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

    Balaton is a very large lake, so the guide's recommendations were perfect for getting 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.
