Felt like family, this off the grid tour is the BEST! - Wow! Want to feel like a true local? Book this! Driver/interpreter was amazing, had a family connection to our hosts which made it even more interesting hearing all of their history. We felt like their family by the end of it. Food was superb, made with love. I want to go back and just hang out on the couch with them!

Dinner with locals - Our Hungarian dinner with locals was great. A nice young couple with a baby. Food was great. The pickup and return to our hotel was very unique and greatly appreciated. A highlight of our visit to Budapest.

Wonderful Evening with a Hungarian Couple in their Flat - Attilla picked us up and helped translate. George and Kata (both young architects) were wonderful hosts and cooked up a four course meal ending with crepes for dessert. Good conversation learning about their lives, and seeing the quarters people live in in Budapest. Highly recommend. --Eric & Debora Edmunds

Dinner with Young Hungarian Professionals - We were picked up at our hotel by Atilla, the tour director, who took us to the private apartment of a young English-speaking Hungarian couple, both architects. We had a fascinating evening. Dinner was a "grandmother's recipe" and delicious. The couple was charming and gave us a real education on what it means to be young in Hungary today. Very informative and fun. These were real folks who let us into their homes and lives. Not to be missed.

Dinner with locals is a winner! - Atilla was fantastic! We wanted to do the dinner with locals in their home, but needed certain adjustments to the normal event. Atilla somehow managed to accommodate our unique requests with no problem! He has a fantastic personality, very welcoming and making you feel comfortable immediately. And the hosts, a fantastic young couple, made us an incredible dinner, with Danny even making a cake. I would highly recommend Atilla for any tour!

An Experience to cherish - This was the highlight of our visit. Atilla picked us up at our hotel and took us to the home of George and his wife. She prepared a 4 course traditional Hungarian dinner. We had many dinners and lunches at different restaurants in Hungary, and none compared to the dinner at George's house. The evening was filled with good conversation and laughter. I recommended it to friends we met on our cruise, and they said it was also a highlight of their trip. To have an evening in the home of a family is an experience few get to enjoy, but it is one that will be cherished for our lifetime.

Do not miss this! - We had a wonderful dinner with our Hungarian family in their comfortable and welcoming home. Our guide Atilla did a wonderful job translating and keeping the dinner talk lively. The food was wonderful and plentiful with two Hungarian wines, a starter, soup, a main course and dessert. In addition to all this we were picked up and dropped off at our lodging. Definitely a highlight!

A good idea but the hosts had other priorities - The host couple had a very young baby and honestly weren’t really ready to host tourists, again. We did have some interesting conversations but the mum looked a little frazzled and kept disappearing. I felt sorry for her as she had clearly been pressured into hosting, this night. Also, make sure that your dietary requirements are clearly communicated.
