Our Budapest Food Tour was one of the highlights of our trip! From the moment we met our guide, Estee, we knew we were in for something special. She was warm, knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and cuisine of Budapest.
We began in the historic Jewish Quarter, where Estee brought the area’s fascinating history to life before introducing us to authentic Hungarian specialties. Every stop was thoughtfully chosen, and each dish had its own story. We sampled a wonderful variety of traditional Hungarian foods, from savory street food and hearty local favorites to a delicious dessert and even a taste of Hungarian pálinka.
If you’re visiting Budapest, this tour is a must! Ask for Estee if you can? she made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend! 🇭🇺🍽️

The food stops were very good and some included beer or wine. the portions were sufficient. It was a nice size group and our guide, Agnes, did a great job. It was difficult to hear her sometimes since the streets can be noisy.

Fantastic guides Peter and Kiki were warm friendly and very knowledgeable about food wine and Hungary in general
Pauline_T, May 2026
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!

A great way to experience local foods and see the neighborhoods along the way! Péter is knowledgeable, articulate and an excellent guide!

Thank you, Kitti! What a fun afternoon on your food tour! Stops were all very different, portions were generous and packed full of flavors. Kitti was engaging and knowledgeable, prepared to accommodate any food sensitivities and made sure everyone was looked after. Even though the stops were few, they were all informative! Tip: skip breakfast if you’re doing an early afternoon tour.

This was a great introduction to Hungarian food and drink and a great way to explore the 6th and 7th districts where lots of places to dine are located as well as the ruin bars. Kelly was a great host and was very informative and sent us a follow up with what we had to eat and drink along with other dining recommendations for the remainder of our stay.
