Along the way, you'll bite into deep-fried lángos, sip on fizzy grape must and hear the story behind goulash communism, a fascinating chapter in Hungary's political history.You'll also stop inside a historic market hall for homemade paprika dips and a glass of local wine, and pass through Gozsdu Court, a lively courtyard once part of the Jewish ghetto.The tour is limited to a maximum of 12 guests.
