What To Expect
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.

5.00This Balaton tour was very enjoyable and interesting. Herend Porcelain Factory and museum were beautiful. They do a good job to demonstrate how they make porcelain figures of all sizes and shapes. Big temptation to buy them all. Balatonfüred and Tihany were both beautiful. Great views, very good lunch. Attila was a great guide with an excellent sense of humor. Thank you Attila.

5.00We 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!
A Must Do Tour In Hungary!

5.00Our 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?

5.00We had a really great time seeing part of Hungary that many tourists don't get to experience. Lake Balaton was beautiful. The vineyard had an amazing view and Tihany was a must see. We even got to go for a swim. Susan was so knowledgeable and took care to make sure our girls (6 and 9) were included. Maybe my favorite part of our time in Budapest!

3.00A good day for a day trip to lake balaton on a big national holiday when the city would be jampacked. it was a hot day but still a nice day to be out and see the beautiful area. i was hoping to see some lavender fields as i kept mentioning to our private driver Atilla, but we did not stop at one. I thought a private tour could be tweaked somehow. oh we did, we managed to stop at the Tihany Abbey, which even the nonprivate tour stops at. The TIhany postcards always have the Abbey and the lavenders! We stopped at a porcelain factory, the pretty town of Balatonfured, and had a relaxing lunch at Csopak. I think the nonprivate tour would have been just as good, at the fraction of the cost.

5.00Knowing 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!
