Looking for the perfect way to start your night in Budapest? Join us for a relaxed and fun evening of Hungarian food, drinks and local stories, guided by a local food and drink expert with years of experience.
We'll take you beyond the typical tourist spots and into the hidden gems that you probably wouldn't discover on your own - from family-run businesses and local pubs to a small Hungarian brewery and wine shop.
Along the way, you'll taste 12+ Hungarian food and drink specialties, including local beers, wines, pálinka, Unicum and lángos, while discovering what Hungarians actually eat and drink when they go out.
This isn't a typical pub crawl or a formal food tour - it's an evening spent exploring Budapest like a local, meeting fellow travelers, discovering authentic places and getting a real taste of Hungarian drinking and food culture.
By the end of the evening, you'll have eaten, drunk, learned a few Hungarian stories, and hopefully made some new friends.
