This was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Budapest. Aggie was an incredible host from start to finish. We began with a market tour where she explained the history behind the market, the ingredients and Hungarian cuisine, then returned to her kitchen to prepare an amazing meal together.
The food was outstanding...easily our favorite meal of the entire trip.
One thing that really set this experience apart was the market tour. Instead of just showing us around, Aggie taught us how to distinguish authentic, high-quality Hungarian products from the lower-quality tourist souvenirs and foods. We came away knowing exactly what paprika, wines, meats, and other specialties were worth buying and what to skip.
I was traveling with my 16- and 19-year-old sons, and Aggie did a fantastic job engaging them throughout the day. She made the experience interactive, fun, and personal, and both of my boys were involved and engaged from beginning to end (not an easy thing to do with two teenagers).
If you're looking for more than just a cooking class, this is it. You leave with incredible recipes, a deeper appreciation for Hungarian culture, practical knowledge you can use while exploring Budapest, and memories you'll be talking about long after your trip. I can't recommend Aggie highly enough. If we're ever back in Budapest, we'll absolutely do it again.

Must-do activities for your stay in Budapest!
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!

Amazing experience, delicious food!
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!

Fun, delicious cooking class!
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!

Fabulous start to our first time in Budapest
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.

Highly recommend
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!

Wonderful 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.

Budapest Market Tour with a Local is a Must.
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.

So many new tastes
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

Excellent tour and tasting
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!
