Very good tour and excellent guide. - Loda was both funny knowledgable and extremely friendly. She explained not only our food and history but lots of facts about the history of the areas we visited and was a delight. The food was delicious especially the desert.

This tour is brilliant if... - This tour is brilliant if you want to sample the local food and learn more about Hungarian cuisine and culture. Peter was a FANTASTIC tour guide - very attentive to the needs of the group, super knowledgeable, and had some great recommendations. On our tour we tried Lángos with sour cream and cheese, Goulash soup, Pörkölt with Nokedli (pork/egg with dumplings) and Somlói cake. We also got to try some local beer, Pálinka, and Tokaji dessert wine. He even followed up with us with all the things we ate and where so we didn't have to make notes and could enjoy the evening as a group. Would highly recommend!

Great Beginnings in Budapest - A wonderful tasting experience and introduction to normal (non-touristic) Budapest culture. We even got to see a Ruin Bar.
