      The best private food tours & experiences with locals

      A city of cobblestone streets, elegant boulevards, and breathtaking Baroque buildings, Budapest is an awe-inspiring cityscape that’s anything but ordinary. And as for its food scene? Well, you’re in for a surprise. The culinary culture is comforting, hearty, and homely – a stark contrast to the magnificence of its “Golden Age” architecture. On food tours of Budapest led by a hungry Hungarian guide, we’ll take you on a whirlwind experience highlighting the tastiest local cuisine. The best restaurants in Budapest are a good place to start, but the city’s food scene is much more diverse. Ready to discover the true heart and soul of Hungarian food?

      Hungry for Hungary

      Goulash is a must-try, but it certainly isn’t the only thing Budapest’s food scene has got going for it. Hungary’s capital city has perfected all its most iconic dishes, and there’s plenty to choose from on the ultimate food tours of Budapest. Perhaps you’ll sample traditional dishes like spreadable bone marrow, a rich dip made with sheep’s milk cheese, and an indulgent sweet treat consisting of a trio of sponge cakes. Can you handle a little more? Forego another Budapest restaurant in favor of a street food stall selling a local staple: fried dough, shredded cheese, and sour cream. Yum!

      Dining after dark

      Budapest is known for being one of the ultimate European party cities, so it only makes sense that the food scene stretches well into the night. On food tours in Budapest, you could easily squeeze in a drink and dance after your late-night dinner. Whether you fancy a quick street food snack at a popular stall, a drink at a rooftop bar housed up in an Art Nouveau masterpiece, a sit-down dinner at a traditional restaurant adored by locals, or a pastry at a coffee house that only shuts at midnight, the Hungarian capital city is overflowing with fantastic food options 24 hours a day!

        Krisztian was an excellent guide! We tasted a variety of different foods, including Hungarian Goulash, little dumplings, and the digestive, Unicom, and truly enjoyed walking through Budapest with a local on a Saturday night who could show us all the great places to eat, and was also knowledgeable about the history that made Budapest what it is today. He was friendly and entertaining, and made it a fabulous night for a couple of 70 somethings. Thanks, Krisztian!

        Richard was flexible, informative, and entertaining as he lead eight of us on a 4 hour private tour. We had proposed an ambitious tour through the Jewish Quarters to City Park and back. However, as we approached City Park and began to flag, he adjusted our plan so that instead of walking back to the hotel we took the underground, which he had told use we should experience, back to city center and closer to our Hotel. Our party peppered Richard with questions and discussions about how Budapest compared to other cities, the origins of the Hungarian language and the Ottoman influences on Budapest. As a history teacher Richard kept the conversation going with interesting insights. We had a physicist amongst use who was ecstatic to hear that Edward Teller went to High School nearby and oohed and awed over the plague on the school listing other Noble laureate scientists who attended the school. Richard knew all the names and the history of the school and scientists. As usual with Viator, arranging the tour, communicating with Richard before hand to customize the tour and meeting up with and being dropped off at the hotel went smoothly and easily.

        Richard took us around town as though we were visiting family. He made the history, [people and life of Hungry and Budapest come alive. He was patient with all our questions and genuinely interested in what we wished to learn rather than follow a scripted tour- can see why it is city 'unscripted'. Richard- thank you! You were amazing. Our 13 and 15 year old loved this as well and were touched by your stories and history. We certainly got to feel and experience the heart beat of this amazing city. THANK YOU!
