Customer reviews of «Food Tours» tours in Budapest

A great company went on a cruise along the Danube with a sumptuous dinner and traditional Hungarian folklore dances. The food was excellent with four courses, including a welcome drink, soup and main course…

Nice fun activity. Very amazing to see the city at night with lighting. Could have been better with an open boat

The staff were very friendly and helpful. A great way to see Budapest lit up in all it's glory from the river. The pizza was washed down with some really nice local beer. A shoutout to Antony & his partner from Sweden who we met on the cruise, hope you and my daughter Anna both enjoyed having happy birthday sung to you.

Good cruise, plenty of beer, could use a bit more communication with passengers. They never mentioned once that the food was ready it is only because another feisty passenger asked that they handed over takeaway boxes of pizza. I do think that we could have got to the end of the cruise without it being given to us. Also they tried to tell us that dark and fruit beers were not included. So we just showed the description on here and they backed down. Overall the city makes the trip lovely to see it from a different angle.

Great trip, unfortunately for me, my booking didn’t go through correctly, so no pizza. That was disappointing, however, the host looked after me on the beer front, and was very friendly. I was travelling alone, and wouldn’t have felt comfortable mingling fownstairs with the couples/groups, but instead chose to wrap up warm and enjoy the amazing views from the outside top deck. I would advise doing this on your first day in Budapest to help get your bearings for the rest of your trip.

We loved it. Friendly staff and the pizza was delicious too. Whether ready-made pizza or not, we've had worse at Italians. The drinks were also quickly taken care of. In addition, some party mood music which made everything super relaxed. When we saw the other rather stuffy-looking boat trips around us, we were sure that we had done everything right with this. We recommend it.

We had a fantastic time! Food was super fast and the staff were fantastic

We made the night tour my family and I with the unlimited drinks and pizza package, I have to say that the pizza was not bad at all

An unforgettable experience. The cruise and the spectacular views. Although on the same cruise also traveled people who had hired only the trip, without dinner. They sat without consuming anything at the tables intended for travelers who had dinner included and we had to have dinner sitting on deck in chairs without a table, with the food resting on the knees.

"I had booked the cruise on the day of my arrival in Budapest. Due to severe flight delay I missed the scheduled evening. The customer service solved the problem by not making me lose money or the tour, postponing the same to another evening. A very pleasant and relaxing cruise. Beautiful accompanying music and very kind crew. I highly recommend it. "

Great trip up and down the Danube to see the lit up buildings at night. Remember a jacket so you can sit outside as was particularly chilly even on a hot day

Excellent guide, very knowledgeable, good language and suitable pace

The bicycles were good, the pace of the tour was just right. We really enjoyed the goulash and the restaurant was traditional and lovely. Most of all, our tour guide, was attentive, friendly, very informative and good-humoured throughout the tour. We felt safe on the roads at all times, and I would highly recommend this tour.

Kathi was a great guide, the food was delicious and the bikes were super comfortable.

had a really great time with some really interesting history, the tour guide really knew his stuff and spoke perfect english.

Four hours plus might seem a long-time cycling, but there is so much to see. We were able to see many interesting places and the guide was knowledgeable and spoke very good English.

Christina war eine sehr empathische Veloguide. Das Tempo war tipptopp, die Pausen, die Vielseitigkeit. Sie kennt BUD wirklich sehr gut und hat mir ganz persönlich Fragen beantwortet und viele wunderschöne Dinge gezeigt. Ich hatte grossen Spass! Vielen herzlichen Dank.

The tour was very informative and I was able to learn a lot about Budapest! The bikes were in great condition! It was extremely hot but our tour guide was considerate and let us stop in the shade and take breaks periodically ! The beef goulash was delicious as well !

An excellent experience. Carlos was extremely knowledgable and engaging. He was generous with the wines and we were there almost an hour longer than scheduled while we continued to chat and taste additional wines. The cheese selection was almost as good as the wine too! Next time a trip to some of the Hungarian wine regions will be on the agenda.

Really amazing guide, detailed and interesting explanation and rich conversation about Hungarian wine

Carlos was an excellent host with great knowledge of the country and its wines. Totally un pretentious so no need to be a wine expert to enjoy - but knowledgeable enough to entertain someone that can taste weird and wonderful things in a Cab Franc. We really appreciated this experience - thank you

Incredible activity! We learn a lot about Hungarian wines etc… When I come back to Budapest, I would do it again!

Such a beautiful experience! The wine tavern is really cute and easy to find. Our guide John was welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. The wines were varied and had an interesting backstory & overall our experience was wonderful. Definitely recommend, the charcuterie board was a great touch too!

Too expensive for what you get. Not worth the money but a good experience. Adjust the prices and it’ll be perfect.

