We had a great experience with our guide, who tailored the tour specifically for us, which was greatly appreciated bc one of my kiddos ended up not feeling great. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and was an all around great guide! Highly recommend!
It’s wonderful to know our host's knowledge and friendly approach helped make the experience enjoyable for your family. And we're so glad you had a great experience and that your guide was able to tailor the tour to your needs, especially with your little one not feeling well. Thank you so much for your kind feedback!
Angie was AMAZING! Even before we met for the excursion she was extremely helpful as our group of 6 had another tour just before our foodie tour with her and she was kind enough to coordinate things and actually meet us where our first tour ended (saving us time, keeping us from getting lost, and just making it more convenient for us). She was very knowledgeable, congenial, accommodating and made the time together fun and engaging. She was very generous with the number of foodie offerings and the amounts of each for our group. Angie was a delight - interesting information, enlightening stories, fun foodie places and great food all made the tour memorable and unique. Angie loves Budapest and her passion for the city, its people and its food showed. If we are ever in Budapest again I will be sure to look up Angie for any other tours or excursions! Thanks Angie!
Thank you so much for your incredible feedback! We are absolutely thrilled that you had such a memorable experience with Angie. We're so glad you enjoyed the food, the stories, and Angie’s passion for Budapest. She truly loves sharing the city’s rich culture and cuisine, and it means a lot to know that it came through during your time together. If your travels bring you back to Budapest, we’d love to welcome you again.
Lorinc was a wonderful guide. He listened to us and what our interests were, and tailored our experience accordingly. We never felt rushed, and he spent plenty of time explaining not only food information but local history. We would happily go on another tour with him.
We are delighted that you had such a positive experience with Lorinc. He takes great pride in creating personalized tours, and it's wonderful to know he was able to tailor the experience to your interests and make you feel relaxed and engaged throughout. Thank you so much for your lovely review and we’d love to have you join us again on another tour in the future!
Great tour,, tried a wide range of foods and Kristian showed us neighborhoods we wouldn't otherwise have seen.
It’s always our goal to show guests the side of a city they might not discover on their own, so we’re thrilled that your tour was full of new tastes and surprising sights. Thanks again for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure soon.
This was a well-led walk through some of Budapest’s lively neighborhoods. Guide Agnes quickly adapted her plans to match up with my interests, making it a very personalized experience. We sampled food, discussed local art, culture and history, and all in a relaxed way. This is a great way to experience a city for the first time.
What a wonderful reflection—thank you! It’s always so rewarding to hear when a host like Agnes creates a personalized, relaxed experience that really connects with your interests. Sounds like a perfect first glimpse into Budapest’s vibrant heart!
Excellent food choices. We certainly felt like we were eating like a local. The historical stops between tastings were both relevant and interesting to us. Great time all around.
That sounds like the perfect mix of delicious bites and meaningful history! So glad you enjoyed eating like a local and soaking up the stories along the way. Hope we get to host you again!
Completed an incomplete and unorganized food tour with Agnes. My son and I started the food tour at a local indoor market and half the market was closed, and were limited to trying pastries. We later stopped by a corner shop pastry place called Vaj. I felt this was an establishment was not unique and people stopped by for coffee and pastries. Agnes then attempted to find local places to eat and all three restaurants were closed. Agnes mentioned every time she was 99% sure the restaurants are open and were not. She then attempted to see and try another two places and after one hour of walking, I decided to end the tour. The food tour was poorly planned and our tour guide should have planned ahead of time to ensure the establishments were open for business. Instead of relying on Google to check if the establishments were open, Agnes could have called the restaurant instead. I do not recommend this food tour to potential customers and certainly not worth $241 USD.
Hello Jane, We completely understand your disappointment, especially considering the anticipation and investment involved. More thorough preparation and communication were certainly needed to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. We’re glad we could resolve this directly with you and truly appreciate your feedback as we work to improve our procedures and host training. We hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide the memorable experience you were looking forward to. Warm regards, Ruslan and the City Unscripted team.
Kristzian met us at our hotel. After asking us what we were interested in doing, he decided that a tour of the Food Market was what we would do. As we walked to the market, he told us about the history of the area we were in. At the market, we toured the first floor filled with local foods and alcohol. On the second floor, we decided to try some traditional Hungarian dishes that were very good. We left the market and traveled by public transportation to a pastry shop where we had pastry and lemonade. We concluded the tour with Kristzian sharing additional information about his city.
Hello, Thank you for sharing your walking experience with our host Kristzian. We are glad you spent a wonderful day in Budapest.
Angie was just great! She really took her time with our family and had wonderful places for us to visit that were not the typical touristy places. She gave us great insight into the food and culture of Budapest. We all would highly recommend her. It was a pleasure to meet you, thank you!
Hi Suzanne, great to hear you enjoyed your time in Budapest and the delicious food! Your positive review? It warms our hearts. Many thanks to you!
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! . Thanks, Krisztian!
