5.00George was an extremely knowledgeable guide. As a local, he includes interesting local vendors in his tour. He was also a great source of local information. The food stops provided a wonderful introduction to some favourite Hungarian dishes, from pickles and sausage to langos and chimney cakes. Also included was goulash and beer, and a lovely liquor made by George and his family.
