Goulash is a soup here, lángos comes buried in sour cream, and the chimney cake at the Great Market Hall is still warm when it reaches you. These 15 food tours and tastings are the ones worth the appetite: what you eat on each, how many stops there are, whether wine or pálinka is poured, and how long you should leave afterwards before dinner.

“I booked it last minute but was running a couple minutes late, there was no fuss and they waited around for me. It was a good mix in the group and was only 7 people so made the tour very good and easier, because we didn't have to stop all the time, and we could take more time taking photos and asking questions. The guide was great, she said she'd only been doing it for a few months but her knowledge of the city was immense. She did a great job. It was really good because we got lunch with it and it tasted pretty good. Good value for money.…”
