Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Daniel is a great host and his family is super nice. It felt comfortable and fun right from the start. The fish soup was very good. I'm glad we tried this experience."
"We spent a very special and unique evening with Daniel and his family. We cooked the Hungarian fish soup on open fire. It was so delicious. Daniel and his family were so hospitable and we enjoyed it to be guests in their house for some hours. We can fully recommend this experience of cooking. It made our visit of Budapest perfect!"
"We had a wonderful time with Daniel and his family. It was great to learn how to make traditional fisherman's stew, and to get to participate in the process. The stew itself was fantastic. We also enjoyed a number of pastry creations his wife prepared. And throughout our time there we had numerous opportunities to down shots of homemade pálinka. :-) All in all, a great time was had by everyone. Thank you again!"
"Daniel is a superb host and a 'strict' master (it is called a soup cooking class after all!) - creating a great atmosphere and helping to get acquainted with the feeling of a proper Hungarian garden party. The fish soup takes some effort and time to prepare but it's absolutely worth it! Great time spent there, great food and the experience is just something else. Home cooked fisherman's soup is a must-try. Note: easy with the pálinka, it's tough stuff."

"I didn’t exactly know what I could expect but the host did an excellent job in introducing me to Hungarian cusine through the fish soup. The local setting gave a very real touch to the experience. I am not a great cook but this is a simple dish so I really enjoyed participating in making it. I also loved the pie. It was great fun!"
"I had a great time at the fih soup cooking course. I met a friendly family. I learnt the difference between the Baja and Szeged versions of Hungarian Fish soup. I was taught how to make „match-style” noodles served in the soup. Above all, I got to taste a delicious fish soup, along with other wonders of Hungary, for example the the Palinka , the wine. The desert was Hungarian style apple pie prepared by the host’s wife. I really recommend this truely Hungarian program!"
"Daniel is a great person and the whole cooking procedure is fascinating. The whole experience is super nice, the soup tastes superb and really calming that it takes place in the green suburb. I highly recommended!"
