I’m Andrew, I was born and raised in Budapest. I used to work as a sous chef in the US, and as a line cook in a 2* Michelin restaurant. I have been a culinary instructor and a market tour guide since 2012. If you have ever been to a market, and you wondered what the locals do with all the stuff, which food stalls to visit, where to buy your souvenirs or just wished you have a local friend, then you came to the right place.
Join me and I will take you to the ultimate cultural, culinary market tour this city has to offer.

Learn about our history and culture through sampling some of the famous dishes this market has to offer. You will get personalized suggestions. Your questions can be answered like only a local can answer them. The tours are short they, very informative and filling. This way you can leave with a belly full of delicious food, and knowledge.

We might meet as strangers but we will leave as friends so come along for this private guided food, and cultural tour.
