5.00David was our tour guide and hugely informative. A great historian of Jewish history in general and specifics of the Jewish people in Hungary. A great explainer of the basics of the faith. The building and grounds are stunning and the story it tells, quite moving. This was a very worthwhile tour.

4.00The synagogue was absolutely spectacular it was much more ornate than expected but still very beautiful. our guide was interesting. I wish he gave us a little bit more of the Jewish history throughout the ages not only of ww2. I also wish he gave us more history and of the symbolism of the interesting items within the synagogue.
Expensive visit hardly value for money paid.

3.00Extremely expensive to visit compared to other great sites around the city. Not value for money. Free guide! 15-20 mins. Museum walked around gardens and both synagogues on same site. Several people turned away due to prices! No seniors reduction either.
Excellent guide
