5.00Coming to Budapest as my first solo travel mission was daunting so I booked this food tour in hopes of a bit of learning Hungarian culture and try their delicious cuisines. What I got was that and so much more! Its the slow season so it was just me and George the wonderful tour guide and he made me feel as though I was a friend walking through his town seeing all the best stops. This is more than a guided tour experience, this is an open armed hug into the lovely Hungarian Budapest culture. The food was phenomenal, plenty of servings to leave you full, and the drinks to let you feel a bit buzzzyy! Learning about the origins from George was so effortless, he could be a TedTalk Speaker the way he carries conversation ! I couldnt ask for anything more. Everyone give this tour a chance, you wont regret it ! Thank you !

5.00Thank you George for these few hours of discoveries of Hungarian gastronomy, between small fermented watermelon (extra), varieties of paprika, and the smoking fireplace cake. All in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Sure, George, we'll be back.
