★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 107 reviews · 9.5 hours · from $128Our pick

Full-day Lake Balaton tour from Budapest: Balatonfüred promenades, a 1-hour boat cruise, and Tihany Peninsula views and lavender.

Private Lake Balaton day trip from Budapest with Tihany village, Balatonfüred promenade, ferry views, and a monastery stop.

“I thought that paying about 220 euro per person would give us a better experience. It is true that the continuous drizzling rain did not help, but I expected visiting a small village by the lake and maybe spend some time on our own going round.”
