“Fanni was able to transform a blistering hot afternoon in Budapest into a wonderful tour of the city, going into great detail about all the food along the way as well as into the history of the neighborhoods we were exploring. The tour included Hungarian Goulash, samples from various vendors at the Central Market, sausages, pickled vegetables, Lángos, chimney cakes, beer and Pálinka shots at locations across the city. Fanni was wonderful — she offered a real local’s perspective on the foods and the city. All in all, a great experience!”

“Absolutely fantastic way to experience the culinary delights of Budapest! We arrived early at the Great Market Hall where we met Dalma (so we could explore it a bit). When Dalma arrived we got to try an herbal liquor, several types of sausages, Hungarian cottage cheese, goose liver pare, smoked Gouda, some different breads, plum marmalade and some pastry THEN we left the market and went to try langosh. Dalma taught us a lot about the culinary background of the Hungarian people mixed in with some of the country's history. Very interesting and informative. I highly recommend!”
