Angie was amazing!

Peter_G, Sep 2025

Angie was AMAZING! Even before we met for the excursion she was extremely helpful as our group of 6 had another tour just before our foodie tour with her and she was kind enough to coordinate things and actually meet us where our first tour ended (saving us time, keeping us from getting lost, and just making it more convenient for us). She was very knowledgeable, congenial, accommodating and made the time together fun and engaging. She was very generous with the number of foodie offerings and the amounts of each for our group. Angie was a delight - interesting information, enlightening stories, fun foodie places and great food all made the tour memorable and unique. Angie loves Budapest and her passion for the city, its people and its food showed. If we are ever in Budapest again I will be sure to look up Angie for any other tours or excursions! Thanks Angie!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you so much for your incredible feedback! We are absolutely thrilled that you had such a memorable experience with Angie. We're so glad you enjoyed the food, the stories, and Angie’s passion for Budapest. She truly loves sharing the city’s rich culture and cuisine, and it means a lot to know that it came through during your time together. If your travels bring you back to Budapest, we’d love to welcome you again.

Great food tour

Marsha_B, Jun 2025

Lorinc was a wonderful guide. He listened to us and what our interests were, and tailored our experience accordingly. We never felt rushed, and he spent plenty of time explaining not only food information but local history. We would happily go on another tour with him.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

We are delighted that you had such a positive experience with Lorinc. He takes great pride in creating personalized tours, and it's wonderful to know he was able to tailor the experience to your interests and make you feel relaxed and engaged throughout. Thank you so much for your lovely review and we’d love to have you join us again on another tour in the future!

Great tour

Mark_J, May 2025

Great tour,, tried a wide range of foods and Kristian showed us neighborhoods we wouldn't otherwise have seen.

Response from Host, May 2025

It’s always our goal to show guests the side of a city they might not discover on their own, so we’re thrilled that your tour was full of new tastes and surprising sights. Thanks again for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure soon.

Excellent introduction to Budapest!

Michael_B, Apr 2025

This was a well-led walk through some of Budapest’s lively neighborhoods. Guide Agnes quickly adapted her plans to match up with my interests, making it a very personalized experience. We sampled food, discussed local art, culture and history, and all in a relaxed way. This is a great way to experience a city for the first time.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

What a wonderful reflection—thank you! It’s always so rewarding to hear when a host like Agnes creates a personalized, relaxed experience that really connects with your interests. Sounds like a perfect first glimpse into Budapest’s vibrant heart!

Excellent food choices....

James_V, Mar 2025

Excellent food choices. We certainly felt like we were eating like a local. The historical stops between tastings were both relevant and interesting to us. Great time all around.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

That sounds like the perfect mix of delicious bites and meaningful history! So glad you enjoyed eating like a local and soaking up the stories along the way. Hope we get to host you again!

Great food and great coversation with Krisztian!

Doris_N, Sep 2023

Krisztian was an excellent guide! We tasted a variety of different foods, including Hungarian Goulash, little dumplings, and the digestive, Unicom, and truly enjoyed walking through Budapest with a local on a Saturday night who could show us all the great places to eat, and was also knowledgeable about the history that made Budapest what it is today. He was friendly and entertaining, and made it a fabulous night for a couple of 70 somethings. Thanks, Krisztian! . Thanks, Krisztian!

Great Food, Great Guide

Eary_W, Sep 2023

We paired this tour with a general sightseeing tour to get a good feel for what Budapest has to offer in one day. Our guide was Krisztian who was extremely flexible with meeting us in a new location due to our first tour running a bit long. The food was amazing. We focused on trying Hungarian dishes which, of course, was a major reason for the trip. I'd give this tour 4.5 stars if the system allowed it. The purpose for not giving this a full five star review is that I walked away wishing we had the opportunity to have more dishes or more restaurants on the agenda. That said, the conversation we had with Krisztian about Hungarian history and culture was fantastic and perfectly complemented our morning tour.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that Krisztian’s flexibility and insightful conversations added so much to your day in Budapest. Your feedback about wanting more dishes or restaurants is much appreciated and helps us refine future experiences. We're glad the Hungarian dishes and cultural insights made a memorable impression, and we hope you’ll join us again to explore even more!
