Excursão privada de dia inteiro ao Lago Balaton

I traveled to Budapest with my husband and mother. I did multiple activities through Sweet Travel Private Tours. I worked with Kata Gyevat Dobo for months prior to the trip. She was amazing and organized my entire itinerary for us. She answered every email in a timely manner, planned every detail, and was available on short notice once we were in Hungary. Our guide was the same for every activity. His name was Stephen (the tall guy). He was OUTSTANDING!!!!! I cannot say enough good things about him. He was kind, attentive to my mother, very smart and knowledgeable about everywhere we visited but also of Hungary in general, funny, warm, and exactly who we would want to spend so much time with. My mother actually considers him family at this point. We were all sad to have said good-bye to him. If ever back in Hungary, I would only do activities if Stephen (the tall guy) was my guide!! I am so grateful to this team for their help and for making my visit to Hungary with my family so special. It was a very special trip and one that we will all remember forever!!

Our first tour was the full-day Lake Balatan wine tour. Sweet Travel provided us a private coach for our group of eight. The driver was excellent as was the vehicle. Lake Balatan is ~75 minute drive from Budapest. When we first entered the Lake Balatan area we were a bit worried for our day as it wasn't that pretty or interesting. That soon changed with visits to the pennisula and some nice towns on the northshore. Try Echo on the pennisula...outstanding food and views. We visited Soptei winery, outstanding wines and tasting by the owner. I wish I could purchase Soptei wines in the US. We also visited Homola. Beautiful location and wines were very good. I highly recommend this tour if you are in Budapest for 3+ days. It gives you a chance to see more of the country, learn about their excellent wines and get a break from the city. Our 2nd tour was the Budapest Culinary Walking tour. This waas a nice way to see parts of the city which are a bit less traveled. We were able to taste some of the local street food: langos, chimmney cake; and local liquors. The large marketplace is somewaht like the Reading Terminal in Philly, but with Hungarian foods. Fun tip, we bought beautifully handcrafted wooden spoons and kitchen tools at a very reasonable price. The key for this tour was the walking and explanation of the sights by our guide. A fun way to take a walking tour with some local flavors added in. Our guide for both days, Gabor was wonderful. He is very well traveled, caters to your needs and is a great guide to interesting facts and sights not only in Budapest, but the country side too. He also leads tours in Iceland and other locations. Sweet Travel was also outstanding. I've used mnay private tours in other European cities. They are among the best in communicating, follow-up, providing an excellent guide and safe transport. Kata our contact point was very helpful...thank you for helping to make our trip to Hungary wonderul.

We did the full day private wine tour and was not disappointed. Gabor picked us up promptly at 0900 from the hotel . The drive was approximately 1.5 hours from the city center. He asked if we had our swim suits with us as we would be able to take a dip in Lake Balaton if we chose. The day was perfect, from the first winery tour to the wine, lunch and a dip in Lake Balaton. We stopped in quaint Tihany for some exquisite views of the Lake. The lavender was in bloom for an added surprise. Sweet Travel provided prompt response to all communication. Our guide Gabor was very attention and knowledgable. A definite recommendation
