Budapest-Half Day Tour to Szentendre - 4 hours

**The guide will meet clients aboard their river cruise ship**

Overview
On the way to Szentendre you'll drive through the former capital city of the Roman province - Pannonia.
This part of Budapest (Old Buda) has several original Roman ruins including two amphitheaters, ruins of the aquaduct (waterpipe) system, Roman baths and the
largest Roman open-air museum in Hungary.

Only 12 miles away from Budapest, the village of Szentendre is the most obvious day trip out of Budapest.
Szentendre was originally settled by Serbian refugees and still retains a South Slav air, not only in the Orthodox churches and Cyrillic-inscribed monuments but also in its Mediterranean townscape. Much of the Serbian population abandoned the city in the 19th century, when it was hit by floods and crop disease.

Szentendre is a town of arts and museums. It gives home to the Hungarian open Air Museum exhibiting the folklore architecture and culture of the Carpathian basin. One of the most visited museums of the whole country, the Kovács Margit Museum where you'll have a chance to admire the artist's statues and figurines.

There are further 14 museums and art galleries acquainting visitors with the rich historical past and teeming life of arts. 

It is not by chance that the quietness of the little town and the closeness of the bustling metropolis of Budapest has drawn over one hundred artists here.

Budapest- Herend and Lake Balaton Tour - 8-9 hours

**The guide will meet clients aboard their river cruise ship**

Overview:
9:30AM: Your private car and guide will pick you up at the pier to take you on a full day tour of the Lake Balaton.

The "Hungarian Sea", is the people's name for the 50 mile long lake with silky green-yellow water in the middle of Transdanubia. Lake Balaton is one of Hungary's most precious treasures and most frequented resort. It is the largest lake in Central Europe. At its center, the depth is 52.5 ft. The southern shores are ideal for small children because of the shallow water. On the north shore the water gets deeper immediately. The summer water temperature of around 80 °F is warmer than the air in the morning and in the evening. The water and the silky mud of the lake are very good remedies for nervous complaints, anemia and nervous fatigue.

 Rich vineyards in the region produce an assortment of excellent wines that go very well with the delicious local food. Large numbers of inns and restaurants welcome guests.  Veszprém one of the oldest towns in Hungary, lies on the banks of river Séd. People call it 'The city of queens', because it was the bishop of Veszprém, who crowned the Hungarian queens.

 Exceptional treasures of Hungarian church history are to be found in this beautiful town. Walk throught the Gate of Hereoes to the fire tower, then to the Archbishop's Archives and Library in the beautiful Baroque archbishop's palace, the Gothic Gizella Chapel, the St. George Chapel and the Queen Gizella Museum. From the Castle which overlooks the city there is a stunning view of the slender St. Stephen viaduct that bridges the valley. The 'Kálmán Kittenberger' Plant and
 Game Park is one of the most attractive zoos in Hungary.

 Herend porcelain, loved by the British and the Austrian dynasties, has won 24 first prizes and gold medals at international fairs. The china factory was founded in 1826 and its products are made entirely by hand. More than 8000 crafted objects from the factory can be seen in the Porcelain Art Museum. The Porcelanium, a mini-workshop, demonstrates the process of making the china.

At the Apicius Restaurant and coffee shop, original Herend porcelain is used on the tables; and there is a gift shop where the visitor can browse and buy favourite pieces.

 After touring Herend, we drive to Tihany, located in a national park. In the town of Tihany, we visit the ancient abbey (founded in 1011) and the almost 1000 year old tomb of King Andrew I. The old streets of Tihany are lined with thatch-roof cottages in traditional style.

Budapest- Jewish Heritage Tour in Budapest - 4 hours

**The guide will meet clients aboard their river cruise ship**

Suggested Tour:

We drive our guests to St. Stephen's Park to see the WWII Victims' Memorial in New Leopold Town - a former middle class Jewish District and then we drive back to downtown to see the World's second largest and Europe's largest Synagogue, the Dohany street Synagogue, with seating for 3000. It was built in the middle of the 19th century in Romantic style for the around 30,000 Jewish community of Pest mainly living in this part of the town. The onion domes are strikingly Oriental-Byzantine, as is the facade: the patterns in the brickwork were inspired by ancient ruins in the Middle East. But for all its exoticism, the design also expresses 19th century Hungarian Jews' aspirations toward assimilation. The twin towers evoke church steeples, and the organ inside the synagogue is a clear concession to Christian tradition. It's gigantic hall rests on cast iron columns and arches - a real architectural novelty at that time. A visit the Jewish Museum in the adjacent building is also included. The museum displays items from the 18th and 19th centuries, from both Hungary and abroad, grouped according to the holiday or occasion on which they were used.

Next to the main building lie the arcades of the Jewish Heroes' Mausoleum and Temple in memory of the thousands of Jewish martyrs who died during the Second World War and the ghetto, created here by German troops during the war.

We also show our guests the Raoul Wallenberg Memorial Garden with our beautiful Holocaust Memorial - the Tree of Life. The monument was created by Imre Varga - a well-known Hungarian contemporary sculptor. Tony Curtis has donated a million Dollars for the construction of the Monument. Our knowledgeable guides explain about the horror of the nazi occupation, the deportations and the liberation of the ghetto.
