Great experience and you won't regret spending a day doing the course. We did the market tour first and I would thoroughly recommend it, we discovered two areas of the market we had never visited before and got lots of tasters. My recommendation is that you plan some time in your day for a nap afterwards as we were shattered and pleasantly tipsy!

Description

This tour combines a stroll through all 3 floor levels, guiding you through a Food Section, with some opportunities for tastings, and a Non-Food Section both of which embody the rich Hungarian heritage and culture that is expressed through foods and artifacts such as embroidery, porcelain, clothing and the arts & crafts.

Taste a mouth-watering array of foods such as lángos, Hungarian stew, potato paprikash, chocolate, strudel and much more as you sample the gastronomic delights of Hungary during this 2-hour market and food tour with Agnes or Andrew at Budapest’s largest and oldest market steeped in atmosphere.

Explore the specialty food stalls, see how the locals shop and sample Hungarian savory/sweet specialties.

Along the way you will experience a unique slice of Budapest’s one-of-a-kind culinary culture.

Great opportunity for a traditional Hungarian experience!
Money well spent! Andrew was so helpful and knew so much about the market. He literally showed us everything there was and answered all questions we had with great knowledge of the food there. The food was delicious and there were many new surprising experiences that we tried. We thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you Andrew, Kevin and Siobhan.
Knowledgeable and friendly guide
Great way to learn about Hungarian food and taste authentic local specialities. We used the knowledge we gained during the rest of our trip to avoid touristy food elsewhere.
