5.00A great introduction to authentic Hungarian foods with the added bonus of interesting information & context around Budapest history and customs. Our guide Emőke was knowledgeable, friendly, warm, and made the experience a lot of fun.

5.00Great food tour and Nick was great fun and very knowledgeable. We both took all his recommendations about where to eat after and it was a perfect way to set up our City break in Budapest.
Great guide, Disappointing Tour for the Price

3.00This tour left a little more to be desired. First, let’s start with the positive: Gabor, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and full of historical information on the origins of each food or drink as well as the history of the food. He was great. The tour was originally meant to be a 2 hour food tour. Our tour was finished in 1 hour. We traveled to two places. At the second place, Gabor brought food and drink from other locations (cold chimney cake, Palinka and souvenir glasses, and a popular candy bar). We ate quickly, and felt slightly rushed. Traditionally, in our experience with prior food tours, part of the charm is visiting local spots, engaging with local merchants, and actually eating the food when it is freshly prepared and hot. The first stop was cafeteria-style with food that had been prepared and sitting for a time. On our second stop we had freshly prepared langos which was delicious. We came to find that the second stop was our only other stop. Gabor took cold chimney cake from his bag, as well as candy and palinka. I was hoping for a more rich experience and at the price point fo our tour (almost $100/person) I fell very let down. Again, Gabor was very nice but the locations chosen and the lack of freshly prepared food or experience made this a tour I will not recommend.

5.00This is a private tour. Andras is a very engaging host, and he also told us a lot about the history of Hungary. We went to two restaurants, a pastry shop, and made three stops within the Grand Market. All 6 stops were great.
