We did two events with Agnes - the first was a 4-hr cooking class and then the following day a 2-hr tastings/tour of the Great Market Hall. Both of them were phenomenal!! We so enjoyed cooking with Agnes, learning about the food/country/customs and then enjoying such a delicious meal. She was patient, thorough, and really geared the class to the skill of those involved (two of our group are very seasoned in the kitchen and one rookie). The 4 hours flew by. This is definitely a MUST-DO in Budapest! On the following day, we met Agnes at the Great Market Hall - what a wonderful experience as she guided us through the history, the food, and the experience of the market. She provided such enjoyable and insightful commentary. Again a must-do!
The market tour and cooking class was an amazing experience! In addition to a tour of the market, we learned about food and culture in Budapest and got to taste many delicious foods in the market. The cooking class was hands on but we were guided through every step and again learned a lot about Hungarian culture. The finale was getting to eat what we cooked which was fantastic! Thank you for a memorable day in Budapest!
We had such a wonderful time with Agi! She was such a fun and generous host. There were 5 of us and she was able to give each of us things to do. The food was excellent (seriously, if you’re not familiar with Hungarian food, please do something like this). It was very memorable!
We had a great experience in our market tour. It was lovely getting to know our guide, and learning more about the local culture, while also learning about and tasting must have foods in Budapest. (The market itself is also an event to experience.) Highly recommend to kick of your visit to the district or city.
Agnes was knowledgeable and fun to be with. She shared all kinds of stories about how to cook with spices, vegetables and body parts of animals we don’t use in the US. I highly recommend this experience!
Agnes was fantastic! She is very knowledgeable about the Market, foods of Hungary and the culture. On top of that she was easy to understand and very gracious. We loved her and the market.
Very fun tour around the historic Budapest Market. Tour guide provided a few well selected items from the market for us to taste including Palinka, a traditional Hungarian brandy made from fruit that is 50% alcohol by volume (that was fun!!). Strongly recommend this guided tour with Agnes.
It was such a great experience! We tasted a lot of new products and could ask all our questions. Received great cooking tips and shopping at the market was so much easier after the tour :D
I'm so happy we booked a tour and tasting instead of walking around ourselves. the Market is enormous, with so much to see and taste. Agnes, our tour guide was excellent - proud of her heritage and food culture. We tasted so much - deep fried flatbread with cheese and garlic ( lngos); several strudels; savory scones; sausages and chimney cake. We also learned about the handicrafts and why paprika is such an important spice in Hungarian cooking. Just excellent!
Eating all of the delicious food on offer. Agi was a lovely tour guide. I would highly recommend her.
