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!

What a fantastic way to experience Budapest! Our Culinary and Wine Walk was one of the highlights of our visit. Anna was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Hungarian food, wine, and culture.
We started by tasting local specialties and treats at the Central Market Hall, then continued through different areas of the city, sampling more Hungarian favorites along the way. Anna did a wonderful job explaining the history and traditions behind everything we tried, which made the experience much more than just a food tour.
The perfect ending was a tasting of Hungarian wines, followed by coffee and delicious desserts. Great food, great wine, and a wonderful introduction to Budapest.
Highly recommend this tour, and especially Anna!
This is one of the best food and wine tours ever. I think this company does a great job and I will seek them out whenever we travel. Bali was our guide and he was great! He spoke very good English but his time of voice was perfectly loud enough so we could all hear. He also had the perfect pace for the tour. We loved the food choices along the way and I loved seeing Margaret Island and the cute residential cafes. The cap on the trip with a coffee and dessert just after the wine tasting was a perfect finish! Thanks Bali!
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.

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
Handled well, great guide and excellent food and wine-perfect! Good view of market, foods of Budapest and awesome dessert with pairing on wine.
Eszter was excellent. What a great tour and experience. She is so knowledgeable and explained everything. We truly enjoyed this tour. Thank you Eszter.
Great, knowlegable tour guide! Good mixture and representation of local food and wines. Ample bathroom and rest time. Relaxed walking pace. Highly recommend.
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.
Very nice food tour of the city - got to eat lots of Hungarian local dishes and experience the city.
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!
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!
We waited for 20 minutes and no trip leader ever showed. We stood at the main entrance of the market hall as instructed.
Absolutely fantastic. The food was perfect the host talk though everything and was so friendly
It was the perfect way to Experience the local food Culture And life
What a lovely tour. Eszter was friendly , full of knowledge and very conscientious about cleanliness which we really appreciated. Our tour was more than expected and we enjoyed every second . Thank you Eszter for such a wonderful and welcoming experience.
Excellent! The guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. The tour was a must see and highly recommend it!
Charlotte was knowledgeable and the route and pacing of the food stops was perfect. Highly recommend.
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.
Excellent guide Daniel who knew not only foods but history and Architecture and more. Expert at his job. Sensational time.
Daniel shared his insight and passion for the cultural and culinary history of Budapest. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
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!
This was by far our favorite tour in Budapest!!
Barbara our guide was so welcoming and knowledgeable as she walked us around Budapest and exposed us to foods and wines!!
Excellent tour. Ester was an amazing guide. The variation of experiences and food was fantastic. Everyone on the tour was stuffed. Could not ask for a better introduction to Hungarian food. Highly Recommend.
Anna was such an excellent tour guide-very knowledgeable of Budapest history! She made our food tour so much fun a d we tried all kinds of delicious Hungarian foods and wines. Would definitely recommend this fun excursion and also request Anna if you can!

What a great food tour! Our guide Aniko was superb. Not only did she present us with excellent food and drink, she also provided detailed descriptions of important events in Hungarian/Budapest history. The food was exceptional. I highly recommend this tour and thank you Aniko!
Food was outstanding with explanations of their origins and transitions over time. Venues were perfect. Knowledge and preparation of guide made it all work seamlessly for a wonderful experience.
