5.00Do not miss this experience. George is a local who shares the history and the love of Hungarian food. The tour of the central market including cherry pickles. After the market we went to local restaurants for true Hungarian food including lunch and chimney cakes. It was a small group so he could spend time answering all our questions. The best tour we took to experience local culture.
You will not be hungry. ...

5.00You will not be hungry. Food was delicious and George even gave us a taste of his family's palinka (which was the best I had). Gave us a good tour of the central market and outside restaurants. Highly recommended!
