Budapest Culinary Kickstart with Anna
Anna was a wonderful tour guide for the Budapest food tour. She gave us historical background as we made several stops along the way. Food was good, and her friendly and open personality made for an enjoyable experience.

Insightful
Our time in Budapest with Tiberiu was wonderful. He not only introduced us to “off the beaten track” food, he also was open and insightful with all our questions about Budapest and Hungarian culture. Instead of the typical tourist food he took us to places with local-delicious specialties. The best food on our trip!

Knowledgeable, personable, punctual!
We had a wonderful day with Nicholas exploring Budapest. He understands the history and political changes in Budapest and discusses them in the context of his own family’s experience. Charming introduction to the city.

Fun and fascinating tour!
Nicholas was an extraordinary tour guide who made Budapest history and culture come alive! Nicholas provided valuable context for the historic sites, food, and modern culture of Hungary. He could summarize key events quickly and succinctly, while still diving deeply into details where we had questions. He was warm, friendly, and thoughtful. 10/10!!!

A wonderful walk
Andras was a very in formative guide during our walk through the castle district. He was easy to talk to and readily shared his knowledge about the area and other aspects of life in Budapest. Thanks for a great morning out! It is so much better to be on a private tour than on a large group tour.

Amazing experience!
Nelli is awesome! She is very professional, friendly, and provides a relaxed environment to enjoy the local food. She is on friendly terms with all the local vendors, and her knowledge and explanations makes for a wonderful and educational experience. She is also very good at making adjustments for food restrictions/allergies/intolerances. 100% recommend for anyone to book with her!!
