“This tour left a little more to be desired. First, let’s start with the positive: Gabor, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and full of historical information on the origins of each food or drink as well as the history of the food. He was great. The tour was originally meant to be a 2 hour food tour. Our tour was finished in 1 hour. We traveled to two places. At the second place, Gabor brought food and drink from other locations (cold chimney cake, Palinka and souvenir glasses, and a popular candy bar). We ate quickly, and felt slightly rushed. Traditionally, in our experience with prior food tours,…”
