Why Travelers Love This
Lake Balaton is the essence of Hungarian rural beauty. Hungary's version of Provance. You will enjoy stunning views, tiny villages with century-old whitewashed houses, and amazing formations of nature. We will pass the beautifully renovated Abbey of Tihany, which was founded 1000 years ago. For 8 euros per person we can look at the fancy baroque interior. The tour is filled with beauties, interesting history and (if you opt in by sending us a message) very good wine! The views, the great gastronomy, the fresh wines, the charm of the villages and the historical and architectural heritage of the region are all good reasons to make a trip here. Would you like a different starting time? It is possible to start the tour anywhere between 6 AM to 11 PM. Just send us a message after booking, if you want a different starting time.
