Overview of your Budapest tour

As I was born and grew up in the countryside in a small village and spent my adult life in Budapest I have a great understanding both faces of Hungarian culture (Budapest versus everything else. ). We are going to explore all the major sights of the city by private air-conditioned van with a driver combined with some walking, but also I am going to show you some hidden gems as well. Let's enjoy this tour even more with a lunch break in a nice Hungarian restaurant, followed by seeing some more sights and having a great Hungarian cake in a traditional confectionery! There are actually 3 food events fully included in the price - first, Hungarian food tasting from Monday to Saturday at the Central Market Hall and on Saturday in the Szimpla Farmer's Market (cheese, sausage, salty cones). The second one in the afternoon will be a 3-course lunch (starter, soup and main course with a glass of wine and a traditional Hungarian alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink). The third one is a cake and a hot drink in a café.

Barbara is a skilled and friendly guide. She put together this custom tour for us and it was perfect. A lovely mixture of expertise and deep knowledge of the area and the subject matter. She kept the pace just right for the group and was adept at watching our interest and energy levels. It was a great day in Budapest. We recommend Barbara's tours highly.
