5.00The food tour with Nelli is a wonderful way to begin a visit to Budapest. She provides information about the food (and tastings!), culture, and history. Nelli is also very easy to be around. She made us all feel like long time friends. This was definitely one of the highpoints of our trip!

5.00Nelli is fantastic. Her pre tour communication was excellent. Her instructions where to meet were perfect. The tour took us to places we would never find on her own. She was very accommodating about our dietary restrictions. Most of all she was fun, vibrant and her knowledge of history was amazing. Highly recommended you book with her.
Loved it!

5.00We had an amazing food tour in Budapest with Nelly, and we absolutely loved it. She was incredibly warm, friendly, and made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. What made this experience special is that she took us to local places we would have never discovered on our own as tourists. The food was delicious, authentic, and full of history, and Nelly explained everything with so much passion and knowledge. It felt less like a tour and more like spending time with a local friend who truly loves her city. If you want to experience Budapest beyond the typical tourist spots, this food tour with Nelly is a must. Thank you, Nelly, for such a memorable experience!
Amazing hostess to Hungary!

5.00We had an amazing experience with our host to the tastes of Hungary, Nelli. She was engaging and answered our many questions and we learned a lot about the culture of Hungary and how the many years of different outside influences have left their gastronomic touch but how Hungarians have held on to their independent culture throughout. Very enlightening experience and exposure. We always love doing a food tour wherever we travel as you get to experience the culture and country with taste in addition to sight and sound and Nelli was one of our favorites for sure! Passionate about her homeland and welcoming and seemed genuinely excited to share her culture and foods with us. Our entire group loved it. We look forward to meeting Nelli again in the future for other tours in Hungary!
Delicious Knowledge

5.00Nellie's magnetic personality is the first thing I noticed. She is very knowledgable and passionate about both history, and food, and how they intertwine. We wandered through the market tasting and smelling all it had to offer. Then we took the trolley to the Jewish Quarter to have "lunch" (again). This was very helpful because I hadn't used the public transport yet and I saw just how easy and useful it was. We got the the next taste and then the next and then the next and all along the way there were constant tidbits of details I would have never noticed had she not pointed them out. If you come to Budapest, Nellie is an absolute must! My week will continue to be so much better just in one morning visit with her.
Best guide you can book in Budapest.

5.00I have been visiting Budapest for many years. Thanks to Nelli, I have now been able to get to know this city in a completely different way. With her open and warm manner she knows how to inspire and with her professionalism, she is extremely flexible and customer-oriented. Their reliability and punctuality were always relied upon and the communication clear and friendly. Her outstanding language skills in English and German also make her a perfect companion to bridge language barriers. Thanks for the great time!
Best food tour in Budapest

5.00Nelly’s food tour in Budapest was truly unforgettable. She was incredibly happy, always smiling, and very accommodating. Her knowledge was extensive, and she shared fascinating local stories along with amazing food tastings. In a city where people might sometimes be less friendly, Nelly was truly the best thing that could have happened to us during our time in Budapest.
Love Budapest!!!
