Budapest - Obuda Food Tour with 8+ Tastings & Local Wine
Description
Budapest tells two different stories through its food, and this tour lets you pick which one to taste. Choose Óbuda, the city's oldest quarter, built over Roman ruins, where a working butcher shop, a restaurant with over 125 years of history and a local cafe unfold across 8 tastings of Hungarian sausage, lángos, fánk and homemade strudel. Or choose Downtown Budapest, where grand boulevards and Baroque courtyards frame 8 tastings of hearty gulyás soup, crispy lángos, tangy pickled vegetables and Hungarian meats, finished with chimney cake and a small Hungarian beer. Both routes are led by a guide who treats every stop like their own neighbourhood, and both hide a Secret Dish along the way, a local favourite we won't name until it's in front of you. Secret Food Tours built these routes into family kitchens that have fed locals for generations, not the ones built for tourists. Small groups, real recipes, real Budapest.

A remarkable archaeological site that provides a window into the ancient Roman history of Budapest. Located near the ruins of the Aquincum military camp, this ancient amphitheater once served as a center for entertainment and social gatherings during the Roman Empire. Built in the 2nd century AD, it could accommodate thousands of spectators who came to witness gladiatorial contests, theatrical performances, and other public spectacles.
One of Europe's most iconic and historically significant waterways, winding its way through ten countries from its source in the Black Forest of Germany to its delta in the Black Sea. As it flows through Budapest, Hungary's capital, the Danube serves as a central feature, dividing the city into its distinct halves: Buda and Pest. The river is a vital part of the city's identity, offering stunning panoramic views of historic landmarks such as the Hungarian Parliament Building and Buda Castle,
Óbuda is a charming neighborhood in Budapest that exudes a rich blend of history, culture, and local charm. is also a vibrant and evolving community with modern amenities, parks, and recreational areas. The neighborhood's dynamic blend of old and new makes it a fascinating destination for both locals and visitors alike.

George (tour guide) is an excellent guide to show you downtown Budapest. Knowledgeable and most friendly.
Thank you for your review! We’re glad we could be part of your time in the city and hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours.
Fabulous tour with Zoltan. Very well organised. Great choices for food stops. So much food - come hungry! Zoltan was really knowledgeable and great fun. Get the drinks package - the shots were something else! Came with our 2 teenagers and they loved it too - not too much walking!
It's always a pleasure hearing how guests experienced the tour. We're glad you came away with such positive memories and appreciate you taking the time to share them. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!
This is the best was to start a trip in a foreign country. Get a nice experience of the culinary scene by a local, some history as you walk around and get to meet some friendly people from all over the world along the way. Out guide Kitti was very friendly and followed up the tour with all the things we did, recipes and a picture. Great job!
Thank you for coming along with us. It's always a pleasure hearing that the tour delivered exactly what you were hoping for. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours.
We toured on a very very hot afternoon and Kitty did a great job managing that while sharing wonderful local places & tastes and seeking out shade, A/C and seats along the way. The tour was much better organized than many we’ve been on. This route is past many of the major tourist sites so you’ll also get some great photos of those. You will sample all the basics along your route and learn a bit more about what you might enjoy going back for. Highlights were the streudel, blueberry soup & sausage.
We appreciate you choosing to tour with us. Knowing you found so much to enjoy throughout the experience is wonderful to hear. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours!

This was by far one of my favorite food tours I’ve taken! This was LARGELY in part because of our tour guide Zoltan. He was one of a kind, funny, knowledgeable, and took us to delicious spots. Everything was clear & laid out. We had so much good traditional food I wasn’t sure I could eat anymore. And left with lots of laughs & memories. Zoltan is great. Please tip your guides. He definitely deserves it! Highly recommend this tour.
We truly appreciate you joining us! Reading about everything you enjoyed on the tour made our day. We hope you'll experience another Secret Food Tours tour in the future.
