From market stalls to a tavern table

The tour starts at the Central Market Hall and moves through stalls and local spots off the tourist trail: cold cuts, pickles, a Hungarian spirit, goulash soup and lángos, then wine tastings, chimney cake and a Hungarian dessert.

With at most 12 guests, the pace is conversational and the guide explains the history behind each stop.
