Best cooking class ever! - One of the best cooking classes I’ve ever done. George was fabulous and the food we made was amazing. Everyone participated and he made sure everyone had equal time while cooking. The shots and wine made it even better!

Excellent Experience - Must Do! - This was a fantastic experience. It was a highlight of our trip to Budapest. George was extremely knowledgeable in Hungarian history and cuisine. We made Chicken paprikash and it was incredible. It included a fantastic trip to the markets before going back to the apartment to cook. George was very personable and really made the experience. We highly recommend.

A MUST DO!! Our highlight! - I’ve been on a couple of food tours before, and I’m not exaggerating when I say this was, not only the best food tours, but one of the BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE. Kincso was a 15/10 host. We ate, we drank, we laughed and we learned so much about the city and the culture! Couldn’t recommend the tour more, and Foodapest should be so proud so have such an excellent Tour Guide! Great value for money, book now!

Wonderful experience even for novice cooks - The tour of the market was interesting. Who knew there was so many types of pickles? Marcell was a wonderful cook and a patient teacher. Thoroughly recommend this experience even for those with limited cooking skills. The Hungarian wines complemented the food (paprikas csirke and nokedli).