Ou guide, Betty, was brilliant. Very knowledgeable and thorough and was able to provide recommendations for experiences beyond our GYG trip. Full of knowledge and facts as well as being local so able to share tips and tricks for our onward experience in Budapest. I would highly recommend this experience and would rank it as a necessary trip in anybody’s first visit to Budapest- 10/10!!!

It was a very nice course, sweetly done… 3 Striezel are baked per person

It was an amazing experience. Our cook Betty was very nice and gave us a lot of nice tips to make good chimney cakes.

We had a workshop on chimney cake. We were a group of 7 girls as part of a Bachelorette party. It was great fun and super tasty! It really paid off for us!

Excellent tour. Our guide Monika was superb. A great introduction to Budapest and its history as well as many helpful hints of how to make the most of our visit to the city. Highly recommend this tour.

Balint was very able and friendly. Just enough detail and history. Strudel was excellent

Highly recommend this tour! Our guide, Greg, was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgable and clearly enjoyed sharing the history and culture of the city with us. His passion certainly came through, and we learned so much. He was even able to answer my questions about the geology and tectonic plates of the region.

We were just on a 2 day visit, and were glad that just in 3.5 hrs we could see the majority of important things of Budapest. Monika was our guide, and she was excellent in providing us with the history of Budapest, and also to answer our other questions about the city. She had so much knowledge to share about this city. The strudel house stop was an amazing addition in this walking tour, where we get good 20-30 mins break. Recommend this tour to the tourists who visit the city.

Greg was a wonderful guide! He knew so much—talented in covering 1,000 years of history into a manageable time and making the city “come alive” and personal to each one of us. He has a great energy and welcomed any and all questions. Would highly recommend!

Great walking tour that included Heros' square, dancing fountain, Parliament building, St. Stephen Basilica, metro & bus ride to Buda castle and sightseeing of Fisherman's Bastion, Mathias Church and other sites. Does not include any tickets to go inside any of these places, as that would be extra time/cost.

Super nice guide, she took the time to explain things. Seen a lot and made a stop at the right times. And above all, delicious strudels!

small group size was excellent. The food was well selected to represent Hungarian cuisine and each dish was delicious. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. His English was very good too. We enjoyed our evening very much!

Our guide was really great. We were alone with him and we ate a lot. The gourmet tour is really top notch!

Great evening of food and conversation! Rudy was personable and fun to spend a few hours getting to know!

Rudi brought us to the best spots to try traditional hungarian favourites. He was very informative & fun to hang out with. The food was amazing too

Fantastic tour, highly recommended. Very tasty food, a lot of history, and good fun!

We had an incredible time with George at this cooking class; George has a way of melding the various elements that go into Hungarian cooking perfectly well and creating an experience which we will always remember & cherish. The true meaning of market to table cooking & an experience which anyone (believe me, anyone) can enjoy. I’d like to think that my contribution as the Chief Onion & Tomato slicer was an important one - highly recommend that you book this cooking class on your next Hungarian adventure

Small intimate group setting was perfect for cooking and sampling Hungarian foods and drinks while getting to know Marcel and, Colin the other member of our group.

It was really cool experience. I really liked that there was both a vegetarian and meat dish. Which was perfect for my husband and I. George is such a sweetheart, he did an amazing job with the tour and cooking class. The meeting location was easy to find and the tour began on time; which was very convenient.

Very informative and fun. Great value and a good insight into the culture and people. George is a great host

Great activity. George is very nice and has a lot of patient. Food was delicous, I certainly recommend this activity.

We had such a great time with George. He was easy going and fun to chat with. Cooking with him was enjoyable, not rushed and simple. The food was amazing!!

George and Marcel were amazing! It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed learning about Hungarian culture, history, and food! Paprika is such a magical flavor and experiencing the smoky, sweet, and spicy varieties was a very interesting and great learning experience. It was a lot of fun while making a lovely meal with truly amazing people! Thank you thank you!! I highly recommend it for solo travelers and foodies as an intro into Hungarian cuisine and the central market!

The tasting took place in a small, charming wine bar. I was registered alone and basically had a private tasting. Miki, the owner of the bar, has a lot of expertise and it was a very relaxed atmosphere. There were small Hungarian snacks to eat and the wine selection was really great! I got to know some great Hungarian wines. Thank you for the lovely evening, Miki!

The wine tasting was relaxed and fun - Mickey shared knowledge and stories and we had a great evening. We were able to taste many great Hungarian wines Thank you

Het was een fantastische tour, veel geleerd over de hongaarse wijnmakerij. Alleen maar Fantastische wijnen gedronken.

It was amazing! All the wines are exquisite and the cold cuts were delicious, we had such a blast with Miki. Definitely book it!

