Our Taste of Hungary culinary tour was wonderful. It more than lived up to the reviews we had read. We learned so much about the food/wine of the region. Food and drink to be had at every stop, the butcher, cheese shop, main courses, desserts, wine, etc. What a great experience all the way around. I would highly recommend Taste... More

If you love good food and wine, Carolyn and Gabor's tours of Hungary are a perfect vacation. I've traveled to 50+ countries, often planning my trips around food/wine, and I have to say that Carolyn and Gabor are a couple of the best contacts I've ever had the pleasure to meet. They know Hungary's food and wine culture inside out... More

We did the Culinary Walking Tour last week and had a great time. There was one other person on our tour but the atmosphere was really relaxed (starting with double Unicum at 10am!!) and we tried some great food. Gabor was very informative and ensured that we tried a whole variety of foods as well as recommending other places for... More

First off: Don't think twice - DO THIS TOUR! It will 110% WOW you! We took a private tasting tour with Gábor and had a fantastic experience. (We reserved in advance of our trip). His knowledge of the country, wine, food and all things Budapest was incredible. This is a 5-star, top notch tour. Gabor participated in everything with us... More

This was really an amazing tour. Gabor knew so much about Hungary and the food and wines - he was English speaking and actually lived in NYC for a while so he offered an excellent perspective on Hungary. I really, really recommend this. You will see a beautiful, part of Hungary that you may not have ever known about and... More

If you are interested in Hungarian cusine, like to cook, but have little time in Budapest, the three hour market tour with Gabor is the one to take. Gabor knew everything we wanted to know about the Central Market Hall itself and its wide assortment of spices, cheese, fruits, vegatables, cuts of meat and fish. Especially interesting were his explanations... More

We thought we were being guided by a family member--The Market Tour was fun, informative and very educational. Gabor and Carolyn run a top notch company. They both guide and we had Gabor but we know Carolyn would have been just as much fun. TOPS in every way. More

We had an awesome tour with Gabor of the main market in Budapest and another market a few metro stops away. The markets were beautiful and the produce excellent, we learnt so much. We lunched at Belvarosi Disznotoros which is kinda like a butcher which serves fresh meals, absolutely delicious! Rather than go to the second market which essentially had... More

Gabor was a pleasent and very knowledgeable guide. We saw and sampled foods and visited places we would have missed. I especially enjoyed the fresh sauerkraut. At the end of the tour we went to a superb family restaurant in the Jewish quarter. More

We really cannot think of a better way to have spent one of our days in Hungary. We met Gabor and our group early in the day and rode the (comfortable) bus to the Tokaji wine region. Our group was very small (7 people) so everyone got to know each other very quickly. We toured three small vineyards, trying six... More
