“The drive to Lake Balaton was good and enable us to see another part of Hungary. The little train journey was fun, however as other comments have said the only disappointment was it was in Hungarian - the guide doesn’t come on the train with you. You are given a booklet but to see everything you can’t be reading the booklet at the same time. The boat trip on the Lake was great and there was a good mix of shaded and sunny seats. There was a toilet on board and you could also purchase drinks. Th views of the peninsula were fabulous and then the drive up to the…”

“Nella descrizione del tour viene detto che si può fare un bagno nel lago, ma risulta invece impossibile sia per i tempi sia per l'organizzazione. Ci è stato fatto fare un tour su un trenino su gomma, a mio giudizio totalmente inutile, non ho visto cose interessanti. Il posto è estremamente turistico e caro.”

“Our tour guide Balazs was excellent. Very knowledgeable of the area and flexible in the schedule. Very enjoyable.”

“Terrible experience. We are ordered English-speaking tour guide but gets nice old lady with some english and most of the group were speaking Spanish. She spoke Spanish to them. Very limited information were given. We weren't informed by company that will not be English-speaking tour guide. Was sewer rain and wind. In the last moment we didn't get any choices as to continue with this group. When we arrived to Lake Balaton, the 99% restaurants were closed and most of the stores too. It was a ghost city. We were put on the boat in sewer rain without seeing anything and were taking around the lake. On the boat we…”

“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).”

“No fuimos a la fábrica de porcelana y nos la cobraron. Un timo!!! Si la excursión se llama fábrica de porcelana, habrá que ir no?”

“Tapolca Cave Lake is an amazing place. You do not want to miss the fun underground boat ride through the caves. My adult son and I had a blast. The beauty of the water and caves is stunning and otherworldly.We had a wonderful lunch nearby and saw the beautiful town and mill pond. Lake Balaton was also a part of the tour and it was absolutely beautiful. I had two tours with Peter during our week in Budapest, and we learned so much from him. He really gives you a personalized tour that is unique and he is very attentive to your needs. We didn't feel like tourists, we felt…”

“The overall experience was fantastic. I will say though that the cruise on the lake was a bit disappointing. There was no commentary so we didn’t know what we were looking at. Once we got to Tihany, the Lavender town it became obvious what we saw. The tour leader was very informative and patient.”

“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 guide was very attentive and courteous. He explained the area we drove through and made every effort to insure we saw all that we wanted.”

“Wspaniale spędzony czas w towarzystwie profesjonalnego i sympatycznego przewodnika. Niezwykle informatywna wycieczka.”

“An extraordinary building. But that's it. Otherwise it remained rather "Russian". They tried in some places, but.....”

“Beautiful area of Hungary that was interesting to see. Nice combination with the lake and manufacturing tour. The quality of the tour does not match the price.”

“We supposed to go see a historic town S before dropping us off in hotel. Our driver/tour guide, Richard, just go straight back to hotel. When I asked him about the historic town S, he said we are not going because it is under construction!!”

“Our first tour was the full-day Lake Balatan wine tour. Sweet Travel provided us a private coach for our group of eight. The driver was excellent as was the vehicle. Lake Balatan is ~75 minute drive from Budapest. When we first entered the Lake Balatan area we were a bit Read more”
