Description of Tour

The tour starts from your hotel in Budapest, from where you will be taken to the south side of Lake Balaton, to the city of Szántód. After a short visit of the area you will travel by ferry across the lake to Tihany on the other side. Tihany is the most famous city in the Balaton region. On the way you will learn the importance of this lake from a local’s point of view. You will also find out why it is called the "Hungarian Sea" and how popular the place really is.

Tihany is a peninsula reaching into the lake, which provides an amazing view to the whole Balaton region. Here, you will visit the most important sights of the city, like the Tihany Abbey.