Excellent experience, Miki was extremely knowledgable, entertaining and welcoming. Thanks for having us Miki, we had a great time!

We had an amazing experience. Micky was so knowledgeable and entertaining. We tasted some delicious wines and had a great spread of tapas to go with them. Highly recommend!

This is a special event. the host is knowledgeable and yet as a non wine expert he was easy to understand and a lovely and wide selection of wines the food was lovely too. I will be looking out for Hungarian wine for now on.

A must experience while visiting Budapest. Cruising the Danube at night with unlimited drinks was incredible. The views from the boat are spectacular. I highly recommend booking this experience.

Unlimited music and drinks for a nocturnal river trip of more than 70 minutes without explanation, which is good to know. The monuments are splendid at night.

We really enjoyed our time on the unlimited drinks tour. Staff were very friendly and upbeat. Good value for money

Cruise was fun. Unlimited drinks. The music though was way too loud!

The cruise was very good! Service was excellent, staff were really nice and very accommodating especially Salwa who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time! Highly recommend the unlimited booze cruise. Note, spirits and shots are not included in the free drinks but the dry white wine is fabulous!

Budapest is a beautiful city to see day and night, and we really enjoyed our dinner cruise. They met us when we boarded and sat us down at our table with a glass of champagne when we arrived. Magnificent views of the parliament, the chain bridge and other attractions.

This was a first rate cooking class. Set in a lovely kitchen perfect for a small group. Marti has a lot of experience, she not only teaches you about the food, but some Hungarian history too! She even gives gluten free options. The recipies were clear and understandable, I can't wait to make them for my friends. Hungarian food is so different from California cuisine- sure to be a hit.

We enjoyed a fantastic morning in the Hungarian Cooking Class coached by two friendly ladies. We learned a lot, not only to cook very nice dishes, but also about Hungarian habits and traditions. We will certainly use your tips and goals for cooking in the future. Thank you very much for your hospitality and for the very useful ideas!

The cooking class with Marti was an amazing experience. Not only did we learn a lot about Hungarian cooking, but also about Hungarian customs, politics and living in Budapest. The food was delicious as were the homemade lemonades and the wine. We got to taste the homemade sausage and pickles as well! Marti made us feel at home with her warm and open personality and we had a lovely evening filled with talk and laughter and Marti was great with our teen-age son. For me it was easily the best experience during our stay in Budapest!

The entire experience was fantastic! We were very welcomed and had a great time.

We made a very wonderful dinner with Marti and enjoyed talking and spending time with her through the whole event. Would very much recommend this to everyone visiting Budapest

Myself and my sister were visiting Budapest for the weekend and on our last evening decided to book cookery course for the next morning. We were collected from our accommodation and taken to Marti apartment which was beautifully and professionally layed out for our experience we made a three course meal with lots of Marti assistants while eating hungrian snacks, wine and had a wonderful time. After we made everything we sat in the dinning room to indulge in the food we made and were throughly full. This was a lovely experience which was private with us two of us and Marti and would encourage you to do especially if time is limited and want to experience proper hungrian food. After our experience Marti look us to the local bus stop so we could get the bus to the airport.

Good communication with the location. Very nice hostess Martha. Perfect preparations and good information. The recipes are original and traditional with many personal narratives, professional cooking skills and very clean cuisine. Welcome drink and appetizer, good time management. Warm hospitality and empathy. Real Hungarian cuisine.

An absolute must whether you're already a fan of cooking or want to learn. This was one of the best experiences I had while I was in Budapest. Marti was not only friendly, but she was a kind and informational teacher. Her apartment is set up in such a way that in a small group it's like cooking with friends. Marti explains how and why you're doing something for a particular dish, but she also will tell you a bit about the history and cultural background of the Hungarian people. I cannot recommend her class enough to anyone and everyone who loves to cook and especially wants to learn about Hungarian recipes. Marti shares the recipe you made in her class afterwards so you can recall the fun class while you attempt the same thing at home.

Loved it. Marta was a great chef and guide. Had a wonderful time. Would do it again on our next trip.

Very nice and professional cook, great location and perfect preparation. We enjoyed it very much and can recommend, learned a lot and had fun. Strudel was delicious. Thanks Marti, hope to see you again, Love H+P

Marti was super personable and explained everything very well and we were able to take part in everything and eat deliciously at the end. Very nice and clean little studio.

We had a wonderful morning making strudels in Marti’s beautiful kitchen. Everything was super well prepared and all of the little touches were greatly appreciated. Marti shared a lot about the culture of Hungarian cooking, thanks again Marti.

We had an incredible time learning a traditional Hungarian strudel recipe with our enthusiastic guide in Budapest. Highly recommend this cooking course to anyone eager to experience Hungarian culinary delights.

