"We had the most wonderful afternoon with Andras, eating our way around Budapest. Andras was the perfect choice for us - we have an 18 year-old fascinated with history and politics so Andras’ knowledge and expertise was just what we’d hoped for. He made us feel like we were just friends he was showing around his city, and we were more than happy to be guided by him. Andras took us to the best spots and we loved every one - he even managed to get a picky 13 year old to try everything (almost). Thank you Andras! "
"We had such a great evening with Beata! She was so informative and fun plus she introduced us to so many delicious Hungarian dishes and beverages. We enjoyed our time with her so much!!"

Excellent Intro to Budapest
"My mother and I booked a tour with Zsofia our first afternoon in Budapest. We loved all of our stops and the wonderful overview of the city. Zsofia gave us fantastic recommendations for the rest of our stay and we went back to central market the next day to have a little more sausage and cabbage strudel :) Cannot recommend enough."
"Tibi was an excellent guide. My original guide got sick and had to cancel, I was able to book Tibi for a food tasting in the Jewish area last minute. He worked with my schedule and we had a lovely time wondering around, eating and learning about this historical area of Budapest. I would highly recommend him and would book with him again the next time my travels take me to this beautiful city. "

Bold Bites of Budapest
"We just had the pleasure of taking a food tour in Budapest with Beata, and it was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, Beata was a warm and engaging guide who made the experience both informative and fun. Her passion for Budapest’s culinary heritage really shone through as she shared fascinating stories about the city’s dining traditions and history.
Our adventure began at the iconic Central Market Hall, where we indulged in some of the best traditional Hungarian dishes. The Goulash soup was the perfect start – rich, flavorful, and comforting. We sampled salami, fresh from the market, before making our way through the streets to taste other local delicacies, including mouth-watering sausage, crispy langos and delightful chocolate treats.
We ended our tour with chimney cake, which was a sweet, satisfying way to wrap up the day. Along the way, Beata shared stories about the food, the neighborhoods, and the history of Budapest, making it feel less like a tour and more like an immersive experience. We ended in the vibrant Szimpla Kert, where we could feel the heartbeat of the city – the perfect spot to reflect on the flavors and sights we had just enjoyed.
Beata’s enthusiasm and local expertise made this tour a standout experience. If you’re visiting Budapest, this food tour with Beata is an absolute must!"
"Andras could not have been better. Amazing food, beautiful city and a great insight into Hungarian culture.
Andras has a very interesting back story and is good company. Kids had a ball as well.
100% recommended."

Food delights in Budapest
"This was my first experience with withlocals but what a great way to start my vacation in Budapest. Zsofia was a great food guide and introduced me to different sweet and savoury foods while walking around Budapest. She introduced me to the traditional foods and the background behind them. Zsofia put me at ease from the beginning and was a delightful and relaxed companion. "
"We had an amazing tour with Nelli on our first day in Budapest. We enjoyed the mix of history and cultural information along with a great variety of tasty foods (and drinks) to try. Nelli also gave us great tips for what to see in the city and a place to taste more wine after our tour. We would not hesitate to book another tour with Nelli the next time we are in Budapest!"
