A must to see if staying in Budapest - This trip was amazing. Who would of thought that this beautiful lake existed. Vera was a great guide and very knowledgeable. It is definitely worth a visit if staying in Budapest.

Lovely day on the lake Balaton - Lovely day on the lake Balaton. We were a small group of four with a guide. Had a wonderful day visiting the Herend porcelain factory and the lake. Had a wonderful lunch and actually had a swim in the lake

Amazing lake and visit to he Hereld porcelain shop and museum - The guide Gguri was an excellent guide and adjusted to our needs and the situation of the trip. He went out of his way to make us feel at home and enjoy the visit. The porcelain workshop at Hereld was nice to see and its guide explained the process of making the pieces very clearly. It took us two hours to get to Lake Balaton and Tihany. Unfortunately, it wasn't a good day for a swim and we could only see the amazing lake. All in all, a short but wonderful experience.

Lake Balaton - It was great trip. We liked the porcelain making demonstration in Herend and the views of lake Balaton and also the village which we stopped by to have lunch.

A worthwhile but tiring day trip - Our day started by getting picked up from the hotel by taxi which took us to the meeting point. Our guide was very informative and made a good job by switching from French to English languages. Lake Balaton is indeed HUGE, Hungarians consider this to be their seaside. The view from the Tihany Abbey makes you appreciate the lake even more so. The tour round Herend Porcelain Manufactory is recommended if nothing else but to respect and admire the skills of the craftspersons. We were very lucky with the weather on the day, the peace and tranquillity of the area were soaked in!

A great day trip! The perfect... - <p>A great day trip! The perfect choice for my first day - I did not have to get up too early, and, the tour was a nice, easy pace all day. Ample time to explore on my own at the different stops. Great driver and tour guide. Very knowledgeable and professional. I plan to arrange another of your tours on my next visit!</p>

Spectacular scenery - This is a very worthwhile day trip from Budapest. Lake Balaton and its surrounds are really beautiful and I could imagine staying there for a vacation. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the Cityrama guide kept moving on without checking that the slower walkers were keeping up. She often started explaining things, including pickup times and locations, before everyone was together.

Beautiful tour - Lake Balaton and Herend Porcelain Manufactory are both worth visiting. The stops at the abbey and the surrounding tourist village, and the lunch break were time restricted. There is not enough time to visit the church and also have a good look around the nice shops and maybe stop for a refreshment. Also the 50 minute lunch break is too short to enjoy the good food served at the beach restaurants.The tour leader had to explain in both Spanish and English. Unfortunately, she went into more detail in the Spanish version than in English. But, all in all, it was a very nice experience and highly recommended.

Driver's first trip and English guide couldn't be understood - Whilst I enjoyed visiting the Herend porcelain factory, Tihany, and Balatonfured, there was no communications from the english/spanish speaking guide to set expectations and timings for the day. There was another guide who spoke Italian and she spoke with ease, presented well, and added other fun facts to the stories she told. The english/spanish speaking guide just gave us basic facts and figures you could get off google. It was also almost impossible to understand her as she had quite a monotone voice, didn't enunciate her words and and spoke too closely to the microphone. Very disappointed. It appeared it was the drivers first go at this tour as he missed a turn, sped, didn't stop at stop signs, and took a photo whilst driving. Despite this, the sights were lovely and we enjoyed good company from our fellow travellers.

Terrible Experience with cityrama - Tour operator did not take us to factory as promised in the viator description, giving a lame excuse that the entrance prices of the factory have gone up. Also, they didnt provide/pay for any tea/coffee to any of us, and in fact took us to a cafe that overcharged on all types of drinks. They made us take a local transport for an additional fee of 8 Euros saying that is a must for all. Not a great experience.