Fun activity for family of 4. All enjoyed the baking session. Friendly, and helpful host with lots of knowledge and interesting stories. Very nice, clean and orderly premises, that were easy to find.

Impressive! A delightful sight from the water to Prague, a wonderful walk along the Vltava River, a wonderful motor ship, excellent service! Musical accompaniment during the whole walk, a very talented group of musicians. And of course a very delicious dinner. We were thrilled! Thank you

Very good. Nice musicians, very attentive, friendly and very professional. We had a great time with them.

It was such a perfect night and worth the money! I organised this on the night of my partners birthday, i let legenda know in hopes i could possible request a window table, little did i know they went beyond this and sung him happy birthday with a candle to blow out in his dessert too! Such a lovely suprise and really completed a beautiful evening! Extra drinks are so affordable and all the staff are lovely, the singers were amazing, thank you for an amazing trip!

I loved!!! We had a great time! The experience is like being on a titanic haha

The best activity I have done in Budapest!! The incredible price includes a glass of champagne and three musicians play Valls during dinner, there are two dancers who take photos with you after the show and the musicians go table by table playing the songs that each table wants to hear, they are charming. A true luxury that must be done yes or yes!!! Plus the boat is beautiful, it's worth it. Of course, the food is not worth it but the activity must be experienced!!! We loved it

Loved the activity. Got a welcome prosecco on arrival and a cocktail. The boat cruise was amazing and saw amazing views of the city. I loved the decor and music. Only negative comments is we were sat in the centre and could hear both sides of the boat playing different music which was a bit overstimulating

It was a really enjoyable time, but we only saw the Hungarian parliament over the whole 2hs

A lovely evening cruising along the river with my family. I booked a welcome drink which was half a glass of Prosecco but aside from that, we all enjoyed it very much! The staff were all very friendly and the violinist was excellent. I was expecting folk dancing which would have added to our experience but we all enjoyed the couple of hours experiencing the boat.

This was 10/10. The staff are super friendly, the boat is stunning, the food was amazing. You get around 4/5 options to choose from on each course so there is something for everyone. The live music was angelic, stunning voices, soothing and beautiful song choices. I would highly recommend this and thinks it’s value for money. I would do it again and recommend it.

2 hours seemed a bit long for the trip. The live music was nice and cheerful. There should be some hot beverage serving in the cold months preferably some tea or coffee.

The overall experience in this cruise from the staff to live music every thing was great. The wine selection for the tasting menu was really good. Got to try the Hungarian special wines.

Everything was excellent, except for the food. The issue of nutrition can be improved. It should not be much, let it be simple, but let it be tasty. More vegetables

It was very funny, good music on the ship, super nice staff, beer and wine always got to the table quickly, as a result they drank quite a lot :) In the evening it is a super nice view of the sights, everything is well lit. Highly recommended.

The cruise was clean, there was amazing views up and down the Danube river, and the staff were also very friendly! Great atmosphere and vibe all around! Would highly recommend!!

Really fun time, great value for money and lovely to see the sights up close at night

it's was really good. The tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. Flavia and Bior. Made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend

It's worth it, it's very nice to walk along the Danube, have a drink with friends, see the city

Value for money beyond expectations Time at the spa is not limited I was able to have a meal on the rooftop of the restaurant facing the Danube. Very good experience

Delicious meal and excellent service at the bistro. There is a lovely terrace as well as indoor tables with views of the Danube. The baths were well marked with temperatures and instructions and I enjoyed the alternating hot/cold experience. The small rooftop bath has a beautiful view, but it was crowded with amorous couples on the weekend. There was more PDA there than at any other bath in Budapest. It was awkward for visitors who weren’t there for that purpose.

Liked the roof terrace and the Turkish bath, but we almost missed it, we didn't know it existed, the food wasn't very good, unfortunately

the food in the rudas restaurant was fabulous definitely worth a visit

Very good experience, we left very relaxed, the meal consisted of a non-alcoholic drink with first and second courses, dessert and coffee, all very good, I would return again if I return to Budapest.

Restaurant very good, baths very good, but man on ‘casa&online tickets’ desk was rude and unhelpful

More information ahead of time would have helped, e.g. map of the facility, knowing a swim cap was needed for the swimming pool.

3 generations on board and everyone loved it. It's a great activity to do.

The bus & the beer was great, for 5 stars i would have liked the driver to provide some guidance as well.

Nice, I was expecting a bit of cultural explanation about spots in the city but it's just a tour. The guide is cool and smiling

The tour was the highlight of our stag party in Budapest. Highly recommended!

Great laugh with mates on a stag do. Plenty of beer on board, comfortable and plenty of room. Lots to see around the place.

A fun and pleasant trip. But don't take it to experience the sightseeing of the city. You just drive a somewhat boring route back and forth at very low speed.
