We loved this food tour. Andy was knowledgeable, informative and charming. We knew to come with and empty stomach and did not regret it. The range of things we tried as well as the lovely walking portion was just what we were looking for.

Great tour with Angelica. All about food and culture and wonderful overview of Budapest and Hungary. Lots of tasty treats and experiences in a 4 hour walk. Glad we did it.

You do these tours because of what you will learn about the place, people and culture both from the guide and through the food.
This tour was great. Can highly recommend. They are constantly working on making it better and showcasing what they are proud of culturally, and we learned a lot, it was well paced (not rushed and didn’t drag) and gave a great introduction to Hungary and Budapest.

Andy was an amazing guide! We got to try so many dishes, and they tasted much more flavorful and authentic than the highly reviewed restaurants that we found ourselves.
The wine stop at the end was perfect, and one variety was especially unique. We also just loved hanging out with Andy, really chill vibes with great food, drinks, and culture. Thanks for the welcoming and informative intro to Budapest!

Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable about not only food, but history and culture in Hungary. The tour has a great variety of food and drinks in great places.

There were 6 of us on the tour with Andras(Andy) and we all had a wonderful time. We had been on two other city tours, but Andy gave us a lot of new information regarding local foods and customs. We tasted many different types of local cuisine including several things we had never eaten before. This tour was a highlight of our time in Budapest and I would highly recommend it1

It was a really great experience. Our guide was super friendly and gave us a lot of information on the food and on Budapest in general. The food and wine we tasted were all very good and gave a very good taste of Hungarian traditions. Highly recommend it.

I was traveling by myself and absolutely loved this experience. Not only was it fun to try traditional Hungarian foods, but there was so much history and explanation (in a fun way) that I felt like this was an amazing cultural experience and was able to learn and appreciate more about this beautiful country. 10/10 would recommend and do again. I did the 9:30am since the 3pm was sold out and the only thing I wish I had been able to do was go in the afternoon since during Christmas time it was a bit small in the morning. Our guide was incredible and I appreciate him so much for making my solo travel trip so interesting!
Mary_G, Nov 2024
This was a delicious and varied tour of the Great Market in Budapest by a guide who is knowledgeable about its food, culture, and history. Her familiarity with the vendors and products including local beverages and wines made it a great experience!
Raymond_S, Nov 2024
We waited for 20 minutes and no trip leader ever showed. We stood at the main entrance of the market hall as instructed.

Lots of food, interesting and well covered by our guide. I wish that I had skipped breakfast before going, the tour started around 9 and food was being served almost immediately.

All so yummy, fantastic tour, a ton of food and a huge variety. Loved the langos. We stopped by a slightly different restaurant for cakes but the ambiance was amazing and we were serenaded by a violinist. Amazing day and highly recommended. Best of all was the small group setting!

We really enjoyed this experience learning about Hungarian foods. The wine tasting was excellent at the end where we actually purchased wine to be shipped to us in the US. If you are looking for something different to help you understand Hungry better this is a great tour.
