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.
