Gypsy pumpkin is a hearty dish that, once you’ve tasted it, will have you licking all ten fingers!

It’s completely different from what you get in restaurants.

Why choose Gipsy Journey? for team-building?
It breaks down inhibitions
Making music together, rhythm games and dancing relieve tension in an instant. Participants step out of their usual roles, allowing more sincere and direct relationships to develop.
Fosters genuine cooperation
Shared rhythms and interactive tasks require attention, coordination and cooperation. The team is not just together; it creates together.
It promotes openness and acceptance
The programme offers an insight into a rich cultural world, provides new perspectives, and naturally fosters empathy and an appreciation of diversity.
A memorable, energising experience
This isn’t your typical team-building event. The live music, the food and the shared experiences create memories that colleagues will still be talking about years from now.
If required, the crew can travel to the location, provided it meets the programme’s requirements.
WHAT GIPSY JOURNEY HAS TO OFFER
This amazing experience in figures
At last, you’re not just an outside observer
Unlike most tourist programmes, here you don’t just watch the show from the sidelines; you become a genuine part of the community. The music, the communal dancing, the flavours and the storytelling create such a deep connection that it feels as though you’re sitting down at the table of an old friend’s family.
A sense of emotional fulfilment that stays with you
This event is not merely entertainment, but an emotional journey. The excitement of the dramatised marriage proposal, the pulsating gypsy music and the sincere, human moments combine to create a cathartic experience, after which all our guests leave smiling and enriched in spirit.
Guaranteed authentic culture
Many people love the fact that there are no artificial or touristy clichés here. Every flavour, every gesture and every word spoken comes from an authentic source, giving you a genuine, unadulterated insight into a unique heritage that you wouldn’t find anywhere else in this form.
The turning point
Travelling around the world, we noticed that many people either don’t understand Roma culture at all, or misunderstand it. On the other hand, when the family is together and our guests have joined us in the dance, the walls seem to disappear in that moment. That’s where the idea came from that this might appeal to others too.
Value and community
We are proud to be able to pass on our family values in such a direct and friendly way. Through this programme, we aim to help all those who are seeking genuine depth and sincere human connection during their travels. Tomorrow, you too could become a member of our family.

Become part of the community right from the start
At the start of the programme, we welcome you as part of our family with a traditional welcome drink, which immediately helps to break the ice. This warm gesture helps you let go of any tourist-like tension and surrender to genuine hospitality. Within the first few minutes, the distance between you and your hosts disappears.
02
learn the basics of Romani dance and language without even realising it
We teach you the basic Romani phrases and some fiery dance moves in an interactive way, whilst
We’re constantly on the move. You can feel the pulse of the language and the movement in time with the rhythm of the music – not
not just from a textbook, but through hands-on practice. By the end of the programme, you’ll be dancing alongside professional performers.
03
Discover the best of Roma cuisine
We serve authentic dishes as part of a buffet dinner: goulash, gypsy lecsó and the traditional
the best of our recipes. Sharing a meal gives you the chance not only to experience our culture, but also to
take it all in through the flavours. You’ll leave feeling satisfied and with memories you’ll be proud to share
at home.
Take part in a dramatised Romani marriage proposal
We present a spectacular and moving scene in three parts, in which we actively involve you as a witness or participant. This involvement helps you to understand the inner workings of Roma families and the beautiful order of our traditions. By the end of the scene, you will feel not like a tourist, but like an honoured guest at an important family event.
05
experience true Romani freedom through live music
Our professional musicians will provide a multi-part acoustic performance throughout the evening. You can discover the jug and the
unusual use of spoons as musical instruments – up close, not in a concert hall
from a distance. This powerful sense of musical intimacy conveys an emotional intensity that no recording can
make up for.
06
take the experience home with you
We’ll round off the evening with a group photo and the chance to buy souvenirs, so that Gipsy Journey remains not just a memory, but a tangible experience. The images, the words and the flavours all come together to create that
a story you’ll be proud to share with anyone after your trip.
