“We had a bit of a rocky start because of email issues initially but Viator acknowledged their oversight which was no reflection on the tour operator at all and 'made things right' for us. Bravo Viator for stepping up! As for the tour itself, we absolutely loved the Market walk and class. Cecilia was wonderful. The Market walk was really incredible because I was introduced to new products that I'd never seen or used before. Major bonus! And although we had visited that Market twice before on our own, her connections with the vendor/s showered us even more special treatment in terms of samples, history and origins of particular ingredients.…”

“We had a great time in the Pixie Kitchen Marti and Gabor could not have been nicer to us. We learned how to cook Hungarian and took our skills back home to cook for our friends. We also got a glimpse into life in Budapest through a local's perspective, invaluable. A great evening of cooking, talking and, oh yes, eating delicious food we helped prepare. The highlight of our stay in Budapest!!!!”
Review of Budapest’s Central Market tour and cooking class with Chef Marti, including menus, price, itinerary, logistics, and who should book.
“Marti was a terrific host! We very much enjoyed the eclectic market she took us through. Her kitchen site was adorably decorated. Her homemade fruit drinks and jams were an extra treat. Her stories growing up in the countryside were extremely interesting. And, of course, the food selections and cooking opportunities were perfect. Definitely recommend!”

“This cooking class was one of the best we have done so far. We try to do at least one (and a lot of times more) cooking class in every country we visit in Europe. Marti was awesome! This class is full hands on. She doesn’t just show you how to mix, knead, or stir while she does it all. She shows you or tells you how and then you do it. My husband even enjoyed it. The most cooking he does at home is warm things in the microwave. The food we made was delicious. Marti made cooking fun. You can really tell that she loves her job.”
