5.00George was an extremely knowledgeable guide. As a local, he includes interesting local vendors in his tour. He was also a great source of local information. The food stops provided a wonderful introduction to some favourite Hungarian dishes, from pickles and sausage to langos and chimney cakes. Also included was goulash and beer, and a lovely liquor made by George and his family.
George is a great tour guide

5.00This is a must-do if you want to get beyond the main tourist spots and learn about the history, culture, and food of Hungary. George is a fantastic guide, and when he says you will not leave the tour hungry, he 100% is telling the truth. We would highly recommend his tour!
Highly Recommend George!!
