    Even though the factory was a bit small, everything was explained very well, we learned how the pieces were made and it made us want to buy everything!

    Balaton is a super large lake, so the guide's recommendations were perfect to get to know the best areas.

    The place where we stopped for lunch was very nice and the walk across the lake was relaxing and peaceful. The guide gave us our space, we liked it very much.
