Edith was warm and welcoming. She took the group (just myself and another solo traveller) around like we were new friends. Though I've enjoyed learning about the sociopolitical history of Budapest in another, more structured food tour, I liked that Edith's talking points were more about the context of the dishes and venues, her personal experiences and the conversation was otherwise led by the group. Her easy-going approach to conversations on the tour was complimented by the efficiency of using public transport to cover more ground quickly. I was happy with how much we ate and the mix of sweet and savoury. As a meat eater, I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy the vegan goulash more than the traditional beef (separate to this tour).

A great tour that doesn't feel like a tour

Delicious afternoon!

phil, Mar 2025

I can’t recommend this vegan food tour enough. Our guide, Edith, was not only knowledgeable but also so warm, friendly, and genuinely passionate about both vegan cuisine and local culture. From the moment we met her, she made us feel welcome and at ease. Every stop on the tour was a delicious adventure. The vegan pepeikosh was rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. The vegan goulash soup was just as comforting, with hearty vegetables. And let’s not forget dessert - the chimney cake was yummy. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Edith’s warmth and kindness truly made the tour feel personalized. Her thoughtful recommendations, and constant smile made it so much more than just a food tour. Thank you, Edith, for a lovely afternoon.

Wholesome vegan trip in Budapest

Madhulika_R, Feb 2025

We had a wonderful experience with Edith. She is very kind and very knowledgeable person. She took us to some very authentic vegan experience which made us go there three more times. We enjoyed every detail of the trip and the thing is this vegan tour is so nicely planned around the city so we got lot of tips from Edith on where to go for different activities. We will definitely recommend this tour with Edith.

Edith was such a wonderful tour guide. Not only did we sample some amazing vegan meals, she had so much knowledge about the history of Hungary. We learned a lot! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to eat delicious vegan food and learn amore about Hungary.

Perfectly delicious first day

ornelas6, Mar 2024

We did the vegan food tour with Edith on the first day we arrived in Budapest, and besides going to 4 different food establishments, Edith also pointed out and provided interesting information on historical landmarks throughout the city as we passed them by. And she showed us how to buy tickets for the train. We had goulash, paprikash, pastries, and chimney cake. It was a perfectly delicious first day in Budapest. Edith is friendly and easy to talk to, you can tell she is passionate about her city. She is very responsive, and we were able to spot each other right away. I highly recommend the vegan food tour with Edith

Terrific!

AMAZING VEGAN FOOD TOUR!!

Emily_S, May 2022

Absolutely loved the food tour led by Edith. It was fantastic to be able to eat the local cuisine being vegan. Edith was great company and really helpful giving us information about the area. She also showed us how to get tickets for the tram and validate them. I would highly recommend this tour. Also there is soooo much food included so she means it when she says come with an empty stomach!! We wouldn't change a thing about it.
