Top Budapest Food Tours

The walking tour, hosted by Greg, was informative and great! Greg is a native of Budapest and so very insightful and full of information and stories about the city and the countries history. He is very open to questions and in fact, asks frequently if there are any questions. But Greg also provides useful, first time visitor information and tips. This is a wonderful experience and the apple strudel stop is delicious!

Kinga was fantastic! She was so personable and really made everyone feel welcome. The food was delicious and we were completely full. We loved all the little places she took us and the explanation of everything we ate and drank. Highly recommend this toiur!

Great way to experience Hungarian culture through their food culture. We tasted some typical Hungarian food and drank beer and wine that you would find in a typical Hungarian home, Each dish and each beverage served came with a background story of how it was made and the traditions behind it ! Very interesting and informative tour ….not to be missed!!!

The Budapest Centre Food Tour was a fantastic experience and a great way to discover both Hungarian cuisine and the city's history. Our guide Zoltan was incredibly engaging, mixing fascinating historical insights with humorous stories and local knowledge that kept the tour entertaining from start to finish. We enjoyed a wonderful variety of food and drinks, from traditional Hungarian classics to local specialities, with generous portions and excellent quality throughout. The tour felt very well organised and offered the perfect combination of culture, sightseeing, and delicious food.

There were 6 of us in the group, from 3 different countries. Peter was our guide, a native who speaks perfect English. We had a great time not only tasting different Hungarian food that we had never tried before, but even better time bonding, learning a few Hungarian words and some Hungarian history from Peter. We also got to share and exchange stories and travel experiences. Peter was a great host, personable, fun, and so easy to talk to. We enjoyed our time walking through different neighborhoods, from the Jewish quarters to the Opera House and back to the cool area with many bars with arcade games. All the food, wine and beer choices were excellent, for those who didn’t want alcohol, we were offered the best tasting lemonade (with orange and lime and strawberries), so good! We thought we were hungry, and I tried real hard to pace myself and not finish what was offered. But by stop #3, I was completely full. Stop #4 was dessert which I could never resist. It was a lot of good food for one afternoon. Highly recommend this food tour!

We hit the lottery with Csenge as our guide. She’s young and knows the whole Ruin Bar culture! It was just my husband and I and had a great time with her guide. Great info on the area and history. Don’t miss out on the “palinka” drink…beware 40% abv! Absolutely would recommend Csenge!

Very relaxed evening cruise with free flowing Prosecco, no delaying tactics to limit your access to the Prosecco, full bottles put on your table and replaced as soon as they were empty. Great opportunities to take photos as the buildings were illuminated as the sun set.

This tour might seem expensive but it is worth every penny. We were met in our hotel reception by our driver/guide Arkos who was extremely friendly and guided us to our beautiful BMW 7 Series vehicle with complimentary water which was very welcome. Absolutely luxurious vehicle and very clean and comfortable. We advised that on previous days we had already been to a number of places listed on the itinerary and he explained that as this was a private tour we could decide where we wanted to go. We wanted to spend the most time on Buda side as we love history. Fortunately Arkos has a degree in history and his knowledge and enthusiasm in sharing this knowledge was outstanding and made the tour so much more interesting. He was genuinely happy to be showing us around and he so loved his job. An absolute gentleman and scholar. He took us to places that you would never find on your own. A reflection of his local knowledge having been born and bred in Budapest. We ended our tour on the Pest side of the city which gave us ideas as to where to visit the next day. The four hour duration went very quickly and we wished that we had booked for longer. Great that we could pick our own itinerary and how much time we spent in each location. Thoroughly recommend this company and especially Arkos as your guide / driver.
