Overview

Lake Balaton is the essence of Hungarian rural beauty. Hungary's version of Provance or Tuscany.
In March and April the weather is perfect, the scenery is at its best, the trees and flowers are blooming.
However, any time of the year,
you will enjoy stunning views, the most beautiful village in the country with century-old whitewashed houses.
The driving time is about 90 minutes. Then we use the ferry to cross the lake (together with the car), where you can already enjoy the beautiful view of the Lake.
The ferry takes us to the nicest part of the lake, a quaint village with the best views.

The pearl of the Balaton is the Tihanyi Peninsula.

On one of its hills a church and a monastery were founded as early as a 1000 years ago.
In Tihany you will walk around this charming and famous little town on the peninsula with the same name.

This was an excellent tour experience. This is not as long as some of the similar trips which was perfect for our packed few days in Budapest. Guide was extremely informative and felt safe when he was driving. The lake and surrounding village is beautiful and the lavender ice cream is a must try!
