This food tour was a lot of fun and I would highly recommend. Anna, our guide, was super friendly and so knowledgeable about food and the city. You also get to visit a bunch of different places and try so many different foods, some walking around the market and others in a more casual restaurant setting. You really get a sense for the culture of Budapest throughout the tour. Would 10/10 recommend for anyone who loves food and wants a cultural experience
