What makes the 2025 Foodapest Tour with Wine Tasting a truly unique experience is the perfect blend of authentic Hungarian flavors, local storytelling, and intimate group vibes. Unlike standard food tours, we go beyond just eating—we connect you to the culture, history, and people behind each bite.
You’ll taste everything from iconic staples like goulash and chimney cake to lesser-known local favorites, all paired with carefully selected regional wines and spirits. Each stop is a mini cultural deep-dive, guided by locals who share not just food, but the stories and traditions that make Hungary’s cuisine so rich.
With a relaxed, small group setting, this isn’t just a tour—it’s a shared culinary journey where you leave full, inspired, and maybe even with a few new friends.

Fabulous Foodapest Tour

5.00I have loved everything about Hungary and the Foodapest tour was the icing on the cake. Ben, our tour guide, was lovely and so welcoming and informative. He really made the tour so relatable. The price of the tour was excellent and we got to eat and drink so many Hungarian treats, so much so that I didn’t need dinner! I can’t recommend this tour enough. And the langos (like a foccacia but better) was delicious. Trust me, choose this tour, it’s worth it! My whole family loved it and we will do it again when we come back.
Fab Food!

5.00Kings was Amazing! She is so knowledgeable and she eloquently described the market. We learned about Hungarian culture, history and food. We also helped cook a delicious Hungarian meal. I went with my wife and 22 year old daughter. We all thought it was a fabulous experience!

5.00Mesi did a great job showing us around to some of the top spots for Budapest street foods! I left with more food than I expected and even an awesome recipe book to make some classics at my home. Highly recommend, I went solo and felt very welcomed!
Authentic Hungarian food and drink experience with personable and knowledgeable guide.

5.00Mesi is very nice, efficient, funny and knowledgeable ! The length of the visit was good, though I would have appreciated a bit more time at the market presenting more food sold there.
Great food, fun group with laughs and jokes

5.00Sofia was our guide, very fun and knowledgeable We were stuffed by the end, worth the price, recommended if you want native cuisine- do NOT recommend if you do not like meat especially variety of pork sausages!
No communication - didn't get to do the market tour as booked.

2.00Kinga was our guide who was great - our negative experience wasn't about her. WARNING - if you go on Sunday, even if you book the morning Market tour, you don't complete a market tour. You only taste street food. This is due to some stalls being closed Sunday. Nowhere on the site is this stated. I went back and checked. On Saturday they sent an email saying it would be a street food tour and to email with questions. I both emailed and reached out on Viatour to see if we could move our date to Monday instead. I never heard back on either platform. Overall not the experience we wanted or booked. No communication. I wouldn't book again.
Food our not to miss.
