Angie was AMAZING! Even before we met for the excursion she was extremely helpful as our group of 6 had another tour just before our foodie tour with her and she was kind enough to coordinate things and actually meet us where our first tour ended (saving us time, keeping us from getting lost, and just making it more convenient for us). She was very knowledgeable, congenial, accommodating and made the time together fun and engaging. She was very generous with the number of foodie offerings and the amounts of each for our group. Angie was a delight - interesting information, enlightening stories, fun foodie places and great food all made the tour memorable and unique. Angie loves Budapest and her passion for the city, its people and its food showed. If we are ever in Budapest again I will be sure to look up Angie for any other tours or excursions! Thanks Angie!

Lorinc was a wonderful guide. He listened to us and what our interests were, and tailored our experience accordingly. We never felt rushed, and he spent plenty of time explaining not only food information but local history. We would happily go on another tour with him.

We had a delightful experience exploring Budapest and tasting some typical dishes. He was interesting and so knowledgeable. He was very interested in making sure we had the experience we expected, and made sure to pace our tour in a way that worked for everyone. We would happily have him guide us again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with Lorinc. He was so knowledgeable about the history of Hungary, and thoroughly engaging throughout our afternoon. He made sure that he provided an experience that we wanted and visited spots and tasted foods that were of the most interest to us in a leisurely and unhurried manner. We would wholeheartedly recommend this experience.
