Budapest Wine Tasting including lunch

Budapest Wine tasting tour and lunchThis wine tasting tour in Budapest is perfect for all wine lovers and such with an interested in Hungarian wine and food culture. This is not a simple wine tasting in Budapest but you will also be offered a lunch. Hungarian wines (at least most of them) are really of good quality but fairly expensive. That is the result of small wineyards who don’t export wines and just offer it on the local market. To keep the quality up and the name good they ask for sometimes redicolous prices for a bottle of wine. If you take a normal bottle of medium quality red wine you will pay approximately 3 times as much as a same quality wine from France or Italy.

Anyways this tour will give you a very good inside into Hungarian wine making culture and also the Hungarian traditional food. Next to the wines you will get offered a 3 course meal including the traditional Hungarian Goulash Soup. You will see how the food is made and what ingrediants you need to prepare it at home. The soup is followed by another traditional meal which is not fixed and some dessert typically eaten in Hungary. During that time you have the chence to tast a lot of wines from different regions in Hungary such as the famous Villany or Tokaj wines. You will also visit a market to see the local food variety.

Budapest Bike Tour

Bike Tour BudapestEvent though I consider riding the bike in Budapest is quite dangerous I think that a bike tour is the best way to see the city. A Budapest Bike Tour is the fastest way to see many sights plus you are on the fresh air and you even have some movement. So forget about your workout and book a Budapest Bike Tour instead of the traditional bus tours. By bus or car you are much slower than with a bike and if you stay on the bike lanes in the city (your guide will do so) there is no danger in riding the bike in Budapest. This tour includes a tour guide, the bikes as well as a helmet, a bag and a basket if you want. So when you book this tour you will be fully equipped and ready to go.

Budapest Tour

Budapest Tour

A Budapest tour is a must since Budapest has so many sights to offer that you hardly can see them all if you stay for a weekend. Even in a week you will only be able to see the major sights and visit some of them to get a better view on the sights. Therefore a Budapest tour is the perfect choice because you get guided through the city, see all sights and all that most of the times from a comfortable seat in a bus.

But there are many ways to explore Budapest and its sights other than the typical bus sightseeing tour. For example you could go on a Segway Tour through Budapest which is a lot of fun but you will not see all sights. Another possibility is the tour by boat which is a very often booked way of discovering Budapest especially in the night to see the lights and buildings of the city in a rather romantic way. So whatever you are up to, an exciting tour or a relaxed and guided tour here you will find whatever you need and whatever you can get.
