyed the tour of the Herend Porcelain Factory. Our guide, Susan, was a wealth of knowledge and gave us additional details concerning the history of Hungary which helped us connect things we'd previously heard. Lake Balaton aka the Hungarian Sea was even more beautiful than I had imagined. When you've seen the sights in Budapest - definitely take this trip to Lake Balaton!

Our tour guide Atilla made the trip wonderful! Informative, attentive, and authentic. Lake Balatan is such a beautiful area. We got lucky with the weather. Rode a ferry boat, fed the swans, and immersed ourselvs in the history of the area. What more would you want?

Knowing we were in Budapest for a full week, we were looking for a day off where we didn't have to make any decisions and instead follow along while a guide showed us around. This tour did not disappoint. Susan showed up a little bit early and was friendly right from the start. The minute we got in her car, she was giving us interesting tidbits about Budapest we would never have otherwise known. She was funny and we managed to have some 'inside jokes' throughout the day. The tour itself was great. We got out of the car a few times in order to see different parts of the lake and had a great trip to the Herend factory just outside of town. Susan continued to give us some great information and history about the area. We loved this tour and can not recommend Susan enough. She was the perfect person to show us around and was so pleasant to spend a day with. It was a great tour!
