This food tour was a lot of fun and I would highly recommend. Anna, our guide, was super friendly and so knowledgeable about food and the city. You also get to visit a bunch of different places and try so many different foods, some walking around the market and others in a more casual restaurant setting. You really get a sense for the culture of Budapest throughout the tour. Would 10/10 recommend for anyone who loves food and wants a cultural experience

Sehr informative Tour mit sehr nettem Guide (Annika). Man kann sehr viel verkosten, von Unikum Schnaps am Beginn, Langos, verschiedene Salamisorten in der Markthalle über Mittagessen in einem typischen Lokal der Einheimischen. Danach gab es noch Kaffee und verschiedene Kuchen in einem Kaffeehaus und zum Schluß noch eine Verkostung von 3 ungarischen Weinen. Am Besten sehr hungrig zu dieser Tour kommen! Klare Empfehlung!
