Such a great way to taste some of Budapest’s most popular foods! Our tour guide Kitti was so kind, informative, and enthusiastic. She gave us some great history tidbits and introduced us to Hungarian food favorites including street food and alcohol. I loved that we were able to get a feel for both the street food and the normal day to day cuisine. My favorites were the Yellow pea soup and the pork stew. Both were absolutely delicious, and the restaurant workers were so kind and accommodating. We had a pretty large group, but Kitti made it work. If I were to change one thing about the food tour, it would be to give and option for dessert (maybe between two different ones). Many people in our group weren’t really a fan of the Jewish Flodni and would have preferred a traditional apple strudel. All in all, it was an excellent tour and I’d highly recommend to anyone who is looking to experience women delicious Hungarian food favorites!

We absolutely loved doing this tour! Peter was our tour guide and he was so friendly, funny and knowledgable. It was great to enjoy a real taste of Hungarian food and understand a bit more about how locals enjoy the food. He even organised a short notice special birthday surprise for myself, which rounded the evening off perfectly. I would highly recommend this tour! Thanks Peter!

Such a fun night, had a great time meeting new friends! A very welcoming environment, and Laura the guide was super engaging, made it a very fun night! Would definitely recommend

Amazing mix of history, myths and legends with a great performance in acting and Storytelling by Bernadette. Highly recomended tour
