ブダペストユダヤ料理＆カルチャーウォーク

We had a great private walk with a knowledgeable, flexible, and energetic guide. Eszter was kind enough to adjust the tour to start much earlier, and clever enough to adjust it on the day-of to account for rain and unexpected closures. We enjoyed learning about the unique history of the Jewish population in Budapest while sampling all of the local food and snacks. The overall feeling was like visiting a distant town that an old friend grew up in where they tell you all about their culture and history while treating you to the best food in the city. The most memorable moments for me were when we took some time to sit beside an important monument (like the apartment complex that was the original epicenter of Jews in the city, or the first big grand synagogue on the city) while drinking a coffee or eating a pastry (pulled out of a box in the fridge because only the locals ask for it!). The slower, more casual pace of eating together gives you more time to reflect and have a conversation about what you are learning instead of feeling rushed along by a tour guide on a tight schedule.

It was so great to have such a knowledgeable guide! I only wish I could remember her name. My husband and I really enjoyed the tour. My dad's family was from outside Budapest. Such a beautiful city.

This was a wonderful experience, very small group, excellent information and very yummy food tastings. Gabor led us and he was experienced, warm and knowledgeable. Loved our traditional stuffed cabbage, local cheeses from the marketplace and other items. I recommend this tour.

The Jewish Culture and Food walking tour with guide Eszter was amazing! She has a very pleasant personality and was very knowledgeable about the history of the Jewish Quarter and the local foods. My husband and I were very lucky to be the only 2 persons to be with Eszter, just like a private tour. The dishes we had were very tasty and not familiar to us. We were able to tour the inside of the more conservative synagogue, which is very beautiful inside. The tour ended at the famous ruin bar Szimpla Kert with a shot of palinka! Thank you so much Eszter, we had a wonderful time with you.

Eszter is an amazing tour guide. We learned so much about the Jewish history in Hungary as we walked the area and stopped for traditional Jewish foods along the way. Eszter kept it interesting and was patient with our many questions. She kindly gave us a list of recommendations tailored to our stay. Excellent experience!

Orsi gave us an amazing tour - furthering our education in Budapest. Her knowledge gave us a deeper understanding of the city's history and culture. Her food choices were incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed this culture & cuisine tour to further our experience in Budapest.

This was a wonderful tour!! Anna was extremely knowledgeable about history and cuisine. We really enjoyed our time with her and learning about Hungarian Jewish history. Plus, the matza ball soup was AMAZING!! Would highly recommend this tour, especially with Anna!

The guide was spectacular. They were very informed. The food was great. That is all I wish to state.

We toured with George who was very knowledgeable about Jewish history. There were 4 of us on the tour. He took us to the small synagogue and we walked around for about 2 hours with really no stopping. We then had a traditional Hungarian Jewish lunch with wine and then we toured for about another 45 minutes and he said goodbye. While I thought the tour was good, it was not as advertised. We stopped nowhere else to try any drinks or food offerings. Don’t get me wrong, after lunch I wasn’t even a little hungry but the tour I was expecting was more walk a little try something, continue and that’s not what it was. He also did not end where we started. When the 4 hours hit, he said goodbye and it was up to us to figure out where we were. It was a nice tour overall but not as advertised.

Anna was outstanding Very knowledgeable and well organized itinerary— good food to try. A must in Budapest
