Highlights

Our signature tour introduces local culinary and wine culture through classic flavors, unique wines, history, and stunning architecture. Includes two food markets and more than a dozen tasting stops. Budapest’s first food tour, est. 2008! With our expert guide, you’ll learn all about Hungarian gastronomy, Hungary’s fascinating food culture, and its exciting wine scene.


Our epic food, wine, and culture walk begins at The Central Market Hall—Budapest’s cathedral of food and one of Europe’s largest and most spectacular indoor markets—and continues through several of its most charming neighborhoods. We’ll explore the Ferencváros neighborhood, the Palace Quarter (a vibrant university area known for its splendid old aristocratic palaces), and the Újlipótváros area (almost like a village within the city, with café-lined streets, art deco buildings, spacious parks and cute shops). Our second market hall is off the beaten tourist track, with a great selection of vendors and a local clientele.
