5.00We had a fantastic experience with George! He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour feel very personal and relaxed. He showed us authentic local Hungarian spots that we never would have found on our own, and the food was excellent. If you want to experience real local Hungarian street food and culture, this tour is an absolute must. Highly recommended!
Best Food in Budapest is the “Experiences by George”

5.00We had an amazing food tour in Budapest with George, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. George was an awesome host — incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about Hungarian food and culture. We couldn’t believe how many different foods we got to try throughout the tour. Every stop offered something interesting and delicious, and by the end we were completely full. My personal favorite was the lángos — I’m still dreaming about it! The tour was so good and a perfect way to experience Budapest through its food. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city, especially if you want to taste a wide variety of local dishes while learning along the way.
Food and fun with George.

5.00It was a great experience! Mr. George is kind enough to tell us each history in detail!! ^^ It was a satisfying tour to eat Budapest food, food and specialties little by little ☺️ They took us to a local shop in Budapest, where we could taste the real thing and eat everything we wanted on this tour! It is recommended for Japanese people because it explains in simple English ❤️
A tour full of heads and stomachs and breasts / George for a man so good

5.00Don't spend money elsewhere, try it here first and get recommended good restaurants and travel wisely. Really useful and happy tour!! In the middle, you can also gain history and knowledge, which is a tour where the boats and heads are all filled.

5.00Gyorgy was the best guide. Super fun tour and had a lot of great local food. Can't wait to come back and do more tours and classes with foodapest. I'm no longer able to hear a friend is going to Budapest without recommending they do one of the options offered by this awesome company
Great food tour!

5.00This was an excellent experience. Not just the food and wine, but also for his stories and background information. He also provided many recommendations, so do this tour early in your visit.
