Top Budapest Food Tours - page 2

A good variety of foods to try. It was nice learning about the culture through the food. Our guide Kinga was excellent. She was good about explaining the food and answering questions. We tried some items we had never heard of and would like to go back to the restaurant for more. It was an enjoyable tour with a good group.

what a time!! george was the best guide - funny, knowledgeable and kind. george cultivated such a fun vibe for this tour and showed us all the best local spots. i initially booked this tour solo but left with friends and met so many cool people from around the world. thank you George!!!

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.

We a really enjoyed our cooking class with Emma. She is knowledgeable about Hungarian history, culture and food. We made chicken paprikash from scratch and it was excellent. The recipe was fairly simple so it increases the likelihood we will make this at home. We had a market tour at the Central Market Hall then a short walk to the apartment for the cooking. During the class we got great explanations and everyone was able to participate. Emma is very personable and is a good teacher and communicators. The pace was good and we were never rushed. Overall a great experience that we would highly recommend.

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.
