Top Budapest Food Tours - page 4

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!

Tour guide was excellent. We had 9 people in our group plus 2 others from another group and she managed everything very well. Making sure the pace of speed was comfortable for everyone for example… The one thing I suggest explaining with a little more detail is the order of sweet and salty foods… being from another culture, knowing that, would have helped us get there better prepared.

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.
