5.00Guide , Miki, was outstanding. He was very intense and deeply connected to his subject. We learned so much! We were only 4 people in our tour so it was very private. Learned the Jewish history of Budapest, the history of the synagogue and all its various parts, especially the organ. As stunning as the interior is, we found the hero’s synagogue ‘s simplicity to be very beautiful as well. The garden area with the incredible Tree of Life, memorials to the Righteous and plaques about famous Jewish Hungarians pulled the whole experience together. The Jewish museum was ok but nothing special. Thank you Miki for allowing to learn so much from you as well as your patience in answering all our questions, especially the musical ones!
